Woman reveals pedophile husband drugged her every night so he could rape minor daughter

The wife of a convicted pedophile, who molested their daughter, has finally spoken about how their lives became a "legal living hell" after she found the truth about her husband.

Rachel, whose true identity has been kept hidden and who is from Sydney, Australia, was reportedly married to Timothy James Stewart for around 12 years before she found out that he had been sexually abusing their daughter after drugging her and the minor victim. According to the woman, Stewart after abusing his 12-year-old step daughter, had set his eyes on the younger one.

The realization of what her husband of more than a decade had done started a lengthy four-year legal battle that ended with the 45-year-old man being jailed for 32 years.

With her husband in jail now, Rachel has revealed the exact moment when she found out that she was married to a "monster". She wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald that the doctors at a hospital she went to could never understand why she was always so lethargic.

When Rachel's youngest daughter approached her saying she didn't know "who he really is", her monstrous husband's true intentions were finally brought to the forefront.

The mother-of-two then spoke about how she found out that Stewart would drug her and her eldest daughter, who was only 12 at the time before he would sexually assault the child. She then found out that he had groomed and molested the girl over the course of four years.

Stewart then started targeting the youngest daughter, whose age has remained undisclosed. The child wrote a letter to her mother in order to tell her about what was happening but the pedophile destroyed it before Rachel could read its contents.

The man then allegedly told her that the eldest daughter did not call him "Dad" anymore in spite of him being her stepfather. Rachel asked her daughter why and the girl responded by saying: "You don't know him. You have no idea who he really is."

Rachel recalled the moment in clear detail, writing: "The minute she said it, I knew. A pit opened up in my stomach. I told him, 'Everything she says, points to you being inappropriate with her.'"

The cowardly pedophile then fled the family home without informing anyone and was subsequently arrested in the Blue Mountains just hours later.

Rachel also said because of the "legal living hell" that her life became during the 4 years of legal battle, she wished she was the one who found him and "pushed him off a cliff" instead of going through the legal process.

The legal proceedings took a toll on Rachel, as she tried to keep her family together as a single mom, working to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.

"But I had to take so much time off, my work contract wasn’t renewed," she wrote.

However, the hard times eventually paid off and the memory cards that Stewart had with all the recorded vile acts eventually proved to be his undoing in late 2017 when he received a guilty verdict.

Due to the continued delays in court dates and all the stress she endured, Rachel is now supporting a campaign to build a South-West Sydney Justice Precinct in order to streamline the system.

She said: "They say justice delayed is justice denied. I was denied justice for far too long because of the lack of court facilities in south-western Sydney. It need not keep happening."
