00:10It was a beautiful wedding.
00:13I really was smitten with him.
00:18Sean could be very funny and charming and charismatic.
00:22I have the most gorgeous bride.
00:23I love her. Love her very much.
00:27It was really everything I dreamed of.
00:30You're doing great. You're doing a champ.
00:32About two minutes old.
00:34Seemed like what every woman wants.
00:37Can you say baby?
00:38Baby.
00:40And that's the scary thing.
00:43Don't f*** out of me.
00:47The tape is blood-curdling.
00:50My house is nice to have you.
00:52I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just breathing.
01:42I'm Andrea Gunning and this is Betrayal.
01:44A show about the people we trust the most and the deceptions that change everything.
01:52Crystal Harris grew up knowing exactly what she wanted.
01:54A career, a family, and a loving husband.
01:57But when the man she married revealed his true self, everything she built came crashing down.
02:04Crystal, thank you so much for being here with me today.
02:06It's nice to be here with you.
02:08How would you describe your ex-husband?
02:13He was a great person in the beginning.
02:16I really thought he was amazing.
02:18And by the end of our relationship, I really just don't even think he was the same person.
02:25Did you feel like you were living with a stranger in your household?
02:27I mean, I felt like I was living in a house of horrors.
02:40I was born in the city of Corona.
02:45But when I was 10 years old, my parents divorced and my dad moved to the beach in Carlsbad.
02:54And I wanted to be at the beach in Carlsbad, too.
02:59And then I had decided when I was about 16 years old that I wanted to be a stockbroker or
03:05a financial advisor.
03:08I pictured myself as like a businesswoman.
03:11She always knew exactly what she wanted to do.
03:13And because she is good at everything that she does, those things happen the way that she wanted them to.
03:18And when she wanted them to.
03:20My plan was that I wanted to graduate at 21.
03:24I wanted to get a job.
03:26I wanted to get married shortly after I graduated college.
03:29So that would be, in my mind, 23.
03:32And so I met Sean at the perfect time.
03:36I met Sean between my third and fourth years in college.
03:40We both worked at a restaurant.
03:42And I just was taken with him.
03:45He was athletic.
03:47And he had athletic build and blonde hair.
03:49And blue eyes.
03:50And I can see where the attraction came from.
03:52He kind of had a swagger about him.
03:55And he was so smart.
03:58He was studying mathematics along with computer stuff.
04:02And he was a really hard worker.
04:04I was impressed by that.
04:05And so it wasn't long before we were dating.
04:10They were together all the time.
04:13And I thought Sean was a really nice guy.
04:17Sean could be very funny and charming and charismatic.
04:20And he just made her laugh all the time.
04:22He was thoughtful and loving.
04:26And I felt like he was proud to be with me.
04:32He had a whole different family dynamic than I had.
04:37He had two parents that were together.
04:39He was the oldest of four siblings.
04:42And Sean was super close with his dad.
04:47His dad really seemed to get a lot of pleasure out of how much Sean loved to play sports.
04:54He was a soccer player.
04:55He was a baseball player.
04:57He was a football player.
04:59And when I first met him, he was really into kickboxing.
05:03He really was like a man among men as far as physicality goes.
05:11During our first or second year of dating, we took a little trip to Vegas.
05:16And just a melee started to break out.
05:20And I was scared.
05:21But what I noticed about Sean was that he was looking to go towards the action.
05:27He liked it.
05:30To Crystal, it seemed like Sean was trying to protect her.
05:34And it made her feel safe.
05:38Once I graduated, I had a finance degree.
05:42And we moved in together.
05:45I got my job shortly after.
05:49And I was in New York for some training for like three or four weeks.
05:53And so one of the weekends, Sean came.
05:56And we went up into the very, very top of the Statue of Liberty.
06:01And he proposed to me there.
06:03I really just thought that this is the way life is supposed to be.
06:09And it's my pleasure to announce on your behalf, to all those here present, that you are husband and wife.
06:18The wedding was great.
06:20I got to sort of descend down this whole staircase.
06:32And I loved my dress so much.
06:37It was really everything I dreamed of.
06:47We're leaving tomorrow for our honeymoon to Jamaica.
06:50Fun in the sun, get dreadlocks, get in trouble.
06:55And just I want to say that this is the beginning of a lifetime.
07:02Bye!
07:03Bye!
07:05Bye!
07:14After we got married, I'm working really hard as a financial advisor.
07:20And he's working real hard for his dad, trying to keep his dad's used car dealership afloat.
07:26It was really a lot of growing together.
07:31Everything in Crystal's life was playing out exactly as she had planned it back in high school.
07:37But in a lot of young marriages, there are moments of stress.
07:41And in one of those moments, Sean revealed a side of himself Crystal had never seen before.
07:49In 1998, we were two years into the marriage, and we had sold a car.
07:55So I would go to the office, and then Sean would need to get to work.
07:59And so I had planned to leave so that I could drop him off and then go back.
08:04And he kept being late.
08:09Finally, it got to a day where I was really mad.
08:17According to Crystal, Sean's response was totally unprecedented.
08:22He just threw the back of his hand into my face.
08:29It floored me.
08:33Did he just hit me?
08:35That was it.
08:36It's over.
08:43Once Sean hit me in the car, I just started driving again.
08:48And as soon as I dropped him off, I made a police report.
08:51I got a restraining order.
08:52I called an attorney to file for divorce.
08:56And I told everyone.
08:59And so when he was arrested, I was not there because I had to go back to the office.
09:05And by the time I got home, the sliding glass door on the balcony had been completely smashed.
09:11Of course he did that.
09:12And I felt like that's his response to what I did.
09:16So when Crystal told me that Sean hit her, I was surprised.
09:20I just thought she deserved so much better.
09:24Maybe a month or so went by, and I got a call from Sean's dad.
09:31And he was telling me how sorry Sean has been, and he's taking anger management classes.
09:40And so we did start talking on the phone, and Sean seemed like he was devastated.
09:49But there was no one besides Sean's family that wanted me to go back with him.
09:55The more we talked to her about leaving, she would just kind of clam up because she didn't want to
10:00talk about it.
10:01She wasn't always great about taking advice.
10:03At the time, you know, I'm 25 years old.
10:06I thought I knew everything, and I thought that it was something that I could handle.
10:11And I thought I knew better than them.
10:14So, above everyone's objections, I went back to him.
10:22My name is Verna Griffin-Tabor, but I prefer to go by V.
10:26For 25 years, I ran a non-profit rape crisis domestic violence agency.
10:31And so I've seen people like Crystal.
10:35When Sean began to apologize, she believed it was honest and that they could move forward.
10:41They seemingly are able to get past the violent outburst.
10:47And things are really great for four years.
10:51And in 2002, Crystal gets pregnant with her first child.
10:55Well, your dad and I are just waiting for you to arrive.
10:59We just want you to know that we love each other, and that's going to be what we want to
11:06have for you, is to have a good, strong marriage, and to show you what a healthy relationship is.
11:15And I have my own baby, your brother, or sister, baby Shushu, that I'm getting rid of.
11:22When I planned my life early on, I was like, at 30, I shall have a child.
11:26I'm doing great. You've been a champ.
11:28It turns out I had my first son five days before my 30th birthday.
11:35No time for your hair.
11:37Crystal was very, very successful at what she did, and was able to support her family and allow Sean to
11:46become a stay-at-home dad.
11:47We're not putting you in daycare. The plan is I'm going to go from a car salesman, which I've been
11:52for 10 years, and I'm going to be Mr. Mom.
11:56Calcium bottle, baby.
12:01It's been fun.
12:04I'm not trying to stereotype, but it seemed to me like Sean would have been more the man's man, and
12:11he would have wanted the wife or the mom to stay home with the kids.
12:19But it seemed as though Sean was fine with being the stay-at-home dad.
12:26I love dropping babies.
12:28He was thrilled to have a baby, and so it just came time to do it all again.
12:36It should be a lot of fun.
12:37We have brothers for life.
12:39Brothers for life.
12:40We just thought, this is what life is all about.
12:43Oh, good job. What a nice thing here.
12:48Can you say baby?
12:49Baby.
12:50Good boy.
12:50Boo!
12:52By all accounts, Sean loved being a stay-at-home dad. He really adored his children.
12:58Boo!
13:03I think it worked up into the point where Sean's dad passed away from lung cancer.
13:08And it was quick between the diagnosis and the death, and it seemed to throw my husband for a loop.
13:18I had a few things I wanted to tell you about my son, because I'm not just the best man.
13:23I'm also the groom's dad.
13:26Sean cared very much what his dad thought of him.
13:30To the bride and groom!
13:32To the bride and groom!
13:35And it seemed like once his dad was not on this earth anymore, Sean's whole demeanor seemed to deteriorate.
13:44Wait, move.
13:44Hold me, stop.
13:45Move. Just for a minute, honey.
13:46Okay, Kobe.
13:47That's true!
13:48How are you?
13:49Move.
13:49To Crystal, it was like he had nobody left to impress. This wasn't the man that Crystal fell in love
13:57with.
13:58No, no, no. No hit. No. No hit!
14:04And he was getting more and more aggressive towards Crystal. She says he wasn't hitting her, but he was intimidating
14:11her physically.
14:13He definitely learned from the anger management incident the first time not to just hit me in the face and
14:19give me a black eye.
14:22He would act like he's going to throw something at me, or break my stuff, or push me up against
14:32a wall, but not something I could, like, have the police show up and say, look what he did to
14:37me.
14:39But I did call the police, and it would de-escalate a situation. Sean would agree to chill out.
14:48She's very good about putting on this facade of happy life, happy marriage. I didn't know it was that bad.
14:57The guilt and shame that people feel oftentimes silences them from reaching out for help or sharing what they're really
15:04going through, because it's really coming to terms with it themselves.
15:10I wasn't happy with this, but I thought, I don't want to break up my home for my kids.
15:16I saw him getting more and more physical with my older son.
15:20Like, let's say we're sitting somewhere, like, out in public, and he doesn't want my son to be making so
15:25much noise or something, and he would do this thing where he'd pinch on both sides of his thigh so
15:30hard.
15:32It was a level of physical control that was unnecessary, but every incident would obviously make it the norm in
15:42our house.
15:42And I didn't realize that I was just getting deeper and deeper in.
15:50The first inkling I had that there was something off was one night when I was there.
15:57Sean was like, I'm going to go get Del Taco.
16:01So he leaves, and when it's, like, noticeable that he should have been back by now, she was annoyed, obviously,
16:11but I thought, like, she doesn't seem as upset as I would be.
16:15So it must not be the first time this has happened.
16:22Sean would often leave for hours.
16:25It was just a way to keep me on my toes.
16:29But that was the first time he did it in front of someone else.
16:35I definitely think that because Crystal was a breadwinner and that he was a stay-at-home dad, that he
16:40definitely was looking for a way to assert himself, and that was how he did it.
16:46So after that, I was not very nice to Sean, but Crystal said, please be nice to him, because Sean
16:53won't let you see the boys if you don't.
16:55And so I sucked it up and just started being civil.
17:00So August of 2007, Sean and I got in a big fight.
17:08I called the police.
17:10But this time when Sean left, he left for days.
17:18And after a few days went by, he walked into the house, and I said, oh, my God, you're back.
17:26Like, are we going to talk about this?
17:28When Sean walked into the room, he wasn't mad.
17:31He was actually quite calm, which makes what he said to Crystal that much more chilling.
17:37He said, you're not going to leave, and if you do, I will kill you.
17:47After the death threat started, I obviously realized I can't stay here, but now I can't figure out how to
17:55leave.
17:57Because in my mind, if I make the move to get out, that's my death.
18:05I'm Summer Steffen.
18:06I'm San Diego County's district attorney, and I've spent a career focusing on special victims.
18:13And in Crystal's case, it's a catch-22, because she's trying to get out of the relationship.
18:18But understanding that that would bring a feeling of loss of control on his part that could make the violence
18:26go up.
18:27So I knew he liked to corner me in my bathroom closet, and that is where I set up a
18:36tape recorder.
18:38I just thought, maybe I'll have a chance to get these death threats on tape.
18:44I had never felt like I wasn't the one in control of my life before this point.
18:51And I started going to church, and it helped me a lot.
18:56And we were having an Easter fair at my church, and I knew the kids would love it.
19:02And so I begged Sean to come to this thing, but he was just mean to me all day.
19:08And we're leaving this event, and we're stuck in traffic or whatever.
19:14And he started, like, making gestures to cars.
19:16And I said, Sean, these are people I go to church with.
19:18And that's when I feel the whack across my face.
19:25When he hit me, I had a snow cone in my hand, and it just splattered the snow cone up
19:30against the window.
19:31And kids saw it.
19:33That's when he goes, you've been pushing my buttons all day, and now I'm going to push yours.
19:37And he put his finger into this part of my neck, and he, like, choked me.
19:44When children witness a father committing domestic violence, statistically, they are 800% more likely to be violent themselves.
19:54There was no thought how the children were affected.
19:58That very same night, I went and bought a gun.
20:03Crystal was preparing for the moment that she would leave Sean, and she decided that she needed a gun, not
20:09to use it against Sean, but to protect herself.
20:12I thought this was my way out.
20:15But in California, there's a 10-day waiting period, so I've got to keep it cool until I can pick
20:22up my gun.
20:27A few days went by, and he just says he wants to have sex with me.
20:33We're not even talking.
20:34Like, no, I'm not having sex with you.
20:38And then he made up some story about me lying to him.
20:44He told her, I'm going to punish you, and you're going to be punished by being sexually abused, because he
20:51understood that is the way to dehumanize her.
20:57And so, I remembered that I had that tape recorder, and I thought, I will be damned if this happens
21:04to me, and I don't have proof that it happens.
21:09He allowed me to go to the bathroom, and when I came out, I just acted like I was getting
21:14something out of my underwear drawer, and I hit record.
21:20And at that point, he is wanting me to give him oral sex.
21:25I have to warn you, what you're about to hear is really tough.
21:30It's horrifying.
21:32But that doesn't do it justice.
21:51When I'm not doing what he wants me to do, he's hitting me.
22:01And he's also choking me.
22:04I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're free.
22:07I was just crying.
22:09I was saying no.
22:10I don't want to be right.
22:11I don't want to be free.
22:15And then, I don't want to be super graphic, but I will just say that he kept threatening me with
22:21anal sex.
22:31And I said, come here, this is normal, like normal sex.
22:38And so, he did vaginally rape me that day.
22:44Sex between a married couple is supposed to be loving, and in this case, he used it as a weapon.
22:50Spousal rape was the final act of betrayal.
22:55During the entire assault, Sean and Crystal's two sons are upstairs playing.
22:59There was no regard for what those boys might be hearing.
23:03It is truly sickening.
23:06When he finished, there's like this secondary conversation about me being a liar.
23:11And I said, I was confused.
23:12And he said, you're not confused.
23:14I'll write that on your forehead when I dump your body.
23:23He even, like, taunts me to call the police.
23:25Please do.
23:34I didn't call the police that day, though, because I was still afraid.
23:39This was a Friday.
23:41I'm supposed to pick up my gun the following Wednesday.
23:44And I just remember telling myself I've got to hold out for that.
23:51Because I know that as Wednesday approaches, I'm going to be leaving, like, escaping with the kids.
24:02Tuesday, sure enough, I get home that evening, and he immediately has it out for me.
24:09Where have you been all day?
24:10Where did you go?
24:12I said, I was at work.
24:13I got lunch at one point, but that's it.
24:18He just puts his hands straight around my neck again.
24:21And this time, he is squeezing so hard.
24:28He's about to kill me.
24:33He finally did let go.
24:36And says, you are going to get butt-
24:41And the kids were just upstairs and awake the whole time.
24:47And I just remember thinking I have to get through this.
24:56After the second attack, I just got in the shower, and I just started crying.
25:01The deepest cry I'd ever cried in my life.
25:05Because the increase in the level of violence was so alarming.
25:11But the worst thing was, like, the look in his eyes and realizing how much he was loving it.
25:23She really knew she was in harm's way at that point.
25:31Even though I still didn't have my gun, I just grabbed my cell phone and ran out the front door.
26:04When the police went to apprehend him, he was playing video games.
26:07At no point was Sean thinking that he could get in trouble for this behavior.
26:12It was like he was so detached from reality.
26:22I remember just feeling so bad for Crystal and so bad for the kids.
26:27And I couldn't imagine.
26:29I couldn't imagine.
26:41My name is Judy Tashner, and I'm a Deputy District Attorney with the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
26:49Sean Harris was charged with spousal rape, sodomy, and forcible oral copulation.
26:58And unfortunately, we rarely are able to prosecute spousal rape cases because of the private nature of the crime.
27:09But to have that audio recording, I've never had that type of evidence before.
27:16I wasn't emotionally ready for how much I was on trial.
27:23In domestic violence cases, the first traumatic event is the actual event itself.
27:29And unfortunately, the second traumatic event is having to relive it in court.
27:46It was simply a horrific tape.
27:49Screaming, yelling, pleading with Mr. Harris not to do this.
27:58And the jury got to hear that.
28:03But the defense tried to turn that into that it was a setup.
28:09Our position was that she had the tape because when the abusers already told them,
28:15no one's going to believe you, and I'm going to end your life if you leave me, that's not entrapment,
28:21that's survival.
28:23Sean Harris took the stand and testified that this was role play.
28:30It was rough sex, but no time did I force her to do anything against her will.
28:35Mr. Harris told the court this was a sex game we played.
28:39This was part of our normal sexual activity.
28:42Just another opportunity to yell and scream and get our adrenaline pumping during sex.
28:48Who yells and screams?
28:49Both of us.
28:52It was so insulting to me.
28:54That was the one and only defense he had, though.
29:00Fortunately, the jury did not buy it.
29:04Sean was ultimately found guilty of one charge, forcible oral copulation.
29:10The other two charges, the jury was deadlocked, so those charges were dismissed.
29:17So in this case, Sean Harris was sentenced to six years in state prison, but the case had been pending
29:24for several years.
29:25And so once you're sentenced, you get credit for all that time that you've been spending in custody.
29:33He had done a year and a half before the trial, and then in California, if you're convicted of a
29:40sex offense, you have to serve 85% of your sentence.
29:43And so a six-year sentence was really only like three and a half years.
29:50All I could think of was what happens the year he gets out.
29:57As if the criminal trial wasn't enough, Sean and Crystal were battling it out in family court.
30:04This started right after he was arrested.
30:06It went on well past his criminal conviction.
30:11He filed for alimony from me, and the thought of it just drove me crazy.
30:19But the worst part was that the judge actually ordered me to pay.
30:25I'm Michaela Curran, and I was the attorney for Crystal Harris in the family law trial.
30:31Everyone in California is entitled to spousal support if one party out-earns the other.
30:37And so it would be $3,000 a month.
30:40And the judge reduced it down to $1,000 a month, and we called that the rape discount.
30:49It would be sexist of me not to order him to receive alimony, he said.
30:55And so therefore, you're going to pay.
30:58And his attorney's fees as well.
31:01I was outraged.
31:03She agreed to pay $47,000 in attorney's fees to opposing counsel.
31:10In California, you don't get spousal support while you're incarcerated.
31:14And so I didn't have to pay for that until he got out of prison.
31:19But the judge made it very clear to Sean.
31:22He said, the minute you get out of jail, you can ask for that spousal support again.
31:28Crystal was crushed because it's essentially like she's being punished.
31:34And so I told the judge, if you make me pay him alimony, I will get the law changed.
31:43And he said, you'll change the law, you'll get the law changed.
31:46And I said, I will.
31:53Shortly after the hearing where I was ordered to pay Sean alimony, I felt like I've got to do something.
32:02An appeal in California can take a year, a year and a half to get done.
32:07And so she contacted the San Diego district attorney, and they got interested in it.
32:15So when we studied the family code, it turned out there was an exception to paying alimony.
32:22But it was only if you were convicted of murder or attempted murder.
32:31There were no protections for other types of victims, and Crystal tried to expand that law.
32:39I said, listen, all we have to do is just say, if your spouse is convicted of a violent sexual
32:45felony,
32:46then the judge cannot order any financial rewards for the spouse.
32:53So they wrote up the bill, and then we got a local assemblywoman named Toni Atkins to bring the bill
33:02forward.
33:03But I just thought, if I just keep talking about this,
33:07then the politicians would have a little more pressure to vote for it.
33:13Once she told her story, the story exploded.
33:17Tonight, a case that has created outrage and controversy in California.
33:21A California woman is ordered to pay spousal support to her ex-husband, but get this,
33:26he's behind bars for raping her.
33:29Anyone who heard this at the time was just like, what?
33:32That's not the law already.
33:34It is heinous and morally reprehensible that you would ever make a rape victim pay her rapist.
33:43Crystal put a face on it, and it made it very clear that anyone can be a victim, but anyone
33:51can fight back.
33:54I went up to the Capitol in Sacramento, and I testified in favor of its passage.
33:59It's morally wrong and outrageous for a criminal to profit from his victim.
34:05It should not matter that the criminal and victim happen to be husband and wife.
34:10It passed unanimously.
34:15Crystal, last time we spoke, we said, I can't believe you need a law for this,
34:19but now there's a law on the table.
34:21How are you feeling tonight?
34:24I feel great about it, Vinny.
34:25I appreciate you having me on to be able to talk about it, and it's happening.
34:30It's finally happening.
34:33After that, it had to go to the governor, and he signed it in September of 2012.
34:42I got the law passed, and it was just a very short window of about a year and a half
34:48until he got out of prison.
34:52Once he got out, Sean was living with his mom and working as a taxi driver, and Crystal was working
34:58to make it as a single mom.
35:00But Sean wasn't content to move on.
35:04It just felt like a very short respite before everything started up again with him.
35:10Like, I was ordered to immediately reunify my kids without him doing anything else.
35:18And luckily, I got with a group who, pro bono, took my case up on appeal, and we won.
35:28There were so many things I had to do to, like, fight tooth and nail to make sure the kids
35:35were safe from their dad.
35:38He was on very high supervision parole.
35:42He wasn't even allowed to come into San Diego County, but he got off parole in 2019,
35:49and I found that I did not feel safe even with my gun.
35:54Because he used to say weird things like,
35:56the best kind of revenge is the kind when someone's, like, comfortable in their life,
36:02and then you go back and get them.
36:03And he just scared me.
36:06She was terrified.
36:08She got German Shepherds that were trained attack dogs,
36:11and we always had an exit plan if he ever did come back.
36:18Come 2021, he had been out since 2014.
36:22When I get a call from a deputy district attorney up in Los Angeles County
36:26telling me Sean Harris has been arrested again,
36:33I wasn't surprised at all.
36:37Ten and a half years after Sean's conviction, Sean is with a new woman,
36:41and that woman calls the police to report that Sean has sexually assaulted her.
36:46But that's not all.
36:48She alleges that there's abuse against her underage daughter.
36:51In this case, the tiger did not change its stripes.
36:57Leading up to Sean's trial, the DA asked Crystal if she'd be willing to testify against Sean,
37:02and she agreed.
37:05But Sean decides that he's going to be representing himself in court.
37:09Sean would be the one questioning her, bringing them face to face.
37:19In 2024, Sean stood trial on five felony counts for sexual offenses against the woman he was dating
37:25and her underage daughter.
37:27But what no one saw coming was that Sean was going to represent himself.
37:34I can see how it would be very hard to have your perpetrator be able to question you directly.
37:42But when I had to go testify, it had been 16 years since the crime happened.
37:52I just felt no fear, and I actually felt relieved that it was Sean that was going to be cross
38:00-examining me,
38:01not like a seasoned defense attorney.
38:23As soon as I was on the stand and he started to question me, I just went,
38:28oh, okay, this is going to be easy.
38:33Did we role play in the marriage?
38:35We did not.
38:37Did you testify otherwise?
38:39No.
38:42Almost all of his questions were, like, objected to and sustained because of relevance.
38:48Mostly he would ask just stupid things.
38:51The jury deliberated for nine days, correct?
38:53Objection and relevance.
38:55Sustained.
38:58It does not surprise me at all that he thought he could be his own attorney
39:02and that that would be better than having someone defend him.
39:07Mr. Harris, you've already covered the subject matter.
39:09Please begin to wrap up.
39:14Because of the conviction in my case, now we're talking 25 years to life.
39:22Because he's convicted of a super strike, which is a crime that is a really heinous crime, repeated.
39:30In the end, he got 100 years to life.
39:38Crystal was finally safe and finally free.
39:43Crystal's story, it's so powerful to me.
39:47She pursued something never knowing if she would get the results of that legislation, but she did it anyway because
39:54she knew it was wrong.
39:56Crystal Harris was an example of the criminal courts can sometimes only do so much.
40:02You have to keep fighting.
40:03She has made a difference for other domestic violence victims, men and women.
40:14I always was able to keep everything in perspective in terms of, I happened to fall in love and marry
40:21a criminal.
40:25And the happiness and serenity and peace that I have in my life since his arrest, which also coincides with
40:34the fact that I met my new husband,
40:38is immeasurable.
40:41They say the best revenge is living well, and she's as happy as she's ever been, and she's definitely come
40:46out ahead.
40:47I'd like to make a toast to my mother and to Sam for their marriage, and meaning to my mother
40:54for how great you are.
40:56Looking for love again is really hard.
40:58Like, you went through a terrible time, and for you to do this is incredible, and you're a marvelous woman
41:05for that.
41:07I am proud to say that my boys have never seen Sean since that day I called 911.
41:14They're 22 and 20 now, and my oldest son works full-time, and then my younger one, he's learning welding,
41:23and he's such a good person.
41:26To my mom, and to Sam, and to the future.
41:32All I can say is, I'm living a whole new part of life, and it's so beautiful.
41:39All I can say is, I'm living a whole new part of life, and I'm living a whole new part
41:53of life, and I'm living a whole new part of life, and I'm living a whole new part of life,
41:53and I'm living a whole new part of life, and I'm living a whole new part of life, and I'm
