WE HAVE ANOTHER DEFENDER OF THE PEDOPHILES, KEK
Actress Maddie Corman reveals why she stood by her Law & Order director husband after he was convicted of possessing child porn
Maddie Corman, 49, of New York, stayed with director husband Jace Alexander
In 2016, Alexander, 54, pleaded guilty to two felony child pornography charges
Said she stayed with him so their three children will 'grow up with two parents'
Ms Corman fears that by staying with him she is undermining #MeToo movement
Her play about the ordeal Accidentally Brave opened at DR2 Theater last month
An actress whose husband pleaded guilty to child pornography charges has revealed why she stood by him and what inspired her to write a one-woman show about the ordeal.
Maddie Corman, 49, of Harlem, New York, explained how after rehab, couples therapy and much agonizing over ethics and forgiveness, she still remains with her husband Jace Alexander, best known for his work as a director on Law & Order.
In 2016, Alexander, 54, pleaded guilty to two felony counts related to possessing and sharing illegal and obscene performances of sexual conduct by a child under 17.
The director was sentenced to ten years probation and had to register as a sex offender.
Ms Corman said she stayed with her husband because she did not want her children to grow up without a parent.
She told the Times of London: 'I had no interest in having my kids grow up without a parent as long as he was willing to get help and be the best person he could.
'And, again, I'm aware that decision does not sit well with some people. I wish I could tell you that that doesn't upset me, but it does. I don't like having to defend that choice. And I don't love having my kids potentially read that.
'That's really, really painful for me and really not something I ever anticipated. I was proud to be married to who I'm married to. And I'm still proud to be married to him. I am.'
Ms Corman said she never worried about Alexander hurting any of their three children and that she wanted to tell her tough story of staying with her husband.
She created a one-woman play about her ordeal - revealing the couple are still married nearly four years later.
Ms Corman, the star and writer of Accidentally Brave, which opened last month at the DR2 Theater in the city, discovered Alexander's sordid crimes after the father of her three children was arrested three and a half years ago.
She told the Times: 'I did not personally worry that he would or had ever hurt the children. I know that some people think that I am crazy or a monster and that's not been fun to read.
