A child molestation accusation led one woman to slit her husband's throat, and both of them are facing charges.
Portland police arrested Michelle McClain in December and charged her with aggravated assault.
Her husband, Joe McClain was arrested on Friday on suspicion of sodomy and sexual abuse of a child.
Relatives said he molested a now 10-year-old girl for two years and that his alleged victim kept quiet because McClain threatened to kill her family.
Michelle McClain's mother, Denis Wells, said every time the abuse was reported, the girl would deny the allegations to social workers because she was afraid of being taken away from her family.
Wells said her daughter snapped when she found child pornography on her husband's computer and slit her husband's throat.
It was about this time that the girl opened up about the accusations to social workers, said Wells.

The husband and his sentencing......

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl will go to prison for more than six years.
That's the sentence handed down Thursday for Joe McClain in a Portland courtroom.
The sexual abuse took place over a period of two years, ending when the girl was about 8 years old.
McClain pleaded guilty to one count each of first-degree sexual abuse and sodomy.
McClain came to court to accept the plea deal the prosecution offered. He had been arrested early this year after his wife accused him of the sex abuse.
Michelle McClain was not in court Thursday. She was serving a year and a day in state prison for assault.
Michelle McClain tried to cut her husband's throat after learning about the sexual abuse of the child. The now 10-year-old girl may carry a deeper scar.
Joe McClain stood and listened to the judge pronounce the Measure 11 sentence: six years, three months in prison plus a 10-year post-prison supervision and registration as a sex offender.
He will serve less than six years now, because he's already been in jail five months since his arrest. Michelle McClain is scheduled to be out of prison in October.

Under most circumstances, the 'snapped' defense just pisses me off...but this time I can honestly say that this woman was justified in her snapping! And her jail sentence...a year and a day?? WTH? What's with the extra day? Lady...you should have used a bigger, maybe sharper, knife. Looks like there is lots of gristle in that fat fuckin neck.....
