BRISTOL, Conn. (WTNH) — The wife of the Bristol man who pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual assault of a young girl in his care for years has pleaded guilty to risk of injury to a child.

Darlene Barriault pleaded guilty Tuesday, more than a month after her husband, Roger Barriault, pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual assault.

The guilty pleas come after News 8's Kathryn Hauser sat down with Crystal, Roger Barriault's alleged victim.

Roger Barriault, 65, was accused of repeatedly raping Crystal "approximately 3,800 to 4,000 times" starting when she was nine, according to a police report. She was impregnated by him at age 12 and was threatened by him. A DNA test by Bristol police proved that Barriault is the father of her daughter.
