A Pennsylvania woman was sentenced to jail on Monday for helping her husband rape two children, after reaching an agreement with the prosecution, which called her acts "disgusting and horrendous."

Holly Greiner, 31, will face a sentence of between 5 to 15 years in prison, in addition to another 15 years of probation, after she admitted her guilt last April on two charges of involuntarily having depraved sexual relations with a minor.

Her guilty plea was part of an agreement with the prosecution, which dropped a charge of rape of a minor in exchange for collaborating in the prosecution of her husband Robert Phillip Greiner, against whom she testified in the trial in which the 29-year-old man years he was sentenced last February to a minimum of 67 years in prison.

"There is no way to minimize how disgusting and horrendous these acts were," the prosecutor in the case, Chuck Murphy, told the local York Dispatch newspaper, who acknowledged that despite her collaboration with the authorities, the woman needed to serve a sentence for his actions.

The couple was arrested last year after a 10-year-old boy reported to West Manheim Township police that the Greiners had sexually abused him and a 5-year-old girl for at least 6 months, according to the newspaper..

After the arrest, Holly Greiner admitted that together with her husband they had forced the victims to carry out sexual acts among themselves and with the couple.

Her testimony in court - despite pressure from her husband not to speak - and that of the two minor victims of the abuse were crucial to ensure the success of the process against Robert Phillip Greiner, Murphy said.

The 5-year-old girl, the prosecutor continued, had a painful reason to get on the witness stand. "He said he didn't want to have any more nightmares," he said.
