Mother sentenced to 7 years in incest case

A US woman whose husband fathered four babies with one of the couple's daughters has been sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to child endangerment and hindering prosecution of a felony.

Prosecutors say the woman knew about the abuse but didn't stop it.

Her husband was sentenced last June to life in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder and abandonment of a corpse.

Three of the four children the man had with his daughter died, including one whose body was found in a shallow grave in eastern Oklahoma where the family apparently lived for a short time.

The murder charge stemmed from the death of a child who died after falling ill.

The Associated Press is not identifying the parents to protect the victims' identities.
