Mrs. Massey is the mother of two sons, one named Shawn, as well as the new wife of the pedophilic dentist Walt Massey.
History[]
Their family was destitute after she was getting out of an abusive marriage, with her ex-husband attempting to kill her and ending up in jail.
After living in a shelter for an extended period of time, she put out an ad in the paper that was answered by Walt Massey, a seemingly kind dentist. They married and her family moved into Walt's home and Mrs. Massey was financially comfortable with her sons. Unbeknownst to her, Walt was really a pedophile and climbed into Shawn's bed to sexually abuse him one night, continuing to rape and molest him regularly. Shawn kept quiet fearing for his family's lifestyle, as well as being too scared by Walt's veiled threats.

When Walt's involvement in a child sex tourism ring was unveiled, as well as his guilt in murdering fellow pedophile Bret Jansen, Mrs. Massey denied that her husband was a murderer. She was then questioned about their daily lives and Walt's relationship with the family. She revealed that she and Walt have a good marriage in spite of his lack of affection to her. She also stated that he is close to her sons before being asked if he is particularly close to one, to which she reveals Shawn got special interest from Walt. This statement leads to her to realize Walt was doing something.
Shawn was questioned at the station, where he revealed the sexual abuse, with his mother listening through the interrogation window. The more details she heard, the worse she cried in grief for her son.
When Walt was brought in, she held her son tightly while looking disgusted and upset at her husband. After he was interrogated, he gave a full confession before being arrested and convicted for the crimes. (SVU: "Angels")
