Stewart Rhodes, leader of the far-right group Oath Keepers was charged late last week with sedition stemming from the Capitol riot. Insider notes his arrest is the most significant one so far and it is the first time federal prosecutors have brought sedition charges in connection to the Justice Department’s ongoing and extensive investigation into the deadly siege, Insider reports.

But there’s one person who’s had a front-row seat to just what a monster Rhodes can be: His estranged wife, Tasha Adams. In an interview with CNN Friday, she described him as a “complete sociopath.”

Her first reaction after hearing he was indicted was one of relief, because, she said “she lived in fear” of him showing up at her home.

“Knowing we were safe and my kids were safe and my kids’ school doesn’t have to worry, that was a relief I didn’t know existed,” she said.

Talking to CNN’s John Berman she said she believed Rhodes was dangerous to her, her family, and the nation.

“He is very dangerous,” she said. “He lives very much in his own head.”

“He sees himself as a great leader. He almost has his own mythology of himself and I think he almost made it come true, seeing himself as some sort of figure in history, and it sort of happened.”

She described him as a person who is cold and unsympathetic.

“He’s a complete sociopath,” Adams said.” He does not feel empathy for anyone around him at all.”

The couple’s divorce has been pending for over three years. Last April, she set up a GoFundMe page asking for $30,000 in donations to fund the divorce.

“Though I can’t talk about the details of my marriage here, I can tell you that it was likely about what you you’re picturing, but probably quite a bit weirder,” Adams wrote on her GoFundMe.

Divorcing him has been difficult, she noted on the page because he is someone who “conducts their own private army.”

Rhoades is an army veteran who founded the Oath Keepers in 2009. The far-right group recruits active members of the active and former military as well as law enforcement officers who must swear an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution. The Southern Poverty Law Center said the group is one of the largest anti-government groups in the U.S., and the group itself claims thousands of members. The SPLC considers the Oath Keepers as an extremist group.

Rhodes’s arrest on Thursday marks the first time federal prosecutors have issued sedition charges in connection with the failed siege at the Capitol.

He claims he was at the Capitol that day but didn’t enter the building, The Washington Post reports.

Adams has been talking to the House Select Committee that’s investigating the attack and she says she’s confident her husband “planned it very carefully.”

His decision not to enter the Capitol was a carefully calculated one so that he wouldn’t be implicated Adams told CNN.

“I see his fingerprints all over it,” she told CNN.

The couple met in Las Vegas and were married in 1994. They have six children, per Buzzfeed News.

Guy sounds like a real prize, doesn’t he? How sad that this woman didn’t realize what she was getting into. Hopefully she will soon be free.
