The pair cannot be named for legal reasons.
The man, aged in his 30s, pleaded guilty in Bega Local Court on Tuesday, March 26 to six counts of aggravated indecent assault of a victim under his authority.
The assaults occurred between February and April last year.
The woman, also aged in her 30s, has pleaded not guilty to concealing a serious indictable offence of another person.
Court documents reveal the mother allegedly failed to notify authorities about three offences in April last year, and allegedly concealed information which police say would have led to her husband's arrest.
Magistrate David O'Connor adjourned the man's matter to Bega Local Court on May 28 and the woman will again face court on April 23.
