Richard Jacobs

"Did she get too old for you?" "No!"

Richard Jacobs is the husband of abductor and attempted murderer Susan Jacobs and a closet pedophile.

Background
Some time before Seven Seconds, he married Susan and had a son with her, all the while living what could be considered a perfect suburban lifestyle. However, despite all of this, it is revealed he is a pedophile and started to sexually abuse his niece Katie, as well as buying her an expensive necklace. This later led to his family falling apart and he was forced to move out, although he put up a front that he and Susan were still happily married.

Seven Seconds
Soon after Katie went missing, the BAU were able to read signs that Katie was being abused. Noticing how Richard could remember the tiniest detail about Katie's likes and dislikes, but oblivious to his own son (which is a classic Pedophile pathology, focusing all their attention on their victim to the point they neglect their own children), the BAU were able to quickly deduce that Richard was the abuser and assumed he was the one who abducted Katie.

Despite denying such actions, the BAU were able to trick him into admitting by asking if she got too old for him, which he quickly answered "No". Despite this, he still stuck with his story that he did not kidnap her. It was then Prentiss, remembering that Susan came here to buy a lighter for his birthday, that Richard has yet taken a smoke, revealing that he quit last month. With this as well as remembering how the necklace was ripped off, led the team to realize that Susan was the Unsub. It is suggested that he was completely unaware that his wife did anything to Katie

He is last seen with his wife being placed in a police car, and is presumably incarcerated for his crimes.
