The 62-year-old, from Sunderland, knew her husband Andrew, now dead, was responsible for a series of sickening attacks on children in the 1970s and 80s, but did nothing to stop him and made no attempt to report what she knew.
The revelations came to light after Jeffrey was called to give evidence in an ongoing murder trial.
Called to appear at Newcastle Crown Court against one of the defendants, regarding a prison conversation the pair are alleged to have had, Jeffrey was then quizzed on her relationship with West.
Joanna Greenberg QC asked Jeffrey: “Your new best friend is Rose West, is it not?”
Jeffrey replied: “No, she cleans the floor outside, she speaks to me, she speaks to everyone in there.”
Miss Greenberg said: “The prison service are concerned and made a report about your new friendship with Rose West?”
Jeffrey said: “I don’t know.”
Miss Greenberg said: “May I suggest you have something in common, given your ill treatment of children?”
Jeffrey replied: “No.”
