Wynonna Judd’s Husband Confesses to Being a Child Molester

Associated Press, Rome News-Tribune, William T. Martin

Country singer Wynonna Judd’s husband has admitted to child molestation and is now heading to jail.

Dan Roach, 51, has pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated sexual battery on a child under the age of 13, a representative for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said.

Roach, who was arrested at a rehabilitation facility where Judd was admitted for food addiction a year ago, is being held on $750,000 bond.

He was previously arrested for the same crimes back in March 2007, just five days before then wife Judd filed for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

In a post on her website, Judd said that she filed for divorce from her estranged husband, who was her longtime bodyguard before they married in 2003.

"I am obviously devastated. Our family will pull together, begin the healing process and hopefully — by the Grace of God — become stronger. We will move forward with our faith, family and our friends to find resolution to this difficult situation," Judd said.
