Sketchy Gossipy Celebrity Crime Item of the Evening: Wynona Judd's
ex-Husband Confesses to Child Molestation
Posted at 11:29 PM Oct 30, 2008
Dan Roach, age 51 was popped for child molestation charges over a year
ago, in March, 2007. His case probably wouldn't have been all that
notable were it not for the fact that at the time he was married to
Wynonna Judd.
After Dan's arrest, many jokes about classic subjects for country
songs were made, and Wynonna filed for divorce.
Tonight it is being reported that Dan Roach has not only confessed to
being a molester, he has pleaded guilty to a pair of felony charges of
attempted aggravated sexual battery on a minor.
ContactMusic.com's source for this info is the "American tabloid the
Globe," so I decided to just check a more straightforward source to
see for myself just what was up with old Dan Roach.
Turns out it's all true. A search of the inmate database for the
Davidson County Sheriff's Detention Facility reveals a record for one
Dan Robert Roach, age 51. Roach has been convicted of "aggravated
sexual battery" of a person under thirteen. His conviction date was
October 16, 2008. His sentence began on October 27. Roach was admitted
to the Davidson County facility on October 21.
Roach was sentenced to 10 years in jail, but he will only serve 90
days behind bars -- his projected release date will be in January of
next year. After his release he will have to register as a sex
offender, and any violation of probation will put Roach back inside
for the full 10.
Before it all crashed down around him, Dan Roach was Wynonna's
bodyguard. Then he became her road manager. The pair wed in 2003.
Their wedding reception was attended by the likes of Oprah, Bono,
Larry King and Garth Brooks.
It's only been 5 years, but it's certainly a long fall from hobnobbing
with Bono and Oprah at your wedding to being another middle-aged white
male in pod G-G1 at the medium security Metro Davidson County
Detention Facility.
