Wynonna Judd Asks “Why?”

Country legend Wynonna Judd is never far from drama.  This time it involves her estranged husband Dan Roach.  Roach, 49, was arrested on Thursday in Abilene, Texas on charges of aggravated sexual battery against a child under the age of 13, according to Nashville Police.

Amid the controversy, and a shaky marriage nonetheless, Judd decided to file for divorce from the creep.  Roach will be extradited from Texas back to Tennessee to face the charges, which have been investigated since February.

"I am obviously devastated,” Judd said in a statement posted on her Web site. “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 cited irreconcilable differences as her reason for divorcing Roach.  The two have been married since November 2003, and separated since February 18th.  Judd and her soon-to-be ex husband have no children together, however Judd has children from a previous marriage.

Roach, meanwhile, had been receiving treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at rehabilitation clinic in Buffalo Gap, Texas, shortly after they separated, Judd said.

Judd, 42, has sold nearly 30 million albums as a solo artist and as half of the mother-daughter duo, The Judds. Her solo hits include “No One Else on Earth” and “I Saw the Light.” Her sister is actress Ashley Judd.
