Overview

  • Kelley publicly identified herself as the victim in an interview published by The Daily Progress, with multiple outlets reporting her account this week.
  • She says the abuse surfaced during family counseling and claims the counselors said they would notify law enforcement.
  • Kelley alleges Judd sought to keep the situation quiet and only ended the marriage after Roach’s arrest became public.
  • Roach remains listed as an offender against children on the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry.
