Overview

• Kelley identified herself to The Daily Progress as the victim in D. R. Roach’s case and alleged her mother failed to protect her and concealed the abuse.
• Kelley says counselors uncovered the abuse during family sessions and moved to report it to law enforcement, after which Roach was arrested.
• Roach, Judd’s former bodyguard and husband from 2003 to 2007, pleaded guilty to criminal attempt to commit aggravated sexual battery and remains on Tennessee’s sex‑offender registry.
• Judd has not issued a new response in this round of coverage; in a 2010 interview she said she removed Roach from the home immediately and would not discuss details because it was a child’s story to tell.
• Kelley, 29, reports she is sober in Charlottesville after a 2024 plea deal and six weeks in jail, was baptized at a local church, is working on a memoir, and Judd is reported to be raising Kelley's young daughter.
