Report: Clemens Had 10 Year Affair

<div>According to this morning's Daily News edition, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/04/27/2008-04-27_sources_roger_clemens_had_10year_fling_w.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Roger Clemens</span> held a ten year affair</a> with then 15 year-old country singer <span style="font-weight:bold;">Mindy McCready</span>. Clemens was 28, married and a father at the time of the alleged affair.<br /><br />Is this the worst calendar year of all time for a celebrity/entertainer? Rocket's getting into hall of shame territory:<br /><blockquote><p>Roger Clemens carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old Red Sox ace and married father of two, several sources have told the Daily News. </p> <p>The revelations could torpedo claims of an unsullied character that are central to the defamation suit Clemens filed Jan. 6 against his former personal trainer Brian McNamee. Vivid details of the affair could surface in several media projects that McCready is involved with - including a documentary that begins filming today in Nashville, a new album and a reality show. </p> <p>...Contacted by the Daily News Sunday through his lawyer Rusty Hardin, Clemens confirmed a long-term relationship but denied that it was of a sexual nature. </p> <p>“He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her.”</p></blockquote>What's the statute of limitations on statutory rape, I wonder.<br /></div>
