Sara Evans Cites Adultery and Porn in Divorce Petition

Country singer and TV dance star Sara Evans is claiming that her husband of thirteen years is an adulterer, addicted to porn, occasionally combines the two.

Country singer Sara Evans alleges in divorce papers that her husband committed adultery, was verbally and emotionally abusive, drank excessively and frequently watched pornography in their home. Evans, 35, filed for divorce Thursday from Craig Schelske and announced through a spokesman that she was quitting ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” “to give her family full attention at this difficult time.” The couple married in 1993 and have three children ages 7, 3 and 2.

Schelske, 43 and currently unemployed, ran for Congress as a Republican from Oregon’s 5th District in 2002. He is a native of Salem, Ore.

Schelske denied all of the allegations in statement issued Friday night. “I have made the decision to forgive Sara for the unfortunate campaign that she and her publicity advisors are currently waging,” he said in the statement. “Sara has unfortunately become a dramatically different person over the last year and it is something we have struggled to deal with. Sadly, it appears we have failed.”

In the filing in state court in suburban Franklin, where the couple has a home, Evans alleges that Schelske watched pornography on the couples’ computers and has at least 100 nude photographs of himself in a state of arousal. She also alleges that several photographs show Schelske having sex with other women.

According to the court documents, the oldest of the couple’s children confronted Schelske when he was watching pornographic material on the television in their home.

That’s very disturbing. And just think, he might have become a Republican congressman!
