Anchor's Husband's Infidelity Leads to NY News Catfight

Today in New York anchor Darlene Rodriguez was in no mood to take personal questions as she left the courtroom where her husband, a former Weschester police officer, pleaded guilty to official misconduct for using his status to have sex with a 17-year-old girl. After being asked by WABC reporter Michelle Charlesworth if her husband had apologized for his infidelity, Rodriguez allegedly tracked down Charlesworth's number and demanded an apology, telling her she was out of line. Charlesworth shot back to Rodriguez that "your anger is misplaced." The NY Post reports that a police source told them that the veteran cop's behavior was not an isolated incident, calling him "a known Lothario." David Rodriguez was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge and ordered to stay away from the victim for five years.

Once you've been branded as a "known lothario", your life is literally in tatters: You have to live in basement apartments, do your shopping at night, and confine your 17 yr old girl preying to Tompkins Square runaway crusties.

that husband is not only really UGLY but a dickhead, if she stays with such an ass it speaks more of her than him.

EEW.

pervert, and his wife should be off the tube. I can't stand stupid women. She is supporting a pedophile. I hope they register him as a sex offender.

Her husband fucked a minor. He broke the law. If an average citizen did that they would be in jail. He is a cop who abused his authority-throw him in jail. She is just a moron for sticking with this caveman..

Yet another case of bad cop at work. As if we haven't seen enough these last few weeks.

I can not believe (most of) you people are disparaging Darlene Rodriguez and making her the criminal. WTF is wrong with you? The guy is a louse, a pig. She was underage, he committed a crime, he should legitimately be incarcerated and take it up the wazoo for what he did. Do any of you losers have a teenage daughter? Are you all such big fans of men who cheat in the context of marriage? I suppose you love Alex the Pig Rodriguez for what he did to his wife? And yet he still makes millions playing basball. What crap. Figgin' losers, all of you.
