The wife of a former high school assistant football coach in Tennessee who pleaded guilty to having sex with a 16-year-old player insists she\u2019s no rapist, claiming the illicit trysts were entirely consensual.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Kelsey McCarter, 29, pleaded guilty last year to six counts of statutory rape involving the 16-year-old sophomore player at South-Doyle High, where her husband, Justin McCarter, had worked as the school\u2019s assistant football coach. She remains behind bars after agreeing to a three-year prison term, of which she needs to serve 30 percent before being released, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.<\/p>\n

But McCarter now wants a judge to toss out the teen\u2019s lawsuit, which claims McCarter repeatedly molested him after he moved in with her and her husband \u2014 along with his older brother \u2014 with permission from their mother in July 2014 as they were having \u201cdomestic issues\u201d with their single mother, court records show. The age of consent in Tennessee is 18.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The boy] claims that he suffered injury from the repeated \u2018sexual abuse\u2019 by Ms. McCarter,\u201d her attorney, Doug Trant, wrote in a motion obtained by the newspaper. \u201cHowever, the complaint is replete with factual allegations allowing the conclusion that [he] was a willing participant in numerous sexual encounters with Ms. McCarter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Justin McCarter later told both boys to leave the couple\u2019s home in August 2015 and has denied in a motion to dismiss filed by attorney Julia Anna Trant that the move had anything to do his wife\u2019s infidelity with the teen, saying he was unaware of the ongoing sexual relationship.<\/p>\n

But Kelsey McCarter kept the unlawful liaison going well after he moved back home with his mother, and later convinced Justin McCarter to allow him to move back into the couple\u2019s home in October 2015. The teen posted a nude photo of Kelsey McCarter on social media a few months later, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

The photo led someone to alert school officials and McCarter was later indicted. Her husband, meanwhile, resigned his position as assistant football coach at the high school.<\/p>\n

The teen later sued the McCarters, as well as the school system for failing to notify authorities. But now McCarter is asking a judge via her attorney to throw out the lawsuit. A hearing initially scheduled for Monday in the case has since been rescheduled for Dec. 20, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

The teen, according to McCarter\u2019s attorney, was not a victim of sexual abuse and therefore isn\u2019t entitled to damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy [the boy\u2019s] own admission in the complaint, he continued to \u2018submit\u2019 to the sexual contacts with Ms. McCarter because he wanted to return to live with the McCarters,\u201d Doug Trant wrote. \u201cBy his own admission in the complaint [the boy] desired and maintained a sexual relationship with Ms. McCarter in order to derive a personal benefit \u2014 initially to extend his stay at the McCarters\u2019 residence and then to ensure his return therein.\u201d<\/p>\n
