High School Football Coach’s Wife Has Sex With Player, Administrators Remain On PAID Leave

The fact an adult overstepped boundaries with an underage teen may not be the worst thing that happened in this case. Maybe we need to rethink our priorities in these circumstances and then perhaps these circumstances would happen less often? Maybe a little more accountability? Just a thought.

Ya gotta love the dedication and devotion for high school football in Tennessee. Every effort is being made to preserve the program in light of a sex scandal involving the 26 year old coach’s wife and an underage player. The wife and coach are out, but the administrators who oversaw the program are on PAID leave pending…

Kelsey McCarter, 26, allegedly had sex with a high school football player. Her husband, Justin McCarter, who coached football at South-Doyle High School, resigned his position earlier this year after allegations emerged. Affair also led to investigation into school’s principal and football coach. Kelsey McCarter faces multiple charges including six counts of statutory rape by an authority figure. McCarter was released on $30,000 bond and awaits arraignment.

The wife of a former Tennessee high school assistant football coach allegedly had sex with an underage player on the school’s football team, according to police.

Kelsey McCarter, 26, was charged with six counts of statutory rape by an authority figure and one count of exploitation of a minor by electronic means, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.

The sexual encounters with the sophomore football player took place between February 2015, and December 2015.

Her husband, Justin McCarter, who coached at South-Doyle High School, resigned earlier this year from his position.

South Doyle students told Local 8 News that they saw sexual pictures of the wife and a student who was living with McCarter and her husband at the time.

The sex allegations led to an investigation into the school’s principal, Tim Berry and football coach Clark Duncan, who were suspended in February.

Both men were under investigation for failure to immediately report the allegations of child sexual abuse to the state Department of Children’s Services or law enforcement, according to the News Sentinel.

But neither Berry, Duncan or Justin McCarter were charged in the case.

Duncan and Berry, who has been with the school since 2011, remain on administrative leave with pay, and their status with Knox County Schools is under review, the district’s spokeswoman Melissa Tindell told the News Sentinel.

Duncan, who also serves as the athletic director at the school and head football coach, has been with the school system since August 1981.

His attorney Jeff Hagood, said he would be ‘very disappointed’ and ‘surprised’ if Duncan did not return.

Hagood told the News Sentinel that he was ‘not surprised’ but instead ‘pleased and excited for coach Duncan and his future’, after the judge ruled that no charges would be filed against him

He added that Duncan ‘is and has been one of the most respected high school coaches in our state and a leader in our community’.

Kelsey McCarter was released on $30,000 bond early Friday and is awaiting arraignment in Knox County Criminal Court.
