OBION COUNTY, TN — (snip)Last month, 48-year-old Mary Beth McManus was arrested and charged with three counts of statutorily raping a 16-year-old student in 2012.
On Tuesday, McManus filed a lawsuit against her accuser who is now an adult, and the accuser’s girlfriend.
The lawsuit says the student was a junior in 2011 at Obion County Central High School and taking McManus’ Spanish class.
During that time, the suit says, McManus learned that the student’s parents had passed away and she was now living with her adult brother. The student told McManus that her brother treated her badly and that she was unhappy living in his home.
In May 2012, the student was allowed to move in with McManus and her family.
The suit says the student then graduated high school and, with financial help from the McManus family, was able to attend Middle Tennessee State University. The student graduated with an undergraduate degree in biology, and decided to remain at Middle Tennessee State University to pursue a master’s degree in biology. The McManuses continued to financially support the student as she continued her education.
Sometime shortly before April 2018, the suit says, the student began dating a woman, who moved from Alabama into the student’s apartment.
During the same time period, the suit says McManus told the student she would end her financial assistance after the student graduated with her master’s degree.
Then, in early 2019, the student and her girlfriend allegedly told McManus they would fabricate a statutory rape accusation against her if the family did not continue to provide the student with financial assistance.
The lawsuit says the student and her girlfriend recorded McManus and then manipulated those recordings to make it sound like McManus was confessing to a sexual relationship with the student.

No good deed...
False accusations need to be punished with the sentence that the actual crime carries.
There is also the matter of extortion here.
Hi.
Discovery should be fun.
5.56mm
Stupid.
This was a lesbian extortion attempt
Dang
Well the teacher is just LGBLT-phobic.
Uuuuh . . . wellll . . . UUHmmmmm . . .
It’s not a phobia if they really are out to get you.
“In May 2012, the student was allowed to move in with McManus and her family.”
“Stupid”
I beg to differ. An act of kindness towards another always involves a certain level of risk. In this case, the risk was a rejection of kindness, a turning away from love toward an embrace of evil. The young student has chosen poorly, God is saddened and Satan approves.
It seems to be that ex-student had a common law marriage (if you want to call it that) from ex-teacher so long as ex-teacher was being sugar mama.
So now that ex-student wants to dump her for another partner, it seems to me that ex-teacher would at least have a claim against her for the educational expenses furnished.
Don't we do something like that if a man dumps a woman after she puts him through college . . . and more?
Stupid good deed. Teacher should have directed the girl to the school counselor.
Two lesbian’s trying to scam an innocent woman? Yeah, that’s never happened before.
Not enough info, need pictures.
Prolly not if things are as they usually are in these kinds of "relationships".
Once inna while, the bull will smile and all... d;^)
Unusual name... McAnus...
No good deed goes unpunished..
The suit seeks $3 million in damages, saying the women’s actions cost McManus her job, damaged her reputation and resulted in public humiliation and emotional distress — in addition to the criminal charges she faces.
Just remember that victims “need to be believed “
This.
Exactly.
Sadly, that is so true.
These days, it seems that you just can’t trust anyone.
Helping once is help.
More than once becomes enabling.
The teacher crossed an boundary of separation that always must been maintained between student and teach. That was what was stupid. The only option to help was not to have the student move in with them. That was really stupid.
