A former volunteer youth football coach in Greene County was in court Tuesday. 44 year old Myranda Stevens plead guilty to five counts of aggravated statutory rape in a case involving her inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old boy. According to investigators, while Stevens was a volunteer coach with the Greeneville/Greene County Youth Football Association in August and September of 2022, she developed an intimate relationship with one of the juvenile football players.
