Former Main Line Coach Admits To 'You're So Hot' Texts to Teen

Charles Meredith, 54, a former Country Day School of the Sacred Heart coach, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court Wednesday.

A former Country Day School of the Sacred Heart tennis coach says he’s guilty of sending suggestive texts to a teen girl two years ago.

Charles Meredith, 54, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court Wednesday to the corruption charges, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Meredith was accused of sending sexually-inappropriate texts to a 15-year-old girl when he was a tennis coach at the all-girls school in Bryn Mawr.

He allegedly texted the girl messages such as “you’re so hot” and offers to purchase her alcohol, according to police. Meredith also reportedly texted the teen victim during an end-of-season dinner telling her she looked “hot” and that he wanted her to be his “dessert,” according to an arrest affidavit.

Meredith was also accused of allegedly kissing the girl after driving her to a nearby gym. He then told her not to tell anyone.

He was fired from the school in 2013, shortly after the allegations surfaced.

The investigation began after the girl alerted her mother about the texts from her coach. Authorities involved in the investigation included police from Radnor, Lower Merion and Plymouth townships.

Meredith will be sentenced later this year, the Inquirer said.
