A former Calhoun High school student accused of rape has filed lawsuit against a woman that accused him and two others of the act. Fields Chapman, along with his parents, Kent and Julie Chapman, deny all allegations that the teen was raped at an after prom party on May 10, 2014 at cabin in Gilmer County.
The Chapman’s also claim that the plaintiff’s complaint seeking punitive damages “violates the defendants’ rights to protection from excessive fines as provided in the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph XVII of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.”
The Chapman’s claim that the Plaintiff had Fields on a “wish list” of guys she wanted to have sexual relations with, and that he was a target of her sexual desires.
The counterclaim by the Chapman’s also said that the plaintiff has a history of prom sexual relations by saying that she had sexual relations with two different boys during a 2012 prom. The claim alleges that she had sexual relations with her date in a limousine with eight others present.
The Chapman’s also allege that the woman “comes from a family of women who have on multiple occasions raised unfounded allegations of rape and sexual assault in hopes of monetary gains.”
They added that during the night in question, the plaintiff did a strip tease in front of numerous people. They said that the teens started drinking alcohol and playing alcohol related games when the plaintiff began to “flirt, kiss, hug, fondle and grope multiple males in the cabin party.”
Documents said that at one point the plaintiff and another defendant Avery Johnson, who was named in the original lawsuit, “had sex upstairs in a cabin loft where everyone could observe.”
Chapman and Andrew Haynes, another defendant named in the civil lawsuit, went upstairs, where the plaintiff had consensual sexual contact with both.
Documents added that the plaintiff stayed at the cabin overnight and left the following morning with Andrew Haynes, despite having the possibility of rides with others. They argue that the plaintiff never made a statement of any type of sexual assault to anyone that morning.
The suit went on to claim that close to two weeks after the party, the plaintiff attended a concert with Fields Chapman and during the event she got intoxicated and again had sexual relations with Chapman.
The Chapman’s are seeking damages in an amount to be determined by a jury on counts of fraud, defamation, extortion, intentional infliction of emotional distress, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and expenses.
