So basically, I went to a tennis game and was acting like an idiot with my friends. The tennis coach started yelling at me and telling me I was drunk (which I was not) and I yelled back "ooh, burn" and then I drove home and listened to my answering machine and he had left a message for my parents. The message was like "Hi Mr. and Mrs. "G". I just saw your daughter and she was acting like she was drunk or high, or on something. There's no doubt in my mind that she was on something. Please call me back."
Of course, I erased the message and had my friend pretend to be my mom and call him back. After she talked to him and introduced herself as my mom, he was like "This isn't Kelsey's mom" and he hung up. I called him back about 4 more times and every time he hung up. All I was trying to do was ask him why he left such a rude message on my machine. The last time I called, I asked him why he left such a rude message for my parents. I was simply trying to have a mature conversation, and he was like "I just recorded that. Stop calling me." and he hung up.
Now, my dean at school has suspended me from school because they're trying to "investigate". He told me he had listened to the phone conversation and he's wondering why I was harassing a teacher...I had no idea the guy was a teacher. My dean said that this tennis coach wants to charge me with harassment.
My question is, how can someone charge me with harassment if they called my house first, and they recorded my phone conversation without my consent? I'm also a minor, and you need a minor's parent's consent to record their voice on the phone, right?
