A transgender high school tennis coach in Pennsylvania has resigned after pornographic videos surfaced allegedly showing her smoking meth while having sex.
Gettysburg Area High School tennis coach Sasha Yates left her position on September 30 citing ‘ongoing health reasons,’ according to the Gettysburg Times.
However, school board member Michelle Smyers told Daily Wire she received disturbing videos of the coach the night before she resigned from her post.
In one shocking video seen by the outlet, Yates allegedly appeared to be smoking meth from a pipe and asking a woman: ‘Am I a good meth w***e?’
Another disturbing video is said to have shown Yates bent over a counter wearing a black bra and having sex with a man wearing a ski mask.

While it is unclear how the alleged salacious video of the trans coach leaked, the rumors have rattled the school community in Pennsylvania.
Michelle Smyers told the outlet: ‘I had absolutely nothing to do with the information that was sent to me. I do not know for certain who it came from or why it was sent to me.
‘But the information has been confirmed and the resignation tendered by the coach was appropriate for the situation.’
The board member described the drama surrounding Yates’ previous conduct and employment as a ‘circus,’ and said that her termination at the school will be a positive outcome for many.
Smyers said the contents of the alleged pornographic video showed that the girls and boys’ tennis coach was clearly undergoing ‘some type of mental distress.’
She added: ‘After the circus that ensued last fall, bokep chindo I’m sure many may think I’m happy about this turn of events.
‘But let me say, after viewing the contents of the email, what I am acutely aware of is that there is another human being who is obviously in some type of mental distress, and I can only hope that he can get the help he needs to overcome the challenges he is facing.’

Yates had been subject to a school board vote on her contract last year after an incident in the fall of 2022, when the coach changed clothes in the girls’ locker room and allegedly asked students about menstrual cycles and preferred underwear.
The principal of Gettysburg Area High School, Jeremy Lusk, sent a letter to Yates about concerns raised with the administration about professional boundaries.
Before the vote, Smyers obtained right-wing law firm America First Legal to send a letter to the district asking to see records related to Yates.
Attorney Chris Harris of Stock & Leader – a law firm that represents the school district – said he would conduct an investigation of Yates conduct, but according to Smyers he did not speak to any of the students who complained.
In June 2024, the school’s attorney Harris was charged with felony counts of child pornography, disseminating child pornography and criminal use of a communications facility, reported the York Daily Record.
Ultimately, the school board voted 6 to 2 on September 5, 2023 to renew Yates contract for the year.
This August, the school board approved her contract again in a 5 to 3 vote after the motion deadlocked three previous times.
When she resigned Yates said: ‘There was no undue pressure or malicious forethought from anyone within the school district, be that board members, administrators, or staff, to leave.’
‘I have enjoyed my six years as head coach for the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams and wish them continued success in the future.’
