July 29 (IBNS) Republican Senator Paul Stanley, the 47-year-old married father of two, was found satisfying his carnal desires with 22-year-old intern McKensie Morrison; the news was revealed in an extortion scheme.

As a result the Senator of Memphis, Tennessee, has quit and he will vacate his state Senate seat on August 10, 2009.

The alleged extortionist was McKensie Morrison’s boyfriend, Joel Palmer Watts.

He is charged with demanding $10,000 from Stanley in return for the nude pictures of his ex-girlfriend.

Joel Palmer Watts (27) allegedly sent a text message to Paul Stanley on April 8, 2009 that read, “Good morning sir, how are you this fine day? McKensie and I have been talking and I feel that I have a video and some pictures you might be interested in seeing. This is her boyfriend, that guy you met outside Walgreens.”

According to the affidavit in the extortion case, Joel Watts was in a relationship with McKensie Morrison, when he discovered that she had been in a sexual relationship with Paul Stanley. Joel Watts then discovered a computer memory disk that had explicit photos, including some nude ones, of McKensie Morrison.

Stanley admitted he had a sexual relationship with Morrison and took pictures of her in various states of undress, according to affidavits and testimony from a TBI agent.

The photos were taken in an apartment, and appeared to be Paul Stanley’s apartment. Watts sent the first text message to Stanley on April 8, 2009, and demanded $10,000 in exchange for the photos. Watts threatened Stanley that if he did not receive the $10,000, he would hand the photos over to the media. Paul Stanley responded by contacting the TBI for help.

Working with TBI, Paul Stanley arranged to meet Watts on April 9, 2009. The meeting took place at a Mexican restaurant, Ray Azteca, in Whites Creek, Tennessee. The exchange took place and TBI agents took Watts into custody.

Morrison was a straight-A student at Austin Peay State University who also demonstrated a risk-taking side through skydiving and motorcycles, according to her internship application and court documents obtained by a news agency. She also has a husband serving prison in Florida.

At age 18, Morrison entered into an ill-fated marriage. Less than a month after their 2005 marriage, husband Randy Mueller was arrested on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He’s currently serving a seven-year sentence.
