A Duxbury
middle school physical education teacher accused of raping a student has been fired as police investigate more than a dozen anonymous tips related to the case, school officials said Tuesday.
John Blake, the varsity boys hockey coach at
Duxbury High School for nearly two decades, was placed on administrative leave in November after a couple alleged that he sexually assaulted their middle school
son in the mid-2000s. The couple, Joseph and Melissa Foley, filed a lawsuit against Blake and the Duxbury school system last week.
