The Duxbury schools superintendent said Wednesday that administrators have been on âhigh alertâ for years regarding a physical education teacher who was put on administrative leave in November after a Duxbury couple alleged the teacher sexually assaulted their son in the mid-2000s.
That teacher was named in a 14-page civil complaint filed by a lawyer for Duxbury residents Joseph and Melissa Foley, who allege that gym teacher John Blake repeatedly raped their son Parker Foley inside Duxbury Middle School, creating a life of torment that ended when the 27-year-old died of a drug overdose last fall.
The parents of a Duxbury man who died of a drug overdose last year have sued their son’s middle school gym teacher who they allege repeatedly raped him.
