An attorney tasked by Duxbury Public Schools with investigating sexual assault allegations against a former hockey coach said she was left with “serious concerns” about his credibility, particularly when he was asked about his relationship with the middle-school-aged student in question, as well as about a sexual relationship with another teacher.
The report, a copy of which was obtained by
The Boston Globe, alleges that John Blake didn’t tell the truth when it came to discussing a sexual relationship with another teacher, and when he said he didn’t remember the student he was accused of raping.

Duxbury Public Schools has formally declared it should not be held civilly responsible for the emotional trauma suffered by former student Parker Foley when he was allegedly sexually assaulted by former Duxbury Middle School gym teacher John Blake in the mid-2000s.
