A Duxbury gym teacher accused of raping a student has been fired as police investigate more than a dozen anonymous tips related to the case, according to news outlets.
A lawsuit was filed last week against the school district and Duxbury Middle School physical education teacher John Blake by the parents of Parker Foley, who attended Duxbury Public Schools until he left the district in 9th grade. Foley died of a drug overdose last year at age 27, according to The Associated Press.

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.
