SPRINGFIELD — A former middle school teacher accused of sexually assaulting two of his students scored a win Thursday, after a judge allowed a motion to suppress much of the evidence in the case.
Robert Gayle, a former teacher at STEM Middle Academy on Alton Street in Springfield, stands accused of raping two students, one of whom said he repeatedly assaulted her in a closet.
Hampden Superior Court Judge Tracy Duncan allowed a motion to suppress evidence recovered from Gayle’s home and electronic devices. Duncan found that there was not probable cause for one search, and that negated subsequent ones.
