Seekonk Man Accused of Sex with Second Teen

The alleged act happened on a high school campus, an assistant district attorney says.

The Seekonk resident and Taunton High School teacher for allegedly sexting three students and having sex with at least one of them was arrested again Monday for allegedly having sex with a second teen—on the high school campus, according to the Taunton Gazette.

The newspaper reported about the latest arrest off 33-year-old Patrick Doyle:

[Assistant District Attorney Casey] Smith said Doyle and the second victim met in a classroom during a so-called free period and that he "penetrated the child's vagina with his finger." The ADA also alleges Doyle sexted "sexually explicit messages" and "sent a photo of his penis" to the 14-year-old.

Doyle was expected to appear before a judge Tuesday for a dangerousness hearing, which could keep him in custody without bail for up to 90 days. His lawyer told the media last week that the first accuser was a troubled youth who had problems telling the truth.

The Gazette also reported that the Taunton school district was taking steps to fire Doyle.
