A former teacher at the Franklin
County school will be retried on charges of sexual misconduct with a
student after a local jury was unable to reach a verdict in his first
trial last week.
31 year old Gerald Tate worked as a
high school teacher and assistant football coach when he was arrested
in September, 2014 and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation
of a female student.
It was alleged that during the last
week of school in May, 2014 Mr. Tate sexually molested a child and
threatened that there would be consequences if anyone was told about
it.
Based on the student accounts FDLE
Crime Scene technicians were called in and examined a specific room
for evidence where they found samples that tested positive for
semen.
Tate's first trial ended September 23rd
with a mistrial.
A new trial is scheduled to begin on
October 13th.
