Teacher remains free on bail

NASHUA- A former Timberlane Regional High School teacher remains free on bail while facing accusations that he raped a 16-year-old student in Hudson.

Kevin Goddu, 45, of 402 Wellman Ave., Chelmsford, Mass., waived arraignment Thursday on 14 counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault.

Police charge he raped a 16-year-old Plaistow girl, a former student, in Hudson on Feb. 27. Goddu had taught social studies for 12 years at Timberlane but resigned as a result of the allegations against him.

Some of the charges against him allege he used his authority as a teacher to coerce the girl into sex, while others allege he held her down and struck her. Each charge carries up to 10 to 20 years in prison.

Goddu has been free on $25,000 bail since his arrest.
