Former Oliver Middle School teacher found not guilty of sexually assaulting a student

NASHVILLE, Tenn (WTVF) — Former Oliver Middle School teacher Nicholas Keel was found not guilty this week of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy.

The former Metro Nashville Public Schools teacher has maintained his innocence since his arrest in early 2022.

The case finally went to trial this month. It took a jury less than an hour to acquit him of all charges.

Keel was originally accused of fondling a middle school boy on Labor Day in 2021.

On 150-year anniversary, YMCA of Middle Tennessee looks at its past and future

Happy Birthday to the YMCA of Middle TN. They just celebrated their 150th anniversary! A lot has changed with the Y over the years. I have personally seen some of that firsthand when I was a long-time board member at the Northwest Family Y and part of their Black Achievers Program. Forrest Sanders has a look back.
