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.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
