LAWRENCE — The Central Catholic dean of students and basketball coach who was suspended for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to a former student has resigned, according a letter sent to the school community on Friday, the Eagle-Tribune reports.
Richard Nault, 45, was placed on adminstrative leave about a week ago amid allegations allegedly he sent inappropriate messages on Snapchat.
Nault has resigned from his position, effective April 26, according to the letter from Central Catholic President Christopher Sullivan.
Nault’s resignation comes in the wake of the school firing Andrew Nikonchuk, assistant principal for curriculum and instruction, following allegations that he had drugged and raped a former male student off campus in Lowell in 2006.
