A jury found a former B.M.C. Durfee High School math teacher not guilty of aggravated rape of a child on Thursday just hours after closing statements.  

Tory Meneses had been accused of having a months-long sexual relationship with a female student, then 14, including having oral, digital and vaginal intercourse. According to testimony, the relationship lasted from May to October 2018 and came to light in 2020.  

During the six-day trial, jurors heard often lurid testimony from faculty and staff in the Fall River Public School system, the student, and Meneses himself, who took the stand in his defense.  

The jury came back after about four hours.
