RI Man Indicted After Accusations of Stalking Mansfield Teacher

MANSFIELD, MA — A Rhode Island man accused of stalking a Mansfield middle school teacher by breaking into two schools and placing a GPS tracker on her car was indicted in Fall River Superior Court Friday. Tu C. Le, 43, of Woonsocket, had pleaded not guilty to stalking, four counts of breaking and entering, and trespassing. The case was originally heard in Attleboro District Court, but the case has since been transferred to superior court, where Le can face a longer sentence if convicted, the Sun Chronicle reported.

According to police, Le dated the Qualters Middle School teacher for about a year before she ended the relationship. The teacher told police Le was too controlling and would show up uninvited when she was out with friends or on dates with other men, Police said the teacher became suspicious and found a GPS tracker on her car.

Le was arrested April 6 after police said they saw him following the woman and putting a GPS tracker on her car at the Red Roof Inn in Mansfield. Police said Le had two other GPS trackers with him. According to police, Le also tried following the woman by breaking into Qualters Middle School and Mansfield High School after school hours.

Le was held without bail for most of April until a Fall River Superior Court judge ordered his release, arguing prosecutors failed to prove that jail was the only way to ensure the safety of the public. The conditions of Le's release require he receive mental health counseling and stay away from his ex-girlfriend.
