A Minnesota teacher and his husband were found dead, the result of what's believed to be a murder-suicide, after the couple was investigated for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old.

Aric Babbitt, who taught at St. Paul's Lincoln Center Elementary School, and his husband, Matthew Deyo, were being investigated by authorities after an unnamed teen claimed he had an ongoing sexual relationship with them.

According to court documents from last month, the victim reportedly turned in Polaroid pictures of himself naked with Babbitt.

Babbitt and Deyo allegedly took the minor to a hotel and to Babbitt's cabin for sex and provided him with marijuana and alcohol.

Initially the young man said he had seen Babbitt as a mentor after he came out as gay. According to sources, another student made similar allegations of sexual contact with Babbitt and Deyo.

After police started investigating, Babbitt was placed on administrative leave.

Last week a kayaker in Washington State found the couple's bodies, which showed multiple gunshot wounds. Police later discovered a suicide note.
