It is tragic, just cause the case was dropped, don't know if the guy did nothing, maybe they just didn't have evidence.
I have a relative with the problems this guy had and often they are horny people who don't in their thinking go A-B-C-D. They may go A-C-D-B, get all agitated easily and creep out lots of women as they stare inappropriately at them in almost stalking like fashion.
I've seen it in action, you can talk to them all you want, but in their mental illness, they don't get it and consider your chat with them a rude challenge to them.
I think something happened on some level there that spooked the woman. Didn't raise to the level of pressing charges, but could have come close.
Too bad this fellow's mental illness caused him to take his life. They tend to often commit suicide as it is by age 50, but the whole thing sounds like it went bad.
4 days for paperwork maybe, but you cant tell a man in 1 day that your’e not charging him anymore? If so, then the process for sexual assault is BS.
In other words, he was still under the impression that the charges were still hanging over him.
That's a bit different than if they had told him and then it took for 4 days to clear the paperwork.
From the article: Wiltshire Police interviewed Mr Keogh on July 1, 2009 and decided to drop the case against him on July 4.
Officers immediately informed the complainant but did not plan to tell Mr Keogh until July 7.
Go ogle (google?) a woman and the next thing you know you are in jail.
