John Geddert, a former USA Gymnastics coach who was charged with sex crimes and human trafficking Thursday, has died by suicide, according to multiple reports.

Geddert, 63, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday afternoon, Michigan state officials told local news station WLNS.

The Attorney General’s Office, which had just announced the charges at a news conference, did not immediately return a request for information.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Probably figured he had two choices, a high-level appointment in the harris-biden admin or suicide...

If you want to get to know Gunner, sit down with him and help him clean his rifles. He’ll have a cigarette in his mouth and a can of Busch beer by his side, but he’ll show you how to properly care for a firearm.

In this case it was the smart way out. Was he guilty, we will never know. The DA admitted this was an abnormal use of the charges. Would their creative charges have stood up in court or on appeal? We will never know. What we do know, in this day and age, he was already guilty in the court of public opinion. He sounds like an a-hole of a coach. There was, as I read it, a single accusation of sexual misconduct with a minor. He may be guilty as hell, but we will never know for sure. If that was his intention then he took the smart way out. Those who advocate for him will always point out the charges were not the normal application of the law and claim he was just a tough coach. Those who claim he was an abusive coach will never be able to prove it. Even if innocent, he already lost in today’s environment. Instead of losing he took his own life and left it as a draw. To be clear, if he did any of that to my daughter, I would buying the drinks tonight.

Another covid death!
My body, my choice.
Hope his victims feel they now have closure.
Did he vote for Biden?
Darn but the world is a screwed up place.

Remember how Gen. Flynn plead guilty to protect his son from the Federal juggernaut? There might be more to the story than ‘his actions prove his guilt.’
I would say wait until the whole story comes out, but I doubt we will ever see it

I don’t know if he was innocent or not, but I could see people killing themselves even if innocent.

Innocent, normal thinking people generally don’t take themselves out if they’ve been falsely accused.

Agree. Something off here. Nassar had hundreds of accusers. This guy one from years ago thrown in with a bunch of other made up charges by a politically ambitious DA. I don’t trust this DA at all. Nassar is definitely guilty. This guy who knows. Regardless, case is closed.

The good news is that he saved us all the cost of the trial. The bad news is that someone else has to clean up the mess.

My daughter has been telling me that, too. She said famous people are going to be outed. But I don’t think the Bidens will ever be charged with their crimes...
