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.

Maybe sod was hoping to attract you to the thread.
its a terrible world when you can't trust the justice system in any way....not to protect our children and not to protect our civil rights.
“What would have precluded him from having a firearm?”
Well I admit I did not thoroughly read the article but assumed charged meant he was taken into custody?
With today’s hyper politicized “justice” system, I agree with you. He may have been a ba*tard, but I can also see him despairing because he knew his life was ruined, no matter how potentially petty the offense.
Yes, quite possible.
I'm quite popular after all.
M U R D E R E D !!!
Well, he probably did do that. In spades.
“Geddert sold his reputation as an Olympic-level coach and promised to unsuspecting parents that he could turn his students into world-class athletes, allowing them to secure college scholarships,”
Watch Sunshine Cleaning. It's a family dramedy transposed into a very strange and offbeat key, but with Amy Adams, Emily Blunt and Alan Arkin, you will find it entertaining.
He’s better off imho.
Novel charge...
Human trafficking ?!?
“ The human trafficking charges are related to the forced labor resulting in injury to 19 athletes, all of whom are minors.
How in the world ?!?
trafficking
Taking them to foreign countries.
Even more dubious.
“ The racketeering charge stems from the trafficking charges and alleges that he trafficked 15 of the athletes, known only by their initials, for financial gain. ”
Um, scripture support for that assertion? ...
Now we’ll never find out if he was guilty.
Say what,
So it is a crime to say that men are not allowed in the girls locker room?
—-
“ Charging documents allege Geddert lied to Michigan State University Police Department Detective Sam Miller about:
Nassar’s role at as a team physician at Twistars
Saying he had never heard any complaints about Nassar’s treatment
Denying he was aware of any athletes receiving intravaginal treatments at Twistars
Saying males were not allowed in the female locker room”
Yours is a most interesting question. Sex trafficking for ‘someone’ in powerful position, about to spill his guts, has those he loved (family) threatened for wet works, offs himself to save family members. The oligarchy uses this world-wide.
It is proper to ping those FReeper’s...you are mentioning...
Apparently you assumed wrong, he was charged today but was not taken into custody thus was able to commit suicide at home...............
Human trafficking is a serious matter, but lately prosecutors have taken to putting on any charge that involves a man and a woman, especially if there is sex involved.
In the Robert Kraft case the cops were blabbing about “human trafficking” all day long. Eventually, it turned,out there was no such thing involved.
Nowadays, it is as likely to indicate prosecutorial over-reach as it is to involve actual trafficking.
