    Ex-USA Gymnastics coach kills himself

    after being hit with 24 charges including sexual assault

    John Geddert was expected to turn himself in Thursday afternoon


    John Geddert, a former women's head coach for USA Gymnastics, has died by suicide.


    His death was reported hours after the state of Michigan filed 24 criminal charges — including sexual assault and human trafficking —against Geddert, who had ties to disgraced team doctor Larry Nassar.


    What are the details?

    Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) held a press conference Thursday announcing the charges against Geddert, which "break down into 14 counts of human trafficking, six counts of human tracking of a minor and single counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree criminal sexual conduct and lying to a peace officer during a violent crime investigation," Law & Crime reported.


    According to The Detroit News, Geddert previously owned Twistars USA, a gymnastics facility where multiple victims of Nassar claimed they were assaulted. After Nassar pleaded guilty in 2018 to sexually abusing 10 minors, a criminal investigation into Geddert was launched and the coach transferred ownership of the gym to his wife.

    Sounds like he was his own prosecutor, judge and jury. Wonder if any of his victims are crying over his death?

    Sex trafficking in this nation is a disgrace. An Abomination. At least he had the decency to kill himself. Let God deal with it.
