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.
