Ex-USA Gymnastics coach John Geddert kills himself after felony charges

Former USA Olympic gymnastics coach John Geddert died by suicide Thursday, hours after he was charged with two dozen crimes stemming from allegations that he physically, emotionally and sexually abused gymnasts under his care.
quote:
Michigan state officials charged Geddert with 24 felonies: 20 counts of human trafficking and forced labor, one count of first-degree sexual assault, one count of second-degree sexual assault, racketeering and lying to a police officer.
A lawyer from the Michigan's attorney general's office also said Thursday that Geddert knew disgraced Team USA doctor Larry Nassar was sexually abusing patients at the gym where both men worked and lied to police about it during a 2016 investigation into Nassar. The remainder of the charges against Geddert are all tied to his own behavior with gymnasts he coached at gyms he owned in Michigan. Law enforcement started investigating Geddert in February 2018 in the wake of complaints raised about his abusive coaching style during Nassar's sentencing hearing.
Court documents released Thursday allege that, among other things, Geddert in January 2012 digitally penetrated a girl who was between the ages of 13 and 16.

Pretty good result, but its a shame he doesn't have to rot in prison for awhile.

For all the flak Catholic priests take, it seems gymnastics are trying to even the score

Gymnastics is an amazing sport but a lot of internal cleaning in US gym across the country is needed. Even the non Nassar related scandals relating to coaches abusing the athletes and making them compete dangerous skills while very injured is disturbing, see Maggie Haney.

Went out of this life as he lived it, as coward.

We’re expecting a girl, and I agree. My wife is already talking about how she’ll be an Olympian.
Gives me the fricking creeps
I’m playing the long game here though. 3 or 4 years from now when my wife starts talking about gymnastics, I plan to revisit all the gymnastics coaches being rapists documentaries.

Anybody read the charges and understand how he was doing human trafficking?

Obviously not remotely in the same hemisphere as the abuse scandals however in the vein of “fixing gymnastics” there also needs to be something done about how judging is regulated. No one wants to see a sport go down the same path as boxing. .

Human trafficking. Underage girls. Died in Clinton County, Michigan.
This has Arkancide written all over it. Their assassins run cover for the deeper circles of Satanists.

Probably taking gymnasts across state lines, not trafficking in the sense you’re thinking

I believe there's a window decal popular among young people that illustrates it fairly well.
