If the guy was suffering from depression and this tipped him over the edge then it’s a sad sad story (even more so if he was innocent) - whatever the true story, losing your reputation isn't worth taking your own life over.

However if it’s simply a case of the guy knowing he was going to be exposed as a wrong ‘un then it’s a pretty selfish act to leave your kids without a father.

As I say, let’s hope the truth will come about in time.
Yes some good points.
Whatever does come out, our system needs an overhaul.

In any investigation whether it be for sexual harassment, child abuse, or just an ill advised innuendo on a Christmas do, the accused is pre-judged by all and sundry which in some cases has a devastating effect on the person and their families with the accuser in most cases getting off scot free.
I have seen cases where the accused is acquitted and not only does nothing happen to the accuser, they have got compensation ffs. Win win at our expense!

'We have the best system in the world' I've heard people say in the past. Sure there are a lot worse, and maybe once upon a time we did, but is ours really the best?
In trying to do the "right thing for everyone" it seems we have lost the plot!
