I hardly take him committing suicide as an admission of guilt. In addition to what Stefan said prior, perhaps he was just severely depressed and mentally ill and these accusations were the straw that broke the camel's back because in a day and age where MeToo, Trial by Social Media, and 'believe all victims no matter what' has become so prominent, you're guilty by default. Proper Litigation, Due Process, Right to an Attorney, Right to a Fair Trial, Burden of Proof, and Innocent Until Proven Guilty all be damned. Even if the accusations turn out to be false and the accuser was just lying through her teeth, the damage to his reputation, career, and life was already done. I'm not trying to make excuses for taking his own life, but this is likely what he was thinking on top of whatever depression, stress, or severe mental strain he already had that drove him to do it. Maybe the accusations are legitimate, maybe they're not. If they are, well I guess in a way he's already atoned for his crimes. It's a damn shame, all around.
