That is fucking awful. The poor man.

 

[Teaboy]

Yes, very sad story and a distressing way for it all to end.

Poor sod

How utterly depressing. I hope it leads to his abusers facing justice. If there is such a thing.

 

[StoneRoad]

I don't suppose his (alleged) abusers have anything approaching a conscience, but if they have, I hope it kicks (and keeps kicking) them somewhere very painful. Ditto whoever decided not to persue the allegations.

Poor guy
