That's the immediate suspicion.    That's what most people think when someone kills themselves.  But it could also be that he just couldn't face the shit that tends to stick when these accusations fly around.   There's been many a so called rapist cleared of the assault but it ruins their lives anyway.   I guess we'll see.

i dont buy that

a man robust enough to go into politics is someone who automatically has a thicker skin than most. a mere accusation would not be enough to cause a truly innocent person to do this especially when he is surrounded by a host of other men, many of whom will be falsely accused by feminist harridans and devil harpies.

he chose death over exposure, thats how bad his secret was

I actually agree with smelly on this.  Innocent people don't tend to kill themselves, especially when they claim that they don't know what the allegations really are.
It would seem he couldn't face what was coming.

And I do not differentiate between the political parties themselves.
