The Kentucky state representative who was accused of child molestation and refused to resign, has committed suicide on a Kentucky bridge according to WDRB in Louisville, Kentucky.

Earlier today, Rep. Dan Johnson posted this on his Facebook page:

(2) Forgive and Love everyone especially yourself .(3)most importantly LOVE GOD. P.S. I LOVE MY FRIENDS YOU ARE FAMILY ! GOD LOVES ALL PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT !

I've been unable to find reports about what his mention of 9-11 is about, but Johnson was accused of sexually molesting a 17-year old girl in 2012.

That night, she woke after settling in on the sofa. She was groggy, unfocused. But she saw Johnson kneeling above her. He gave her a kiss on the head. She thought it fatherly, nothing out of the ordinary, simply one last goodnight gesture. Then he started to stroke her arm. He slid his hands up, under her shirt and bra, and groped her. He stuck his tongue in her mouth. Then, he forced his hands down her pants, underneath her underwear, and penetrated her with his finger. She begged her pastor to stop and tried to force him off, quietly. She remembers not wanting to awaken Sarah. But Johnson was a big man, roughly twice her weight. He told her she’d like it. She said no, she didn’t. She pleaded with him: go away, go away.

He always vehemently denied the allegations against him, but apparently could not face the process of answering them.
