text: Chad Geyen (above) of Ramsey, Minnesota was found dead on Sunday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound . A man charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse against young boys killed himself the day before his trial. Chad Geyen, a married father of two from Ramsey, Minnesota, was found dead on Sunday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a park near his home. He had been accused of assaulting at least six boys hundreds of times, including his own foster son, between 1990 and 2013. The Star Tribune reports that Geyen, 45, was first reported missing on Saturday night, having been out on bail since he was first charged in November 2013. He was set to stand trial on five counts of first-degree and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Of the six individuals who have come forward, four are now adults, with the oldest saying the abuse began between him and Geyen when he was part of the Big Brothers organization. Another boy claims Geyen once paid him $20 to perform a sexual act, while a third actually lived with the man as his foster child. That individual says he was 5-years-old when the abuse began, and that it occurred hundreds of times. All the boys were under the age of 13 when the alleged abuse began. While investigating, authorities found a fake Facebook account created by Geyen in which he claimed to be a 13-year-old girl to communicate with young boys. There was also visits to a 'boy-love' site in his web history. 'It’s pretty unusual [for abuse cases] to go undetected after having this much contact with victims over such a long period of time,' said Anoka County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Paul Sommer when the charges were first filed. 'There were hundreds of alleged incidents.' The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office is set to release further details about Geyen's death later this week. • For confidential help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or click here . • For confidential support on suicide matters in the UK, call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90, visit a local Samaritans branch or click here .
