Six days before his scheduled sentencing for sex crimes against two students, a former Bucks County middle school teacher killed himself Saturday at his home in Northeast Philadelphia.

Jeffrey Anderson, 23, left a suicide note saying he could not live with what he had done, prosecutors said . . .

Seems like the medical persons could have seen a repeated try. They shouldn't release a person until they are fairly sure they aren't suicidal.

I think he was more afraid of prison then of living with what he did.

That's sad.

Indeed.

Local paper report on his arrest last May:

Anderson engaged in sex acts with both girls at the home and later bragged about it online:

“Hah ... im so going to hell ... I can't believe I hooked up with two 9th graders!!” Anderson allegedly wrote in an instant message on Facebook.com, a popular Web site.

Anderson was pulled out of class Monday and questioned. Police said he confessed to the crimes . . .

I don't think sex offenders get a real good time in prison, and as he's only in his 20s.....I'd say he'd be made someones "wife" pretty soon once he got inside....I don't think he could face it.
