An Ohio doctor has been found dead days before he was due to be brought before a court over accusations he paid a 16-year-old girl for sex. Francis J. Kearse III allegedly posed as a “sugar daddy” to teen girls online, paying them with vape pens and petty cash.
Kearse, a 43-year-old man, was an emergency medicine specialist in West Chester, Ohio. His body was discovered in the 5400 block of Howe Road in Trenton, on March 27 according to Fox19. His cause of death is reported to have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Assistant Prosecutor Elyse Deters stated that Kearse had taken his own life.
