NYPD Sergeant Kills Himself After Facing Rape Charge An NYPD officer recently accused of carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old girl committed suicide before facing charges in court. Via NYDN : An NYPD sergeant accused two weeks ago of raping a 15-year-old girl he met on the Internet killed himself Thursday, asphyxiating himself with a plastic bag in his childhood Brooklyn home, police sources said. Joel Doseau, 43, was found dead shortly after 11 a.m. inside the E. 80th Street house near Glenwood Road in Canarsie. A suicide note was found on Doseau’s body identifying him by name, according to a source. The note said he was a cop. Besides his legal woes, the cop also had financial troubles. His home was in foreclosure, the source said. The veteran cop’s world came crashing down Aug. 5 when he was arrested at his Bushwick apartment on a 40-count indictment that charged him with multiple counts of rape. A Brooklyn grand jury said Doseau had an ongoing sexual relationship with the girl, now a woman in her early 20s, which started in 2008 when she was just 15, two years below the age of legal consent. Sources said Doseau actually met the girl a year earlier, when she was just 14. He was freed on $100,000 bond. Among the charges Doseau faced were seven counts of rape, five counts of promoting the sexual performance of a child, 11 counts of sexual abuse and misconduct and three counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child, police said. Wow. Sounds like he knew that guilty verdict was on the way…
