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 .

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 .
