On April 10, 2017, inside the Mahoning County Courthouse in Youngstown, Ohio, 48 year old Robert Seman Jr. was being led to a holding cell following a status conference.
Seman, to put it lightly, was a psychopath. For five years, he raped Corrine Gump, starting when she was only four years old, and ending when she was nine.
In March 2015, on the day that the now 10 year old Corrine was due to testify against him in court, he burned her house down, killing her, as well as her deaf grandparents, identified as 63 year old William Schmidt, and 61 year old Judith Schmidt.
If he was convicted of the murders, he would have likely been given the death penalty.
According to many people present at the conference, Seman was in good spirits, and didn't seem to have any warning flags of a suicide showing. Sheriff Jerry Greene said "He was talking about the future of his trial, and he just decided to jump."
Also, the video had no audio, so I put music over it.

I live in Ohio not far from where this happened. Nobody misses Robert. His son Robert Andrew Ward (name changed after his fathers highly publicized case) was indicted in 2019 for abusing his 8 week old twin sons.

What the FUCK?? Wow, God bless the little girl AND those twin sons... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess.

Chances are, he was probably just another victim of his father's. One of my law school professors was a prosecutor who worked on the pedo unit and he said there were almost always multiple victims that would come out later. It was almost never just one kid. Almost always several.
Who knows. Not making excuses for him - absolutely disgusting he went on to abuse his own kids, but hurt people hurt people.

I bet his dad did shit to him too then. Almost makes you feel sorry for him, if he hadn't turned into a piece of shit as well.
