A young girl who was really heartbroken, has tragically ended her life two years after being r*ped at the age of 12.
Megan Hoyle
According to a report by The Sun UK, a schoolgirl aged 14 killed herself after sending a heartbreaking suicide text in which she said her “body, mind and soul” had been “destroyed” in a s*x attack when she was just 12 years old.
Megan Hoyle was already struggling to cope after she was molested by a 17-year-old boy who was subsequently locked away for the offence.
But when the attacker’s sentence was reduced on appeal, the youngster – described by her family as a ”vibrant, beautiful and funny’’ girl – felt let down believing he had ”got away with it”.
She first made a heartfelt call to close friend Christopher Cozen in which she was heard sobbing and pushing pills out of a packet.
Then in a text message to him she wrote: ‘If you have got this message then it is too late and I’m sorry.
“I’m sorry I broke my promise and I’m sorry I’m not strong enough.
“I’m sorry I let you down when you were scared but I was broken.
“Don’t call anyone, don’t call an ambulance – don’t think, just let the drugs kick in and let me go peacefully.”
The teenager, known as Pud, was later found by her mother collapsed on her living room floor after taking an overdose of prescription medication at her home in Blackburn, Lancs.
She died in hospital four days later.
Megan’s mother Wendy Charnley, 46, told an inquest in Blackburn how the sexual assault had affected her daughter.
She said: “Before the incident Megan was happy, full of life and very bubbly. But after it she was initially very withdrawn and angry and struggling with school and things.
“After the reduced sentence it made her feel let down.”
The tragedy occurred on February 20 after Blackburn Rovers fan Megan told her mother she was feeling unwell and sick.
In her heartbreaking text to pal Christopher she went on to urge him to help her friends in the aftermath of her death and apologised to her sisters Becky, 28, and Poppy, six, and brother Lee, 25.
She said: “I’m sorry to whoever finds my body, I’m sorry to the people I’m going to leave behind and I’m sorry to the people this is going to hurt.
“Don’t let Kaitlin go off the rails as she is my best friend. Let Poppy, Summer and Archie know I adored them. Nobody wants to remember the family f***-up and that’s all I am.
”I was strong once and internally beautiful but that girl died when I was was 12 years old, when he destroyed my body, my mind and my soul.
“Tell him he is the reason I am gone. I am sorry to my mum, she was like me.
“Tell my girls I’m sorry, my siblings that they will always be amazing even through the s***y fights. Go to Becky’s wedding for me please.”
Giving evidence Christopher said that he had last seen Megan on Sunday February 19 when she arrived at his flat in Darwen around 10pm after meeting friends at the fair in Blackburn.
He added: “Megan was telling me that she wasn’t doing that well at school and she was worried she was going to fail her exams.
“Though she didn’t spell out what she was going to do she made comments about making all the problems go away.
“I got quite angry with her and made her promise me that she wouldn’t do anything. She said to me she wouldn’t do anything silly.”
Senior coroner Michael Singleton recorded a verdict of suicide.
