Caroline Flack’s(pictured) suicide was influenced by a number of factors including the prospect of going to jail, the public humiliation of the trial being held in the full glare of the public, and the fear of losing her boyfriend whilst before and up until the time she would be in jail.
That’s the plausible conclusion after considering section 39 of the criminal Justice Act for which she was charged for assault by beating. Caroline Flack would have been facing either a fine or a custodial sentence of a maximum of 6 months imprisonment, had her case got to court. Despite pals of the tragic star claiming Flack was worried about the body cam footage of police being shown to the court and revealing deep self inflicted cuts to her hand, and her in a state of distress, some analysts believe more serious factors drove her to suicide.

Two members of our thinktank who have closely analysed the facts of the case leading up to her tragic suicide Tragic Flack are convinced she was tortured by more worrying concerns. Psychologist Anna Dreic, told The Eye Of Media.Com:
” the offence for which Caroline Flack was charged had with it the possibility of a custodial sentence , meaning she could potentially have gone to jail. This alone would have scared the life out of her.
‘Let’s remember she is a woman with mental health issues who up until the incident was popular with the British public and in everyone’s good books. A court case in the full glare of the public which could easily land her in jail would have been very scary. And that’s while dealing with likely unsolved issue of whether her boyfriend was cheating. The potential for her boyfriend to be with someone else if she goes to jail would more than likely aggravate her fear of going to prison itself”

who was a hit with Love Island fans lost the plot when she attacked her boyfriend with a lamp whilst he was asleep, leading him to call the police in a frantic panic.
SUSPICIOUS TEXT MESSAGES
Flack attacked her boyfriend after she found text messages that suggested he was cheating. Bail conditions ordering her to have no contact with him throughout the Christmas period was have affected her immensely.
Not being able to see the man she loved, especially after reading text messages that led her to believe he was cheating must have already been very painful for her. Her worries would easily have been amplified. Her mind would have been doing overtime wondering if he was sleeping with that person and possibly even others. But the chances of her being jailed for the assault and losing her career completely in front of the whole world would have been a terrifying thought for her.
”The television presenter would have known that the CPS were confident of securing a conviction with the evidence they had, and that would have been very frightening for her, our psychologist said. Ms Flack had cut her self deeply on the night , sustaining deep wounds that required hospital treatment.
She was treated by medics for 12 hours before she was deemed fit enough to be interviewed by officers under caution. Her sad death has led to unjustified condemnation of the press from some angry individuals who are looking for someone to blame instead of putting the blame squarely where it belongs.
Labour leadership contender Keir Starmer condemned mainstream outlets for “amplifying” damaging social media posts about Flack, and said he would take action to “diversify” the press if he won the race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn. He said the presenter’s death “shocked a lot of people”, adding: “It wasn’t just social media, it was the media amplifying what social media was doing. It was both strands. There is a human impact. His comments totally miss the reality of the situation. There is no question that the press sometimes go beyond what is necessary, but the press cannot take responsibility for the death of Caroline Flack.
IT consultant Phil Black, said:
”Caroline Flack was an experienced woman in the industry. It is really tragic, but she would have been expected to know the consequences of her actions before she did it. She could have acted a moment of madness, but if her violent attack is put down to mental health issues, then so must her decision to kill herself. She must have feared the prospect of imprisonment and the damage to her reputation that a court case would bring.
Perhaps she even believed her career would have been over and damaged beyond repair, but I would imagine she would have had other opportunities. The media can’t really be blamed in this case, though it is quite possible she feared the ridicule that may come with a highly publicised case. She may not have gone to jail if she pleaded diminished responsibility, but the possibility of prison could be very scary. She wouldn’t know if a judge would want to make an example of her”.
