Yes, he had a high-paying, high-profile job where we both worked, and he was facing two years in jail for child molestation, so that was going to be the end of that for the rest of his life.

It almost seems like he wanted to take care of "unfinished business" before leaving.
Her horizontal line seems very unsettled and conflicted, and his seems to end at the Tower, which suggested prison to me, with the Tree showing it would be for a while. Her vertical line ends at the Owl and Mouse, and Rachel Pollack has the rather fanciful idea that the somewhat cheerful-looking Owl is carrying the Mouse to safety in another part of the forest.
The fascinating thing is what you pointed out about the "other woman" sort of standing behind him. It's interesting that they could never get anything out of him on that, because it's almost certain she was the one who made the anonymous phone call.
