Shooting Expert Faces Molestation Charges

I'm confused about your comment. What's the back story that prompted you to post "Now we know why she left?"


Also this is just another in a long line of sick abuses of positions of "power" by coaches.

Sad story.

So is this Jessie Abbate's husband or something?

EDIT: I hope it wasn't that 15 year old junior shooter we know

yup!

Kind of clears things up a little. I would predict Jessie may soon be on the market.

That's a good reason for her to saying she is going back to her maiden name and changing her status to single.

 

[HICKMAN]

watching the video with the story, that's f'n sad.

If the allegations are true, what a f'ing shame for everyone involved. The young girl, Jesse, everyone.

Also a shame that it's public. Hope we don't lose any talent over this (ie I hope the young girl and Jessie will continue to compete).

What kind of freakin ego maniac could not be content w/ all that he had and cause him to do such a thing.

And the police found "evidence?" I don't even want to speculate.

Put him up against a wall and Load and Make Ready.

timing is interesting as Dave just left...

how can you have the hottest lady around and do that?

How old is Jesse? And how long had she been with Abbate?

 

[IndySSD]

Ok so after doing some digging after the semi ambiguous posts all i can say is that the mind of the sick man is a sad thing.

I can't imagine having a wife like his with whom I can share my passion and make a living by doing so and throwing it all away on pedophilia.

This whole situation is a sad sad mess.

How old is Jesse? And how long had she been with Abbate?

I'd say [STRIKE]early to mid 30's.[/STRIKE] just read an article that said she was 24 last year? what?

So he's twenty years older than her and they've been together how long? Almost seems like a pattern, right?

 

[HICKMAN]

I'm hoping it's not who I think it is, my daughter loves watching her shooting vids

From Jesse's FB page

Jessie Abbate
Hi Everyone! A new change in my life is that I am taking back my maiden name, and will now be Jessie Harrison. I have been through many life changes lately, and thank you all for your support. I am in a wonderful and happy place in my life, and starting a new chapter!

I'm only guessing, but this might be the victim...

Typically in these types of cases the identity of the victim is kept from the public, and that might be the considerate thing to do here, too.

she's a public figure, gave up the right of anonimity a long time ago. Sure the cops won't announce it, doesn't mean we can talk about it here amongst ourselves.

I'm sure every other USPSA shooter came to the same conclusion.

I guess a mod doesn't think it's okay for me to post her pic but it was okay when everyone made lewd comments about her when we talked about her joining Team Glock and I had to remind a few that she was only 15...



I have a 14yo daughter... I know what the bounderies are and really don't need to be policed here....

Agreed.
It also might be of assistance to other parents who think it might be "OK" to allow their young teenage daughters to be sexualized in photography.
