Forwarded to me by northern Cal JW concerned about how this Elders case & JW connection (and other victims) was swept under the carpet for many years.

A 54-year-old Shingletown man has pleaded no contest to molesting a girl in exchange for a 24-year prison sentence, a prosecutor said today.
Alan Paul Abbott, who pleaded no contest Wednesday to three counts of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under the age of 14, is due to be sentenced on April 16.
Abbott will be required to serve 85 percent of his prison sentence, or about 20.4 years, before becoming eligible for parole, Deputy District Attorney Ben Hanna said today.
He will be on parole for five years upon his release from prison.
Abbott, who was arrested in late December, was accused of molesting the girl from about 2004 to 2006, Hanna said.
