Abby/Abbygaleforce, who originated the claim in 2019 that Christopher Gesualdi beat his girlfriend, has suddenly deleted her Twitter account. The account had been active regularly up until and including a retweet yesterday. If she had simply changed her Twitter handle, then it'd appear as thus, with the "Abby" name missing.
This piqued my interest, so I've looked and found she has a
Twitch (

Youtube (
Archive) account linked to her Twitter on this
Magic: The Gathering deckbuilidng website (

she's a transgender middle school teacher, he lives in Northampton, MA, and his full name seems to be Abbygale Mertes. This matches their
Instagram profile (

This is their "About" page on a Red Sox forum (

According to their profile (
Archive), they were viewing the website as I was looking into this. They have a strange profile post they wrote on their own profile the same month as Chris Gesualdi's arrest in May 2018, seemingly towards nobody.
It seems they work at the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School, as there's a middle school humanities teacher with a contact page named Abbygale Mertes on their website's
staff directory (

This leads also to a slew of social media under this Abbygale Mertes name. There's a
Youtube (

Medium (he hasn't written anything) (
Archive),
Patreon (Having trouble archiving this),
this tweet (

this GoFundMe for medical expenses (

Facebook (Having trouble archiving this) with
friends. Here's a
LinkedIn (Having trouble archiving this) with the deadname from the same city but no work history included. The name, birthday, age, and city/state matches this entry I found under the deadname.
