One of My Abusers Falsely Accused Me of Defaming Her on Facebook and Started a Cascade of Hate that Ended With Doxxing & Swatting; Has History of Making False Accusations (2014)

Colleen Bushnell, a self proclaimed “MST advocate” working with Protect Our Defenders (PoD), didn’t just perjure herself in a court of law but she lied in two different states about her sons being sexually molested by the ex-husband and his family (who now have custody).

She accused them ALL of sex crimes in a court of law with no evidence where ANYONE accused of crimes against children are demonized in the public sphere. Much like my husband’s abusive ex-wife, she weaponized the court system to regain control of the situation after losing physical custody. Obviously, she had no history of “reports of abuse” to use as evidence. She is the abuser.

Law enforcement conducted an extensive investigation in two separate states only to find out that she simply made it up in an effort to get her children back under false pretenses. Colleen Bushnell has a history of falsely accusing people when she is the actual problem.

For about fifteen years, she’s been pushing herself out there as a “military sexual trauma advocate” despite treating veterans like shit. She has zero credibility with Congress, the Air Force, or in any court of law, therefore a significant risk to any client’s case or a movement. I met Colleen, the “advocate,” via Protect Our Defenders in 2012 and she started abusing me because I was chosen to testify for the House Armed Services Committee hearings in 2013 during the Lackland Air Force Base basic training sex scandal.

She was jealous because she wasn’t chosen to speak in front of Congress (probably because they vetted her) and she made my life a living hell from the time she found out until I testified. She spent weeks coming at me about how all my thoughts on any matters were wrong… and that she was the authority on the subject. You don’t speak for me or tell me that I don’t have freedom of speech after serving in silence for 17 years until my medical retirement was official. She had the nerve to fake console* me afterwards to get attention in the media and then began the gang bullying campaign against me on-line when she posted a fake “cease and desist.”

(The only thing I ever said about Colleen is that I didn’t want to work with her. I have every right to pick and choose who I will and will not work with. She is not a team player, she was abusing me, and she proved who she really is when she found out I didn’t want to work with her… she ruined me with lies and defamation on social media, the exact same thing she accused me of. Thanks for the hate Jeannie.)

*I was crying because of the abuse Colleen Bushnell put me through prior to the difficult task of testifying to congress about something so personal… and the fact that Air Force generals, most members of the HASC, and the audience who supported them walked out before hearing the testimony of two Air Force leaders. It was overwhelming to be treated so poorly before the testimony, during the testimony, and after the testimony after a lifetime of abuse and dehumanization. Colleen is connected to Nancy Parrish and is still a shill for Protect Our Defenders to this day. Both of them have a history of shutting down veterans to maintain control of the narrative.

Military Veteran Sentenced to 120 Years After Kidnapping and Sexually Assaulting Woman at Starbucks on Veterans Day (July 12, 2026)

Man says he went to Starbucks to find rape victim because ‘that’s where all the women go’ — abducted victim in parking lot and told her ‘I deserve this’
(Law and Crime, July 12, 2026)

On Veterans Day (November 11, 2022), Timothy J. Dubois Jr., 42, abducted a 21-year-old woman who was waiting in her car outside a Starbucks in Collinsville, Illinois. Armed with a large knife, he forced her to drive to a secluded area in nearby Troy, where he sexually assaulted her. He then forced her to drive back to the shopping center before fleeing. 

During the assault, the victim testified that Dubois told her he “deserved” her because he was a veteran and it was Veterans Day. Investigators later said Dubois admitted he specifically chose Starbucks because “that’s where all the women go,” and acknowledged the victim “could’ve been anyone”—he simply targeted someone who was alone. 

Although Dubois attempted to avoid detection by turning off the victim’s cellphone and wearing a mask, investigators were able to trace the victim’s Apple Watch to the crime scene. There they recovered a discarded condom containing DNA. Using forensic genetic genealogy, detectives eventually identified Dubois, who later confessed to the crime. 

In May 2026, a jury convicted Dubois of:

  • Aggravated criminal sexual assault
  • Aggravated kidnapping
  • Aggravated criminal sexual abuse 

On July 9, 2026, he was sentenced to 120 years in prison:

  • 80 years for aggravated criminal sexual assault
  • 30 years for aggravated kidnapping
  • 10 years for aggravated criminal sexual abuse

Under Illinois sentencing rules, he is expected to serve at least 68 years before becoming eligible for release. 

Following the sentencing, Collinsville Police Chief Brett Boerm said, “We put a monster away today,” while emphasizing that the victim still faces a long road to recovery. Prosecutors praised the persistence of investigators and the use of forensic genealogy in solving the case.

U.S. Military Service is the Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence

U.S. Military Service is the Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence

THE TWO MEN who carried out apparent terror attacks on New Year’s Day — killing 15 people by plowing a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, and detonating a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas — both had U.S. military backgrounds, according to the Pentagon. 

From 1990 to 2010, about seven persons per year with U.S. military backgrounds committed extremist crimes. Since 2011, that number has jumped to almost 45 per year, according to data from a new, unreleased report shared with The Intercept by Michael Jensen, the research director at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, at the University of Maryland.

Military service is also the single strongest individual predictor of becoming a “mass casualty offender,” far outpacing mental health issues, according to a separate study of extremist mass casualty violence by the researchers.

From 1990 through 2023, 730 individuals with U.S. military backgrounds committed criminal acts that were motivated by their political, economic, social, or religious goals, according to data from the new START report. From 1990 to 2022, successful violent plots that included perpetrators with a connection to the U.S. military resulted in 314 deaths and 1,978 injuries — a significant number of which came from the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
