Jessica Laura Cory Gilbert, also known by the name “Jessie” Gilbert (30 January 1987 from the 26th of July to the 26th of July in 2006) was an British Chess champion. She was the women’s world amateur champion in 1999.

On December 14, 2006, Mr. Gilbert was found not guilty of any allegations against him. He believed Jessie was accusing him of using revenge for an argument they had. The next day, it was revealed in the press that Angela Gilbert had been arrested for allegedly threatening to murder her ex-husband however, she was released later and authorities from the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to pursue the investigation.

Two days following her death, it emerged that her father, Ian Gilbert, had previously been charged with seven counts of rape and two counts of indecent assault. The charges were said to relate to more than one victim. British police would not name the alleged victims, but confirmed that one of them was dead. On 29 July 2006, the British press began to name Jessica Gilbert as one of the victims.

On the night of 26 July 2006, she fell from the eighth floor of the Hotel Labe, in Pardubice, Czech Republic, where she was playing at the Czech Open. On the evening of her death, it was reported she had consumed beer and vodka from the room’s minibar. Jessica had been sharing the room with a 14-year-old friend and fellow chess player. Her friend got up to visit the bathroom sometime in the early morning. When she returned, Jessica was missing, and the friend assumed that she had gone for a walk.

Gilbert had been awarded a seat to an University of Oxford to study medicine starting in September of 2005, but he decided to go on the gap year to focus solely on playing chess. In only two months, in the beginning of 2006. Gilbert was able to achieve three “norms” in major tournaments in chess.

Jessica is the child of Angela Gilbert and Ian Gilbert and was raised in Woldingham, Surrey. She went to Croydon High School. His father worked as a manager for careers for the Royal Bank of Scotland. Gilbert’s parents divorced in 2003. Jessica lived with them in Reigate with her mother and siblings and her father was been married to a lawyer named Sally who lived in Hackney east London.

At the time of Jessica’s death, Mr Gilbert had not yet entered a plea to the charges. If she had lived, and he had pleaded not guilty, that would have raised the prospect of Jessica having to give evidence against her father, and being cross-examined by his barrister. Mr Gilbert was released on bail, pending his case starting at Guildford Crown Court on 21 August 2006. On 31 July 2006, the Crown Prosecution Service said that they would be reviewing the case in the light of the media coverage of Jessica Gilbert’s death.
