Roy Moore: Alabama Senate candidate denies child sex abuse
bbc ^ | November 9, 2017

Posted on 11/09/2017 12:18:48 PM PST by Red Steel

An Alabama candidate for the US Senate is strongly denying allegations that he sexually abused a 14-year-old girl.

Roy Moore, a Republican firebrand, said claims that he preyed on a teenager while he was a 32-year-old prosecutor were "completely false".

Leigh Corfman and three other women say Mr Moore made sexual advances on them when they were between the ages of 14 and 18, the Washington Post reports.

The top Senate Republican said Mr Moore must step aside if the claims are true.

Mr Moore, who is now 70, said in a statement to the Post: "These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign."

The Christian conservative's team said in another statement about the allegations, "this garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation".

"Judge Roy Moore has endured the most outlandish attacks on any candidate in the modern political arena, but this story in today's Washington Post alleging sexual impropriety takes the cake," its statement added.

They never came forward when he was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - at least twice - yet they come forward now??? Smells like BS to the Nth degree to me.

I think the folks will see through this pretty easily. Man, McCain has become a pile of rotting flesh. Sounds like he has sold himself to the devil.

As Rush said in all of the contentious races Judge Moore has been in, you’d think that stuff would already have been used, if it were true.

Has he announced that he is now going to live as a gay man?

It’s a VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY, I tells ya! *SMIRK*

The Democrats are BEYOND pathetic. How anyone can be one and be associated with these greedy, immoral, sociopaths simply boggles the mind!

Ever hear of innocent until proven guilty? How many times have these been shown to be fake?

Ultimately, when it’s all said and done, every date that I’ve ever been on could be considered a “sexual advance”.

Is Gloria Allred representing ANY of the accusers?

This reminds me of something Lyndon Johnson would pull. He would come up with the most outlandish accusations against an opponent. When a member of his team would inform him it wasn’t true, Johson would reply, “I know it isn’t true, I just want to hear the son of a bitch deny it.”

I’ve been in court, several times.

As a juror.

Put me there again, and I’ll have no trouble AT ALL finding false accusations of criminal conduct to be inherently malicious.

Agree. Deny this smear and move on with your soon to be winning campaign.

This is right out of the Democrat playbook.

They did it to Trump before election day.

They did it to Arnold before election day.

The right response is to deny it and move on, even if we have another Gloria Allred sighting, which is ultimate proof that the allegations are a sham.

I only know of two cases where public figures sued and won.

Maureen O’Hara sued True Confessions
Carol Burnett sued the National Enquirer.

English laws are much easier. Don’t have to show malice.

Melania won a settlement there earlier this year over claims by the Daily Mail that she worked as a high priced escort.

Shows you how much Murdoch hates Trump though.

Now we have the RINO Senators jumping on the bandwagon led by McConnell and McCain.
