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.

And, another thing....

McTurtle sure was quick to offer that “Moore should resign, if true” bit.

Too bad he can’t react as quickly to getting Trump’s Judicial selections confirmed.

So sick of this COC/NWO bought and paid for harlot, McTurtle.

Hi.

Methinks your olfactory system is working well.

“Judge Moore was Chief Justice on the Alabama Supreme Court.”

____________________________________________________________

And he has been a judge for how long? On the Alabama Supreme Court for how long?? And none of these charges were made at all during this time?? Only now??

Complete garbage.

This supposedly happened 38 years ago—in 1979—when we sat in our Ford Granadas waiting in long lines for gasoline while listening to Anita Ward sing disco music on the eight-track player as Congress debated SALT II and President Carter whined about malaise. Totally different world from today.

Someone should drag some $100 bills through Kentucky trailer parks and get some sexual harassment charges on Mitch. This does stink.

Rush was talking about this on his show today. Hannity was too.

Both of them gave way too much time to this. Thereby doing too much harm and damage to Judge Moore.

If the National Enquirer had reported that Hillary just gave birth to Barney Frank’s love child - would they have paid as much attention?

If he weren’t running for office, he could file under 13A-11-163. They only can do this because is he running for office.

I think this accuser is saying it would’ve happened in 1979....so, that’d make her 52ish.

Another paid for ‘accuser’, compliments of Dems & RINOs.

Moore was 28 years old at the time and not even a teen.

In most states, you can be prosecuted for having relations with someone under the age of 16.

I’m not a believer in situational ethics. If its always wrong, its always wrong, period.

A man no matter his age, knows when to keep his pants zipped, especially if he doesn’t want his past following him around.

And you know should enough when to back off when a woman says “no.” It ain’t rocket science.

What's the big deal?

A guy I know remembers seeing Jones outide his school selling weed to 5th graders during recess.

He's run for public office in the past so I think he's lost his private citizen status.

But the maliciousness should be obvious. A false accusation of criminal conduct is inherently malicious.

Go to court and prove it.

This BS has to stop. All some female has to do is make the allegation...anonymously...with no proof and the accused is ruined.

State your name, name dates and details and provide proof.

I’m sorry. I believe the Judge until there is rock-solid evidence it really happened. The Demons will stop at nothing to win or shine a dark light on their opponents by any means necessary!
