My sister-in-law married a guy 11 years older than she was.... when she was 15. They were married 36 years before he died. They were married in 1981.
It is not THAT unusual. How about giving Moore the benefit of the doubt for at least a few seconds before declaring him a pedophile. Hard to believe a West Point grad and assistant District Attorney would just casually commit statutory rape.
The story smells.
It wasn’t statutory rape under AL law. It was still inappropriate.
Most dads wouldn’t allow their teen daughters to date a much older man.
We have certain norms in this society. Whether the people of his state can decide if that’s something they can live with, is up to them.
We are far from having heard the whole story.
My grandma was 13 when she married my grandpa who was 20. They were married 45 years. My mother was 15 when she married my father who was 21. They were married for 30 years. My sister got married when she was 15. That was 1961. She just celebrated her 56th anniversary. My brother in law was 18 when they got married.
