What I find hardest to believe, is that they are coming out with something that happened almost 40 years ago.
This strains believability, because Judge Moore has been in public life for decades, has been controversial for decades, and been in public office.
I find it hard to believe, that these stories never ever were discussed before. If these are true, why didn’t they ever come up before?
Why didn’t anything ever happen in the legal system with such charges?
Why are the conveniently revealed during an election campaign?
And why did they come out after the primary but before the general election; who decided to time it that way????
first of all let’s see if it was legal for him to date and even marry a 14 year old in Alabama 40 years ago.
This is from the website, www.al.com/index.ssf/2017/08/child_marriage_is_still_legal_html.
Back in May 2001, a bill was introduced into the Alabama Senate that sought to raise the age a person can marry from 14 years-old to 16. But during a late night filibuster, the bill failed to pass. Lawmakers did not want to raise the age, according to an Associated Press report from the time.
“I couldn’t believe there was so much opposition to it,” said former Alabama representative John Hilliard (D-Birmingham), who introduced the bill after discovering that children from neighboring states were coming into Alabama to get married. “How can it be that a child as young as that was being promised out by their parents? And almost nobody at the time was able to tell me why it was okay for it to continue.”
It would be another two years before the state increased the minimum age to 16. “That’s still a child,” Hilliard pointed out when he spoke to AL.com.
Up until 2003 it was legal to marry a 14 year old in Alabama. If legal to marry it sure as heck was legal to date.
Yet RINOs Toomey and Lee are ready to throw him under the bus.
But he hasn't been a powerful political figure for years. In fact, the ideal time for victims to come forward would have been back in the early 2000s -- and then later in 2016 -- when he was an Alabama judge and facing disciplinary action.
There isn’t really a “they” though.
He dated or had a date or two with 3 people of legal age. Only one says that he kissed her, and that only once or twice.
The ONE who claims she was 14, he says he didn’t know her and she’s lying.
We called women like her LIARS and TRAMPS!
