Here is what I posted on another thread a couple of days ago:

Judge Moore graduates from West Point, goes to Vietnam, completes his Army service, attends law school, and begins practicing law. At that point, he is in his early 30s and ready to find a mate. In the late 70s, women are still marrying in their teens or early 20s, particularly in the South (where I’m from). Women his age are already married with families. The pool of available, child-bearing age women are young. When Judge Moore does marry in 1985, he is 38, his wife Kayla is 24.

The now 53 y/o woman who claims Judge Moore molested her at 14 is from a broken home, thrice divorced, attempted suicide at 16, and has had financial and legal problems. There are also reports she has made similar allegations against other men. She is not believable.

The other women that the Washington Compost (and now Gloria Allred) dug up were at the age of consent if or when they encountered Judge Moore. They have serious credibility problems, too.

Older men marrying younger women is/was common in the South. Female relatives in my family, including my mother, married in their teens to older men and became housewives, mothers to healthy children, and the backbone of their families. My father and mother, both from Gadsden, Alabama, Judge Moore’s hometown, met when he was 16 and she was 9. They lived two houses apart, and my maternal grandmother asked my father to tutor my mother in math. My father completed high school, graduated from college, fought in WWII, and returned to marry my mother shortly after her 18th birthday. He was 24 and a young Army major (battlefield promotions). They wanted to marry when my mother was 16, but decided to wait until after my father’s return from war was ensured. Like Judge Moore & Kayla, they raised four children to honorable adulthood, and after 66+ years of marriage and a passel of grandchildren & great grandchildren, they rest together at Arlington cemetery.

Bottom line: Judge Moore has done nothing wrong
