What makes it fishy is the way it went over the top. This isn’t on the credibility level of the Cosby scandal, not close. Roy never roofied anybody, not even according to allegation.
The failure of the story-line....was that it would have been better off to limit to two women only, and have relatives or friends who were aware of the episode at the time. Telling this in the way that the WaPo did...triggered most Alabama folks to be skeptical. Presently most of the state’s folks are maxing out on skepticism.
