One of the women who accused Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of making advances on her when she was a teen and he a local prosecutor admitted Friday to writing part of the yearbook inscription she offered as proof, a new crack in her story that gives Moore an opening to attack her credibility.
Beverly Young Nelson admitted to ABC News that she added notes beneath what she says is Roy Moores signature in her high school yearbook an inscription that she and famed attorney Gloria Allred presented as proof the then-30-something Moore sought an inappropriate relationship with her in the late 1970s. The notes below the signature appear to be the handwritten date and location. Nelson still insisted that Moore wrote most of the message.
Beverly, he did sign your yearbook?" ABCs Tom Llamas asked her.
He did sign it, she said.
And you made some notes underneath? Llamas asked.
Yes, she replied.
While Nelson did not specify exactly what she added to the inscription, the text beneath Moore's signature reads: "12-22-77 Olde Hickory House.
During her original press conference with Allred in November, in which she made her original accusation, Nelson read aloud and attributed the entire inscription to Moore, including the date and location.
"He wrote in my yearbook as follows: 'To a sweeter more beautiful girl, I could not say Merry Christmas, Christmas, 1977, Love, Roy Moore, Olde Hickory House. Roy Moore, DA,'" she said.

It’s disgusting. But nobody except the last of the die hard dems believes this garbage.
Scarily, that is still probably 30 percent of the population.
That’s JUST the die hards. I’m figuring 44 percent would vote for hillary again tomorrow. But Trump would carry a few more states than he did now.
Smug smarmy Tom Llamas.
A genuine analysis of the book might bear that out. But Gloria won't give up the book for analysis.

Thanks for the details! I can see why you enjoyed yourself over there. It sounds hilarious! And to think Gillibrand has been spoken of as a possible POTUS contender—amazing that at least for now she’s under the bus.
Don't some call that fraud?
And "Ray" seems to make the whole passage make sense since it rhymes otherwise, it reads as nonsense (to me)....
A lot depends on how many cigarettes she smoked during her lifetime.
He added the fake but accurate parts. Moore is a liar. Please stay with the seriousness of this charge.
And by admitting to fraud she has overcome Moore’s burden to demonstrate that her defamation was malicious. Fraud is per se malicious.
Yes, hands definitely reveal age.
“No she didnt MAKE SOME NOTES!! SHE LIED.”
Well, there’s writing under the signature that’s inconsistent with the signature. What’s to prove she didn’t write that bit after he signed it?
(Just being objective; there’s a whole lotta vitriol being spewed on this thread but I’m not seeing objective proof of lies/forgery. No, I haven’t been following the story closely, and need succinct evidence so I can discuss it with others.)
Same here and there's a reason for that. Yearbooks are full of pictures of class events, etc. You would want to capture as many senior year photos as possible.
In those days, there was a 6-8 week waiting period between the final submissions to the year book publisher and the delivery of the finished books. I know this because I was on the yearbook committee when my high school class graduated in 1980.
So in order to have the yearbooks ready by Christmas, you would have had a cut-off around mid-October - pretty much skipping the entire senior year. You wouldn't even be able to publish the school's football team results in the yearbook!
That just does not make sense.
Our yearbooks came out around the middle of May and as a result, the last photos taken of our class was around the end of March.
Even if he did sign her yearbook, that is not a crime.
Not anywhere.
And it is not proof of anything else she alleges.
Did he sign his name “Ray”, as well? Was he in the habit of forging his assistants initials, “DA”, in student yearbooks? LOL!
Just watched Sheppie on FOX and he reported on Moore and the yearbook but did not mention anything about the additions by the accuser; just played clip of her talking about being groped. football bat
And she made the “notes”, copying the style of his handwriting as close as she could...
Quit insulting and start explaining what’s actually wrong here.
Cursive “o” and “a” are quite similar.
Yes, the color changed - so he switched pens, and whoever did the post-signature notes used the second pen.
Signatures being rather obfuscated, someone else may have added date & printed name as notes.
The “DA”, well, don’t see a good explanation for _or_ against it.
Just help me understand what’s the actual accusation against here here.
The “D.A.” after the signature is the proof of forgery.
It was obviously copied from the woman;s divorce papers almost 20 years later. The DA are the initials of Moore’s assistant at the time, and those initials accompanied any stamped signature of Moore’s when he was a judge.
Also, it is obvious that someone named Ray wrote the inscription, because Ray rhymes with say==it was meant to be a cute rhyme.
Besides the rest of her story’s details have been discredited by fellow waitresses who worked there at the time.
ok, so she’s getting closer to telling truth.
