[quote]Leigh Corfman says she was 14 years old when an older man approached her outside a courtroom in Etowah County, Ala. She was sitting on a wooden bench with her mother, they both recall, when the man introduced himself as Roy Moore.[/quote]
[quote]Alone with Corfman, Moore chatted with her and asked for her phone number, she says. Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.
“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.[/quote]
[quote]In a written statement, Moore denied the allegations.
“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore, now 70, said.
The campaign said in a subsequent statement that if the allegations were true they would have surfaced during his previous campaigns, adding “this garbage is the very definition of fake news.”
None of the women have donated to or worked for Moore’s Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, or his rival in the Republican primary, Luther Strange, according to campaign reports.
Corfman, 53, who works as a customer service representative at a payday loan business, says she has voted for Republicans in the past three presidential elections, including for Donald Trump in 2016. She says she thought of confronting Moore personally for years, and almost came forward publicly during his first campaign for state Supreme Court in 2000, but decided against it. Her two children were still in school then and she worried about how it would affect them. She also was concerned that her background — three divorces and a messy financial history — might undermine her credibility.[/quote]
[quote]Corfman described her story consistently in six interviews with The Post. The Post confirmed that her mother attended a hearing at the courthouse in February 1979 through divorce records. Moore’s office was down the hall from the courtroom.
Neither Corfman nor any of the other women sought out The Post. While reporting a story in Alabama about supporters of Moore’s Senate campaign, a Post reporter heard that Moore allegedly had sought relationships with teenage girls. Over the ensuing three weeks, two Post reporters contacted and interviewed the four women. All were initially reluctant to speak publicly but chose to do so after multiple interviews, saying they thought it was important for people to know about their interactions with Moore. The women say they don’t know one another.
“I have prayed over this,” Corfman says, explaining why she decided to tell her story now. “All I know is that I can’t sit back and let this continue, let him continue without the mask being removed.”
This account is based on interviews with more than 30 people who said they knew Moore between 1977 and 1982, when he served as an assistant district attorney for Etowah County in northern Alabama, where he grew up.[/quote]
Nothing will change because the republican base only cares about winning
Good ol' Roy Moore, a shining example of quality Republican family values like... ephebophilia and criminalizing homosexuality. :downs:
In fairness to him, Moore is innocent until proven guilty.
Oh fucking PLEASE let this faggot get ousted out of his office. I utterly despise our state government to the point that it's just comical that we have people like Bentley,Luther Strange, and Moore preach family values but want to have affairs and diddle kids.

He's already an irredeemable shitstain so hopefully this will give his opponent an even better chance at beating him. Or maybe he'll be thrown in a cell for the rest of his life.

Another source is writing this as well
Wouldn't surprise me. A running theme amongst people who scream about celibacy and anti-birth control stuff tend to be fairly promiscuous to a disgusting level behind the scenes.

Nothing wrong with a lady or dude sleeping around imo, just as long as it's safe, consensual, and they're not cheating on a significant other. The issue is, this guy had had sex with someone who not only wasn't disposed to consent, but due to their age, by definition could not consent. He crossed a very clear line.
...and so soon after that primary election he won, unpopular as he was with the rest of the nation. So close to the general, too. How convenient.
Not surprised a radical Christian theocrat like Roy Moore is lacking in moral fiber. Just another reason to keep him out of office. The guy is so far right he's extreme even by Republican standards.

If you think this woman is a complete liar and is just smearing him to hurt his chances in the race then at least have the balls to say it instead of doing a tap dance.

and also around the time when sexual assault victims are finally being empowered to bring their story forward. This is why these stories get buried for so many years. Comments like this.

The fact you doubt their allegations because of politics shows exactly the kind of person you are, deplorable.
On topic: If there's any truth to them he should resign immediately. Not suprising though.

you’re so sad and disappointing
Guys guys it's okay, Chonch is right to protect Moore. The second coming is upon us

Personal accounts of sexual assault are not suppressed for years because of anonymous internet comments. They're suppressed for years because the victims decide to come forward years after the fact. Because of the innumerable reasons one might choose to make these sorts of allegations, they should be treated with the same suspicion as any other accusation of criminal activity. It's revolting and horrible if true, but I'm not going to take a stance one way or the other until I know more. Claims like these ruin men's lives regardless of their veracity, and that's not something to be taken lightly.

Largely I mean that they are so incredibly hypocritical it's to the point of Anti-LGBT GOP lawmakers being found with boytoys in a hotel room. That's happened, what, 3 times?

Your literalistic interpretation of his comment is a bullshit sidestep of the point. He's saying that ATTITUDES like the one you expressed in your comment are representative of a [I]pervasive[/I] disbelief and discounting of victim's stories. If you could pull your head out of your ass for a moment maybe you would recognize that he's not talking about just a literal comment on a video game forum but an attitude that reflects the public discourse.
If anyone's surprised, [URL="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/11/09/after-endorsing-democrat-teenagers-judge-fires-back-denial/"]Breitbart (WARNING THIS IS A LINK TO BREITBART) rushed ahead of the Washington Post story to defend Moore.[/URL] I can't believe this shit.
[QUOTE]The Washington Post is imminently planning to run a piece targeting Judge Roy Moore, claiming that he engaged in inappropriate conduct with four teenage girls 34 years ago.
The alleged incidents, all of which Moore strongly denies, allegedly took place between 1977 and 1982. Breitbart News obtained details of the forthcoming Post story from the newspaper’s letter detailing the allegations sent to Moore’s campaign for comment.
...
The campaign pointed out that Moore has been married to his wife, Kayla, for nearly 33 years and has four children and five grandchildren. It also noted that Moore has served in public office in the past and that no such allegations were previously made.[/QUOTE]
Oh, because he's been a married man since 1985 ...after the dates of the alleged assaults... that means he's innocent? Uhhhh :v:
And, proving why they're banned as a shitty source here, Breitbart continues at the end with this:
[QUOTE]The Post is owned by Nash Holdings LLC, a holding company for billionaire Amazon founder and open borders champion Jeffrey Bezos.
The newspaper formally endorsed Moore’s Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the Senate race.
In a series of articles, Breitbart News has documented Jones’s close associations with far-left groups financed by George Soros that push open borders and a host of radical causes.[/QUOTE]

Donald Trump's life was ruined after he was accused of sexual assault. Ruined.

Yes, I think we both know that it wasn't a literal statement. If you would read further on down the post you will find me addressing the point.

So is he not denying it now? Or is this one of those "I DIDN'T DO SHIT, BUT EVEN IF I DID, IT'S TOTALLY COOL 'CAUSE PRAISE JESUS!" defenses?
I have no strong opinions regarding religion. People who hide behind it or use it to justify their crimes, however? I consider them to be absolute scum.
