On Friday afternoon, embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore appeared on Sean Hannitys radio show to discuss Thursdays Washington Post report detailing allegations that he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old and pursued sexual relationships with other teens while he was in his 30s.
Moores initially denied the allegations in their entirety but he was far more equivocating with Hannity. Though he denied even knowing the youngest alleged victim, then 14-year-old Leigh, Moore acknowledged that he did know two of the other victims named in the report. He denied allegations that he engaged in unlawful behavior with any of them, including one anecdote that he provided one underaged victim with wine.
When asked by Hannity if he had any recollection of dating teenage girls when he was in his mid-thirties, Moore said it would out of my customary behavior, but stopped short of denying that he did. At another point in the interview he said he didnt generally remember pursuing girls that young. Instead, Moore seemed to validate some of the Posts reporting, confirming, for instance, that he would seek permission from a girls mother before he would try to date her.

Following the interview, Moores campaign released another statement addressing the Posts report. The new statement denied providing alcohol to minors and sexual misconduct but did not specifically deny pursing sexual relationships with teenagers as an adult.

(54,403 posts)I remember all the girls I dated in college, too, and that was 1970-1974. But then, they were either my age, a year older or a year younger.

(14,918 posts)It sure sounds as if serial child molester Roy Moore is expecting more revelations from additional victims whom he will then undoubtedly revile and/or claim not to remember:

...."Moore said he expected more stories from The Post before the election.
"The Washington Post has attacked my foundation, my wife (who is president of the Foundation for Moral Law) and now they are attacking me personally on a sexual matter. I don't know what's coming next but I'm sure that in the next four weeks, they are going to come out with another article. Because they've got an agenda and they are fulfilling their agenda right as we speak."...

(22,651 posts)also in wiki- Moore was known to be very strict. Some of his soldiers gave him the derogatory nickname "Captain America", due to his attitude toward discipline. This role earned him enemies, and in his autobiography he recalls sleeping on sandbags to avoid a grenade or bomb being tossed under his cot, as many of his men had threatened him with fragging.[19]

(35,699 posts)Yes, because of course a mother has the right to pimp her daughter to a man twice her age.
Not to mention that, according to at least one of the girls, Moore took pains to hide what he was doing from the parents.
