maybe it didn't, but there should be a more recent trail unless he stopped. I believe the women, but it's strange that he must have stopped.

stop. Perhaps he was threatened, or as I say is now impotent.

A victim made it real. Reconstructing that will be hard, but not impossible.

A victim went to the authorities. Moore was alerted by his coworkers. The problem was disappeared.

From then Moore then got his weird with his wife, or in international travel (speculation).

He sounds way to intense, driven and obsessed sexually to just stop cold.
Yes he had the money to travel for child sex.

His wife wouldn't fill the bill. He likes young teens.

about international satisfaction.

On the other hand, it's a very good explanation that Roy was very caught and was facing consequences when he stopped.

Child sex trade in some of the asian countries.

ripped his nuts off if he had done that to me. So I think it is likely some high school boyfriends or girls' fathers had enough of his predatory behavior and threatened him.

And brothers might have meted out some rough justice.

Accordingly, then decided to troll elsewhere - as mentioned above.

Dating much younger women (girls), especially teens, is about power and control, sex would not necessarily be how he gets off.

and/or when.

I lock up my silver. It really was a metaphor for ny fear of the holier than thou - they always have something to hide. I never trust people who wear religion as a loud and vulgar badge

Blow hards no matter their shtick are trouble.

most loudly religious people violate religious doctrines routinely.

They're above needing to? I don't know. But I've never personally known someone prone to extremism who wasn't dishonest and untrustworthy by everyday standards. Dishonesty required to set aside all information that contradicts what they want to believe, and they march to their own supremely righteous drumbeat that justifies all their behaviors.

This is a big part of what's happened to the Republican Party--dark money powers, who also wanted to move the nation strongly right, found extremists useful for destroying traditional institutions and had a bunch of them elected to office.

postings about "The Judge" that I had read - someone posted something about an old saying: (and I'm paraphrasing it because I don't have the time to go back and find it! )
"When someone is complaining about somebody doing" something - go back and find where they had done the same!"

Or, as I saw in a Monty Python film: "Let he that is without sin cast the first stone!"

and now here comes the truth

I love the smell of hypocrites being exposed in public

At long last.

"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons."

Perfect

an ad or website, I immediately cross that business off my list. To me, it's a red flag.

Run!

I doubt his wife was very enthusiastic about him hanging around the mall pestering high school girls. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more incidents, though, maybe with co-workers (if any of them were young enough).

on. He would scope out girls at the mall and go after them.

#MeToo

and began concentrating on ruining everyone's lives, not just teenage girls.

But am not sure religion stops predators. It can make it easier for them to hide.

They can see from a mile away, that he is a dirty old man.

But is there any evidence to support this assumption?

Yes there is evidence to support a pattern of behavior in sexual predators. There is also strong supporting evidence of the witness.

Except when they are jailed.

until he was married...maybe. More women will come forward. Count on it.

Welcome to DU!

there will be more grief put on them.
What tremendous courage these victims are showing for others - and their country.

I bow to them. They are sheroes!

Perhaps this could be a serious, monumental time-changing moment when the rights of ALL will be acknowledged and people will understand what it is to be a "victim" - the rights of ALL will be declared and defended.
If that is to be the case, then special "THANKS!" to "the Judge" for being such an asshole and kicking off a great explosion of national awareness and allowing people of courage to stake their claim on the great human rights of all people!

...just petered out.

Well, he's no genius, but he's not a complete dumbass either.

As he got older, and realized that he had a shot at higher positions, he was at least smart enough to realize that shit like this could come back to haunt him. So, he got his act together. I have no doubt that he's still a scumbag on the inside, but he's probably been a really, really, careful scumbag for the last 25 years.

..... was much higher young to middle age.
As he got older he saw the return on his investment of the amount of time devoted to making a score with teenaged girls was longer and longer. As people became well aware what he was up to he needed less scrutiny or he was about to get bagged. The more people that were on to him the more attention his addiction got.

Father time caught up to him, as he aged and his libido subsided it was no longer worth the risk and danger to himself physically or to his career.

I wonder if during his 40's and 50's if he found God and dabbled in youth buy-bull studies or youth church adviser or some capacity as a youth chaperon. Did he use God and church as a motif to connect with young girls, but all under the guise of finding religion ?

The guy is a sick puppy - real evil resides within him - he is not the saint he professes to be to the world. This guy should come to terms with his daemons before he chastises and criticizes anyone else.

He needs to take a step back and heal himself - but not in the UNITED STATES SENATE.

It is no wonder his professor called him "Mr. Fruit Salad" - Roy Moore was as welcomed and admired as much as a 32 year old fruitcake proverbially regifted again and again come Xmas time. An odd duck looking for trouble - a closet pedophile and not so shy about it.

Easier at 32 than at 42 or 52.

At some point, he would have to stop trying his usual scam.

They were married in 1988.

Women at the second diner say that he was after young girls and women seven years after he married. The guy is a predator, I would bet there are more recent victims who are terrified of coming forward and who can blame them after what happened to the first women that came forward.

when he realized it would probably cost him his marriage, his job, his standing in the church, etc. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out he regularly went to Atlanta or some other city to go with prostitutes - possibly just very young looking ones, or maybe actual underage girls.

revelations.

He's a pedophile. He might still be fighting the urge everyday. So to deal with it, he turns to extreme fundamentalism. He wants to force that on others because he probably thinks the rest of us are as sick as he is. Guess what? I'm (generally) a good person even without the 10 commandments posted up at my house. But it might be literally the only thing keeping him from molesting someone new. SMH.

by the WA Post) doesn't mean there weren't additional victims.

people the victims confided in at the time.

Went from girls that hang out at malls to closeted, deeply religious girls that are more likely to show deference to him and also keep their mouth shut. If one comes out, he is done. Predators don't stop.

I hope some of his recent victims show courage while that display seriously matters.

There are adults (18 yo) who look much younger who do porn.
It's not child porn, but they are advertised as "Teen girls".

Cleaned up his act locally, and went elsewhere to pick up girls anonymously. He probably had to pay for them anyway, once he got past a certain age.

We know that in poor countries...they sell their kids for sex (hell it has happened here ).

Although I suspect he only likes them lily white. There may have been more frequent trips closer to home, but out of state where he'd be unlikely to be recognized. Atlanta and Nashville come to mind.

That has always been the sec tourism destination of choice for those who like children.

And my experience growing up is the racists of his stripe would date a black or Hispanic woman but are fine with Asian or native.

... But he probably didn't stop.

He could have continued forhttps://www.democraticunderground.com/10141913511 years, or still be doing it.

He had more to lose.

It's harder to go after young girls when you are in the public eye. When your whole shtick is Bible thumping and Jeezus praising, getting caught with an undressed 14 year old is a career killer.

In his mind he probably chalks that whole period of his life to "sowing his wild oats".

Girls from his church where he is a big shot, young friends of any daughters that he has. People like him just don't stop cold turkey.

It took the women who did come forward decades of silence, a national environment where women are coming forward in large numbers to name their assaulter's, and even then for investigative journalists to hear the rumors and follow up on them. Even then, other victims are likely seeing the way their fellow Alabamians are reacting and I doubt that is giving them courage to come forth themselves.

Younger women aren't as likely to have the financial and social security that these women have. They might be hanging on day to day at the jobs they are in and are afraid they will lose their job if they come forth. If they are homemakers, they may fear for their husbands employment. They may be more dependent on family members whom they know are staunch Moore supporters.

There's also more sinister possibilities. What's his travel history to countries that are known to be more permissive of human trafficking? Is there a currently un-linked chain of teen female unsolved disappearances in Alabama that circumstantially started in the years after these ladies were assaulted? It's very clear that as DA and judge he wielded a lot of power, and acted with impunity.

If he can scare girls into silence as a DA, imagine the silence he can command as a judge.

Being married?

Having a scare?

He may actually have rationalized his sickness as okay because he stopped when he took on the bonds of matrimony, or some stupid shit like that.

to come. Or internal polling that proves there isn't a prayer Moore will win.

I'm beginning to wonder if the coming elections are going to be honest.

However, I’d love the FBI to get a look at his computer. It’s possible with the advent of the internet he changed how he got his jollies.
