http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/roy-moores-pastor-ally-says-he-dated-teens-because-of-their-purityBy CAMERON JOSEPH Published NOVEMBER 21, 2017 4:55 PM
A prominent right-wing preacher who appeared alongside Senate candidate Roy Moore at a campaign rally just days ago said that Moore dated teen girls because of their purity and because when he got back from Vietnam there werent any women his age left to date.
Pastor Flip Benham told a local Alabama radio show on Monday that there was nothing wrong with Moore dating teenage girls.
Judge Roy Moore graduated from West Point and then went on into the service, served in Vietnam and then came back and was in law school. All of the ladies, or many of the ladies that he possibly could have married were not available then, they were already married, maybe, somewhere. So he looked in a different direction and always with the [permission of the] parents of younger ladies. By the way, the lady hes married to now, Ms. Kayla, was a younger woman, Benham said on WAPI 99.5 FM Monday evening. He did that because there is something about a purity of a young woman, there is something that is good, thats true, thats straight and he looked for that.
Moore himself has strenuously denied accusations from multiple women that he made inappropriate sexual advances on them when they were teens including one who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old and another who says he initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was just 14.

(12,321 posts)Roy Moore has/had a fetish for ruining young ladies' purity, for his own selfish perversion.
I'm thinking Jesus wouldn't think much of what Roy Moore "accomplished".

There was then and still is great variety in women of that age group: the claim, that all women were either married or impure, is some bizarre mash-up of a whore-madonna fantasy with the well-known inept lament "The good ones are all taken!"
And it's a really strange excuse for assaulting girls
