Misogyny is rampant! Hypocrisy is rampant!
Roy, you cannot say you did not know the girl when her mother was at the courthouse the day you molested her daughter! THE MOTHER WAS THERE ROY! Denying you knew the girl or the mother proves you are willing to lie. If you are willing to lie about knowing, what else will you lie about?
A fourteen year old (14!) is afraid of a 32 year old man, and would likely bury the molestation in her memory as best she could. Of course she might never come forward and that is what predatory men expect, and hope for.
"Roy Moore says he doesn't know woman who made sexual misconduct claims"
As the Republican Senate nominee faces pressure to leave the race, he denies the allegations in an interview and claims he’s the victim of a conspiracy

Of course a Judge knows how to weasel word a response to the charges and confuse any prosecution effort. Moore has seen enough court cases to attack the victim.
"Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32"
By Stephanie McCrummen, Beth Reinhard and Alice Crites 9 November 2017
"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.
It was early 1979 and Moore — now the Republican nominee in Alabama for a U.S. Senate seat — was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. He struck up a conversation, Corfman and her mother say, and offered to watch the girl while her mother went inside for a child custody hearing.
“He said, ‘Oh, you don’t want her to go in there and hear all that. I’ll stay out here with her,’ ” says Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71. “I thought, how nice for him to want to take care of my little girl.”"
More.
"Two of Corfman’s childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore. Wells says her daughter told her about the encounter more than a decade later, as Moore was becoming more prominent as a local judge."
"Locals Were Troubled by Roy Moore’s Interactions with Teen Girls at the Gadsden Mall"
By Charles Bethea November 13, 2017
"This past weekend, I spoke or messaged with more than a dozen people—including a major political figure in the state—who told me that they had heard, over the years, that Moore had been banned from the mall because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls. Some say that they heard this at the time, others in the years since. These people include five members of the local legal community, two cops who worked in the town, several people who hung out at the mall in the early eighties, and a number of former mall employees. "
Maybe Steve Bannon better find a new candidate to support and recognize he is helping a child predator get into the Senate?
Going after the victim with a vengeance! Isn't the correct tact to let the facts roll out before we declare who is guilty of what? In sexual assault cases the victims are intimidated to begin with and piling on a person victimized at age 14 (That is FOURTEEN (14) years old!) seems a bit ludicrous!, stupid, ill advised at best,
"Roy Moore’s Supporters Stand by Their Candidate, Despite Sexual-Assault Allegations"
By Charles Bethea November 9, 2017
"In 1979, according to a new report from the Washington Post, Roy Moore, then a thirty-two-year-old assistant district attorney in Alabama, brought a fourteen-year-old girl, Leigh Corfman, to his home and sexually molested her. Three additional women told the Post that Moore, who is now the Republican nominee in Alabama for the U.S. Senate, had pursued them when they were in their mid-to-late teens and he was in his early thirties, though they do not allege that these encounters led to sexual contact. The accounts in the Post were strongly corroborated: Corfman’s mother confirmed that Corfman had discussed the incident with her; two childhood friends confirmed that Corfman “told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says that Corfman identified the man as Moore.”"
"The Daily 202: As Roy Moore declines to step aside, a tale of two Republican parties emerges"
By James Hohmann By James Hohmann November 10
"THE BIG IDEA: The reactions to the allegation that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl when he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney have highlighted deep divisions within the Republican Party and underscored the growing tribalism that has infected the nation’s politics."
Tribalism and hypocrisy is more evident every day in America. We are a diseased nation, losing our moral compass, and debasing America's ideals and vision of justice and fairness for all.
"The appalling and entirely predictable GOP reaction to Roy Moore’s accusers"
By Jennifer Rubin November 10, 2017
"Elected Republicans generally reacted in one of two ways to The Post’s deeply sourced report of one women who describes being kissed and fondled by now-GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore when she was 14 years old and reports by three other women who tell about inappropriate advances by Moore when they were teens. Tragically, one of the ways was not, “This is an abomination. We believe the accounts of four separate women and corroborating evidence. He must immediately withdraw from the race. If he does not and somehow manages to win we will not permit him to caucus with Republicans. No party advantage or political boost should be derived from the election of someone credibly reported to behave in this manner. Had we known about this we would never have countenanced his run.”
Instead, a slew of U.S. senators said he should leave if the allegations were “true.” This is a shameful dodge. They need to assess whether to believe Moore, who denies the charges (this from someone twice removed from the bench), or the painful, detailed recollections of his accusers. What’s it going to be fellas?"
The "good old boys" are circling the wagons to defend the Judge!
Here is the worst defense of Moore!!!!!! ->>>> see this quote!
"And that was not the worst of it. Alabama Republicans uttered despicable defenses of Moore:
“Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus,” Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler told The Washington Examiner. “There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual.”
Actually, the conduct described by the 14-year-old is both illegal and immoral. (It’s not clear whether the other accounts describe a crime or “just” deeply inappropriate and immoral conduct.)"
But for the Bible-thumping Republicans who bring in their religion, the whole point of the immaculate conception is that Jesus NEVER TOUCHED MARY! Jesus was a baby born of a VIRGIN! It is in the Catholic CREED!
No one could have said anything more wrong, more stupid, more sickening, more hypocritical, and more against being a human being.
"State Rep. Ed Henry: Roy Moore is 'victim' in allegations"
By Paul Gattis around 8, 9 Nov 2017
http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2017/11/state_rep_ed_henry_roy_moore_i.html
"State Rep. Ed Henry, a staunch supporter of Roy Moore's Senate campaign, said Friday he believes that Moore is the victim after being accused of sexual misconduct by a then-14-year-old girl.
And the four women who gave accounts of their encounters with Moore from the late 1970s to the early 1980s when they were in their teens and Moore was in his 30s are accomplices to any crime Moore may have committed.
The Washington Post on Thursday reported that Moore - then in his early 30s -- had a sexual encounter with 14-year-old Leigh Corfman in 1979 in Etowah County.
Corfman's attorney told AL.com that she stands by the comments she made to The Post."
And here it is, the blame the victim mentality that is so incredibly out of touch he might as well be living in a cave:
""There are going to be instances where men and women make accusations like this where the accuser is the victim and then there are going to be instances where the accused is the victim," Henry, R-Hartselle, said in an interview Friday with AL.com. "I believe, in this instance, the accused is the victim.""
""If anybody knows of a crime that there's a predator out there and you sit back and wait for 40 years to say anything about it and let those kinds of things happen, then you should be as guilty as they are for allowing that to occur," Henry said. "With things like the Bill Cosby incident where they paid people to be quiet, those people who were paid, to me, are as guilty as he was and should be prosecuted."
Note how Henry is accidentally saying Roy Moore must be guilty!
Amazing! Here's his final thought:
""And if these women truly believe that Roy Moore is a sexual predator, then they are equally as guilty for allowing a sexual predator to be out there for 40 years."
Henry was asked what crimes should the accusers be charged with.
"I never said these women should be prosecuted on the face of what they've done," he said. "If these women were, for 40 years, had protected a sexual predator, they should be accomplices to whatever crimes have been committed. If you know somebody, murdered somebody 40 years ago and you didn't say anything about it, you should be an accomplice to that crime. You have helped cover it up. You have helped keep it from going.""
You cannot unsay your stupid Mr. Henry. You are officially on record as one the many male defenders of sexual assault.
