Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRoy Moore trolled custody disputes to find vulnerable daughters of broken families.
Notice, as many DUer's have pointed out, he didn't ask father for permission to date their daughters.
This is how sick and predatory this guy was. He hung out at h.s. pep rallies and ball games, and he likely sat in the back at court custody disputes to find vulnerable young girls who have just lost a father.
Much more will come out soon.

(5,547 posts)guilty or not. They dont care. They slip between outright denial (Moore never did it / fake news), it was cultural at the time (but Elvis!), and acknowledging that he may have did it but saying that a Democrat in office would be worse.
It wont matter what he did. They dont care.

But the fact that he pick up the 14-year old in such a manner andthe fact that he said he would ask permission of the mothers (not fathers) and his job suggest this.
He was a prowling predator!

(4,533 posts)Teresa D Jones, now a prominent attorney in Sarasota Florida, worked in the district attorney's office with Roy back then She says they all knew he dated high school girls and that they all found it weird. They also found it weird that he went to high school football games and strolled through the mall. Teenage girls commonly meet at malls and that is no doubt why he went there. He has not denied the claim on one girl he met at the mall when she was 14 working as a Santa's elf. She says when she turned 16 he asked her out. Her mother says she told Roy he was too old, that they should not rob the cradle. This attorney who has been listed as a "superlawyer" in her field every year in Florida since they started that list in 2006 says she is convinced that the claims made are true and she has called on all members of the bar with knowledge about Roy back then to speak out about what they remember.

And when he squirmed on one answer, Hannity said "I certainly wouldn't want a 32 yr old dating MY 14 yr old daughter"; or something to that effect. I think the closest he got was "that doesn't sound like anything I'd do at that time"
Ugh
I don't like that one of the women has hired Gloria Allred though. Thats not good for appearances at all, IMO. She's a publicity hound lawyer

(4,533 posts)I saw several conservative women on TV refer to her press conference as compelling. And Moore has threatened to sue his accusers so having legal representation from the start is probably a good idea. Gloria builds a big audience and probably works for free in cases like this, knowing the publicity will bring her other fee paying clients.

Cicada
(4,533 posts)But by stupidly calling them liars he has allowed one to sue him even tho the statute of limitations for assault has expired. She has subpoenaed all records of the Trump campaign related to claims of sexual assault, to prove a pattern. Moore will know not to sue.

(1,825 posts)My mother was very careful about where we went and who we were with.
I thought she was very overprotective, until I was almost 15 and took up tennis.
I started playing with friend and her father and then my friend and I started playing almost every night.
There was another man that hung around the courts. He was known to my friends father so I didn't think anything of it. Nice at first and then got uncomfortable and then really uncomfortable. Nothing ever happened but we were uncomfortable to talk to my friends father.
He had 'words' with him. And then we noticed a cop car driving by once or twice while we were playing. every night.
I just remember that the guy was very nice at first and then all of a sudden it was creepy.
I can see how it happens to young girls. And what happens if that creep is a man of authority in town?
We were believed. There were 2 of us. And an adult protected us.
