New Allegations Surface Against Moore As His Campaign Tries To Discredit An Accuser
Three new accusers have come forward against Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, adding to mounting allegations of sexual misconduct against teen girls when Moore was in his 30s.
The Washington Post, which broke the initial allegations against Moore last week, reported late Wednesday that Moore approached Gena Richardson when she was a high-schooler working at Sears and asked for her phone number. She declined to give it to him, and he later called her at school to ask her out. She ultimately relented, "feeling both nervous and flattered," the Post reports. Their movie date ended "with Moore driving her to her car in a dark parking lot behind Sears and giving her what she called an unwanted, 'forceful' kiss that left her scared."
Richardson's account was corroborated by Kayla McLaughlin, a classmate and co-worker who also said Moore pursued her and other teenage girls who worked at the Gadsden Mall. Phyllis Smith, who worked at a clothing store in the mall when she was 18, told the Post that teenage girls working at the mall told each other to "just make yourself scarce when Roy's in here, he's just here to bother you, don't pay attention to him and he'll go away."
AL.com has reported that Moore was known to cruise for young girls at the local mall in his hometown of Gadsden. A man who worked at the mall in the early 1980s told CNN that Moore had been banned from the mall because "he was bothering girls in the mall."

(5 posts)Surely the result of these allegations should be to push for him to be :
1) Disbarred
2) Arrested and tried
Letting a murderer roam free doesn't make anyone safe

It was a figure of speech. If you've been thrown off the Supreme court due to your actions and your beliefs are antithetical to what you expect of your elected officials , surely you should ensure that such people aren't able to ascend to the highest offices?

(57,537 posts)whats the statute of limitation on sexually assaulting a minor whether she was "willing" or not?
It seems like Weinstein and Spacey may find out, maybe Moore will find out, too.
