I already know that he is not very mature based on his religious beliefs and much of his politics.The question is why should we believe he has matured since then in any way.
So it seems like it was a consensual relationship, and the only thing wrong was that she was a year and a half or so younger than the arbitrary legal threshold. Looking at the age of consent map, it looks like the young prosecutor and even younger Miss Leigh would have been fine in much of Latin America and even Europe. And as far as the other two girls, they were legal, so no problem there.
It is also predicated on the woman telling the entire truth. I am not saying she is lying, but we do not know one way of the other. She could also be mostly telling the truth, but embellishing key points, such as her level of aggressiveness.
This #metoo nonsense is putting Democrats in danger of becoming more puritan than Republicans. Everything is "harassment" or "assault" these days.
Well, I don't know about that. Since when has an out of control witch hunt based on spurious and unconfirmed allegations been any kind of danger?

Roy Moore was a pedophile. Suck it up. It is going to be interesting to watch this unfold and if it will sink the old bastard's election effort. That will be December 12. How much sleaze will the Alabama electorate tolerate?
To be fair, nowhere in the Ten Commandments does it say that thou shalt not to put a 14 year old's hand on thy boner. So, you can't really fault him.

The 14 year old's story sounds very credible. Friends recalled her talking about it at the time, which is as much confirmation as you can expect in such a case.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/inve...f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?utm_term=.983eb655644aTwo 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.
Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older. None of the three women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.

I suspect he rapped himself in his religious beliefs to shield him from his baser instincts.

The spaceman is watching all the boners and vaginas. Creepy, I know.
Someone defended Moore by saying that an older Joseph and a younger Mary made Jesus. So there.

I thought the whole point was that Joseph never touched her?
On the other hand, Yahweh was infinitely older than Mary; Now that's what you would call an unreasonable age gap.
He gave the 18 year old wine when legal drinking limit was 19. Not terrible but he was trying to get her drunk so she couldn't think straight...

Hey, what guy in his mid 30ies hasn't plied an underage cheerleader with cheap wine to try to take advantage of her?
Oh, shucks, I haven't. I'm in my 50s now.He gave the 18 year old wine when legal drinking limit was 19. Not terrible but he was trying to get her drunk so she couldn't think straight...

I know you're joking but... I'm not saying that it isn't something people have or have not done or how often or even judging, though maybe I should be or maybe not, but this guy has built himself up on reputation of morality, prudishness, the rule of law, marital fidelity, chastity, abstinence, and other alleged conservative bedrock principles. So hypocrisy ought to be pointed out. If one looks at his other behaviors, too, like his treatment of lesbian woman when he was a judge, it's clear why there is a logical inconsistency. It's always clear with conservatives--being conservative is most often usually not really about being what conservatives allege, but instead about protecting the power structure, the hierarchy. This is also why the most conservative of his followers will also forsake principles to protect him.
I think it's highly likely that Moore will end up in the Senate despite any level of proof that he's a child molester.

Ya, that's the thing. It truly doesn't matter. He just needs to spend a month saying "fake news" and "liberal witch hunt" and his margin of victory will go from 10 points to 15 points, no matter what the evidence is or how many half-eaten children's skulls are found in his fridge.

Nothingburger. It's not like the guy hasn't done plenty of despicable shit that is already public nollidge.

Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. A 14 year old is far from being prepubescent.Pedophilia is a "nothingburger"?
Wow, that's quite a bit of mental gymnastics to justify pedophilia. Doesn't your brain hurt after all that leaping and contorting?
