Roy Moore accused of sexual contact with 14-year old

[Cow Poke]

Sexual abuse by 'men of power' has a long history. It is only in the past ten or more years that people have been coming forward in large numbers. ...

Paula Jones, Juanita Broadrick, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers, Dolly Kyle Browning, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Sally Perdue....
But, hey - the "man in power" was a Democrat, so....

. . . sorry for the typo it is Roy Moore

. . . because simply the victims feel empowered by others that they are not coming out alone as when they faced the abuse in the past alone.

I gave an example when the testimony against Judge Thomas was ignored, and the accuser faced abuse. She was widely accused of lying.

I have a real problem when the abuse by Roy Moore, and others in the entertainment industry was widely known, and nothing was done at the time. I am also concerned by response by the community at large. There is abundant evidence that the abuse of Roy Moore and others was known at the time in their community. The victims are being treated terribly now even though they are not alone.

The problem remains; 'What do you do now with Roy Moore other than abusing the victims?'

How is it "abusing the victims" to ask them to back up their allegations. And why is it wrong to question the motives? That's one of the key elements of testimony.

The abusing the victims goes beyond this in the real world. As with Weinstein they were alone with the abuser. It is the numbers and supporting evidence that is relevant. Roy Moore's associates have testified that they knew of the problem.

There is a growing number conservatives in Congress that have come out and support the victims and believe the women, and believe the supporting testimony.

The basis is actual testimony by the victims. The other testimony is only supporting evidence. There is reliable testimony of associates of Roy Moore that they knew of the problem.

There are two alleged victims, and the latter's press conference was like a SNL skit. Allred couldn't even remember his name.

Sexual abuse by 'men of power' has a long history. It is only in the past ten or more years that people have been coming forward in large numbers. The first wide spread abuse to be revealed was by priests and Bishops of the Roman Church. I believe the current trend of women coming forward was inspired by those coming, and testifying against 'men of power' in the the entertainment industry, and the flood gates opened.

Are you or were you a man of power Shuny? Could you provide us with a list of women you have molested throughout your career? Thanks.

Unfortunately, it looks like Roy Moore was far less than admirable, particularly in the early part of his career, but this just looks so much like "me too" stuff. All of the attention has switched from the hollywood cesspool to Roy Moore.

Good job, liberals!

All these accusations came before 1992 when Judge Moore was still a Democrat - that explains a lot...

Maybe he got a pass back then, and somebody finally figured out - hey, he switched sides, he's fair game now!!!
