why should they be believed and not moore? how about when all the women came forward when clinton was running for president in 1992? why were they not to be believed?

or is it that when allegations of sexual harassment are made against liberals, the women are lying, but when they are made against conservatives they are telling the truth?
Moore's interview was as close to an admission as one could hope to get. Admitting that "generally no" if he dated teens and that he asked their mothers if he could date these girls show a profoundly disturbed individual. Yes, a vote for him is a vote for a perv, but Repubs and Trumpist seem fine with that. I can understand Bannon's support because he is a creep. For the rest of you, take it up with your conscience.

Moore has been reported as being known for dating young girls, so how common was this for him? If he was known then somewhere is there a covey of younger girls who were happy with the experience and, like Mary, kept these things in their heart?
Another thing that the Leftist media fail to mention is that (and my wife pointed this out) in the South it is quite common for boys to ask the parents permission to take a girl out. Moore has said he asked permission, yet the "mainstream" media seem to think there is something weird or not believable about this.

Age is somewhat meaningless at some point. A lot of women marry older men, especially these days. It's more common than most people think.

In this age of social media and easy access to people's personal information no one wants this kind of attention. I would imagine this has turned these women's lives upside down, and not in a good way.

The rest of your post is just more of your usual blame the victims routine, not worth the effort to even quote.

I'm still wondering how, at 32, he was a DA? He must have still been pretty green as a lawyer.

Assistant DAs are common jobs out of law school.

A wonderful article discussing why supporters of Moore still support him. The best (or maybe worst) part is the discussion of party leaders in Alabama who still support Roy Moore even if these allegations were true. It’s just a glimpse into the depraved mindset of his apologists, including those who post here. You have to wonder how many if his most vocal apologists are doing the same thing to teenagers...

The fact that this thread exists at all should answer the question of why women are scared to come forward about sexual assault.

Moderators should just make this thread a sticky, since every other day some other celebrity comes out with allegations of sexual abuse/harassment.

Just yesterday it was this:
