Re: Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

I am not going to argue that 30 year olds dating teens isn't a bit creepy. But it wasn't nearly as creepy 50 years ago. And remember, we are talking about Alabama here too.

It's more than "a little bit creepy." It's statutory rape, and there's no statute of limitations for that crime in Alabama.

Criminal Cases for Sexual Abuse

Criminal cases are filed by the State of Alabama on behalf of a victim. In order to file criminal charges, you must notify law enforcement of the sexual abuse. The authorities will investigate your claims and a prosecutor may file charges against your abuser. If a suspect is found guilty of criminal conduct, he or she may be sentenced to significant jail time and sex offender registration.

Although the civil SOL is very short, Alabama gives prosecutors a lot of time to file violent or childhood sexual abuse charges. The criminal statutes of limitations vary depending on the severity of the offense. The criminal statutes of limitations include:

No statute of limitations: rape, violent sexual abuse, sexual abuse with the threat of violence, and any sexual abuse of a victim under the age of 16,
Other felony sexual abuse: three years, and
Misdemeanor abuse: one year.

Per the definition of as to whether this applies, Alabama law seems to be pretty clear that it does.

Shows a pattern of behavior even if some of that behavior was technically legal.

Using the authority of 'distract attorney' in exchange for sexual favors is molestation, period.

Obviously he believes it to be OK because Moore is GOP.
If the girls families are Democrats, Fletch will surely celebrate.

The cockroaches are scurrying away from your rancid corner of Hell.
We can all see that easily.

Fletch says child molestation is acceptable.
Nice.

Anger, immaturity and dishonesty. Congrats. You hit the trifecta.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that was illegal in Bama during the 1970's.
 
Re: Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

As I said, the 14 year old could be a problem for him. Not sure what the charges would be on the other three other than creepiness.

For the 14 year old it's statutory rape, for the others it's a portrait of his character.
 
Re: Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

Sounds to me like you are the hypocrite here. Molestation is molestation is molestation. .. and using a public office for an exchange for sexual favors is sexual molestation no matter what age.

What was hypocritical in my initial question? Perhaps you might look up the word before using it. Second, did he 'use his public office in exchange for sexual favors?' Where did you see that?

The more moral and upright persona one tries to project the moore likely they have depraved **** they're trying to hide.

Two words: Charlie Sheen.

Not if you were 16 it wasn't.

Guess he should be glad that at least Moore went after underage girls. The men in the GOP have the tendency to go after the boys.

To be honest...really not surprised that a holier than though bible thumper has sexual issues.

Seems to disproportionately affect the party of “family values!”

It tells us what he was like in his 30's--immature and creepy. He is in his 70's now. And hes still an odd and creepy guy.

I don't think Charlie was trying to hide his depravity.
 
Re: Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

I'm confused...the article states he's 32 when he started his "relationship" with the 14 year old. Did I read that wrong?

You did not.

No. But there are two different issues here. One is the charges of the 14 year old. The other three mentioned were of legal age at the time.

Disgusted with people like you.
Unlike you, mature people find crimes, especially sexual crimes, against children horrific.
Honest people admit their improper words and actions when caught.
Weasels like you try and avoid personal accountability.
You deserve the disdain you are getting.
Own your misdeeds. Don’t lie about them.

Certain people here are impossible to have a discussion with. You seem to fall squarely into that category. Your accusations against me are completely false. I have no 'misdeeds' to own, no 'improper words' to admit, and no 'personal accountability' to try and avoid. Your posts are nothing but lies and smears because you have no ability to discuss this, or likely any issue, rationally.

Gosh, how utterly surprising that a rabidly fundamentalist social conservative would have a history of sexual depravity and criminal activity. Who could have guessed?

Totally didn't see THAT coming.

When has Charlie Sheen EVER been held up as moral and upright? Hell, for most of his career, he’s been barely upright.
