Lib Media Accuses AL Republican Roy Moore of Illicit Advances on 14-Yr-Old in 1979 – 4 Decades Ago => Moore Denies Charges
Alabama Judge Roy Moore won the Republican senate primary to replace Jeff Sessions in September.
Judge Moore is a conservative favorite. Establishment Republicans fear him.
On Thursday the far left Washington Post accused Judge Moore of dating a 14 year-old girl in 1979.
Leigh Corfman says she was 14 years old when an older man approached her outside a courtroom in Etowah County, Ala. She was sitting on a wooden bench with her mother, they both recall, when the man introduced himself as Roy Moore.
It was early 1979 and Moore — now the Republican nominee in Alabama for a U.S. Senate seat — was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. He struck up a conversation, Corfman and her mother say, and offered to watch the girl while her mother went inside for a child custody hearing.
“He said, ‘Oh, you don’t want her to go in there and hear all that. I’ll stay out here with her,’ ” says Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71. “I thought, how nice for him to want to take care of my little girl.”
Judge Moore denied the accusations and blamed the seedy Democrat Party in Alabama.
The Heavy reported:
“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign.” Moore also called the story “the very definition fake news.”
According to the Code of Alabama 1975 list of rules (Section 13A-6-69.1) it was a crime to have sex with a minor 12 or under.
In Parks v. State, 565 So. 2d 1265 (Ala. Crim. App. 1990), the Court interpreted the language of the statute, declaring that “a female 16 years of age is technically not a “child,” but is one capable of consenting to sexual intercourse.”
The legal age of consent was later raised to 16 in Alabama.
