As is so often the case, once victims of a sexual predator begin to come forward, others that knew Alabama Republican senate candidate Roy Moore during the time he is accused of sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl are coming forward to back up the women who have come forward.
Former deputy district attorney Teresa Jones worked closely with Moore, and says it was "common knowledge" that Moore, then in his thirties, dated high school girls.
“It was common knowledge that Roy dated high school girls. Everyone we knew thought it was weird,” former Etowah County deputy district attorney Teresa Jones told CNN national correspondent Alexander Marquardt. “We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall. But you really wouldn’t say anything to someone like that.”
That Moore's colleagues remember him for frequenting locations where he could expect to meet teenaged girls fits the profile of a predator. As a reminder, Moore is not merely accused of "dating" teenaged girls, but of assaulting a junior high school student who he first met at the courthouse during her mother's child custody hearing.
Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.
Roy Moore should never become a U.S. Senator. Send $3 to Doug Jones to help defeat him.
