Accusations of sexual impropriety is what the liberal left does best. Hearsay is fine with them, just as long as the accusation is placed upon their opponents and the public believes it's true - despite any lack of evidence. To the party of the donkey, it doesn't matter how long ago the accusation was, just as long as the message of misogyny and disrespect for women is planted into the minds of the voters. The narrative that Republicans are women-hating monsters is a part of the Democrat Party strategy. It also plays upon one of Saul Alinsky's tactics.
“The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” ~ Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals
If it is assumed that since the opposition is unable to live up to their own rules, from the point of view of the liberal left Democrats the Republicans are probably guilty of whatever they accuse them of, anyway. So, let the accusations fly, hope for evidence (which, in the minds of the Democrats, likely exists), but even if there is no evidence, the mere idea that a Republican has been accused of being a sexual predator is a good thing because in the end it can only hurt them in the ballot box.
The accusation against Judge Roy Moore, who will be facing off in in a special election coming up this December with Democrat Doug Jones for the Alabama United States Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, is regarding an instance that allegedly occurred nearly forty years ago with a fourteen year old girl, Leigh Corfman.
Doug Jones is already doing what he can to try to discredit Judge Moore, accusing the GOP candidate of refusing to debate him. The media, as always, is taking the war against Moore a few steps further, seeking out Corfman to get her to make this accusation, and then reporting it as some kind of blockbuster "campaign killing" piece of news in the Washington Post.
The report goes on to state that Moore chatted with the young teenage girl, and asked for her phone number. Days later, the story alleges, "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."
Judge Roy Moore says the accusations of sexual misconduct are false.

The story goes on to indicated that the girl remembers thinking, "I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” yet in the very next paragraph it states that Corfman told childhood friends she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore.
The contradiction is overwhelming. Did she want the alleged affair over with, or was she proud of it? The contradiction is typical, when it comes to liars who can't seem to get their story straight.
The mother of Corfman states her daughter took a decade to tell her about it.
Other women sought out by The Washington Post have also indicated Moore "pursued them" when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s. None of the women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.
Are these women lying? Did they misinterpret kindness for sexual interest? Or did Judge Roy Moore truly step over the line regarding his relationships with teenage girls?

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore, now 70, said.
The campaign said in a subsequent statement that if the allegations were true they would have surfaced during his previous campaigns, adding “this garbage is the very definition of fake news.”
Corfman claims to be a GOP voter.

Corfman never filed a police report or a civil suit.
She says she preferred not to share her story before because of the trouble in her life. Her teen years following meeting Moore, according to Corfman, was plagued by drinking and other troubles, and as an adult she has had three divorces, financial problems (including bankruptcies), and legal problems that includes driving a boat without lights.

The whole thing reminds me of a saying. Sometimes the truth can be elusive, and there is often three versions of every story. What he said, what she said, and what really happened.
That said, with the history of the liberal left Democrats doing what they can to slam their opponents with things like accusations of sexual misconduct (rather than simply trying to debate the issues), and with Moore's history of defending the Ten Commandments and Christian ideals, we really have an either/or here. Either, the accusations by these women are exactly the same as the ones that surfaced during the campaign of Donald J. Trump - full of crap, or Judge Roy Moore has a dark side of his life and now it is trying to catch up to him. I believe the former is the truth, but in the end, only Judge Roy Moore knows the complete truth about what has happened in his life, and what goes on in his head.
