    New woman accuses Roy Moore of sexual assault when she was a minor

    Beverly Young Nelson said Monday that the alleged incident occurred in 1977, when she was a 16-year-old waitress in a Gadsden, Ala., restaurant where Moore, then 30, was a regular customer and would often flirt with her.

    A week or two later, Nelson said, she was waiting to get a ride home from work from her boyfriend, who was late, when Moore offered to drive her. Nelson said that Moore groped her in his car without her consent. When she told him to stop, Nelson said Moore squeezed the back of her neck and tried to force her head “onto his crotch.”

    “I was terrified,” Nelson said in a detailed statement delivered at a press conference in New York City, where she was introduced to reporters by her lawyer, Gloria Allred. “I thought that he was going to rape me.”

    Nelson said that at some point Moore gave up and warned her not to tell anyone about the encounter.

    “He then looked at me and said, ‘You are a child. I am the district attorney,’” Nelson recalled. “If you tell anyone about this, no one will believe you.”

    As of this moment, the Republican National Committee still has a joint fundraising agreement with Roy Moore.

    It would sure be a lot easier for old Roy Moore to put up credible denials if his wife weren't 14 years younger than him.

    Well, at least we haven't heard that he killed a woman yet. Not saying that isn't next, though...

    Did he get married at age 30?

    I'm saying it fits the pattern. Nothing necessarily wrong with the marriage. But he clearly likes younger women.

    Don’t worry. The “Yeah, but Ted Kennedy...” stuff is queued up and ready to go.

    Ann Coulter brought up JFK and a 19-year-old in a Tweet someone posted here this morning.

    I looked at this in the supermarket checkout aisle just now. Malia was interviewed because she had interned with Harvey Weinstein and they wanted to know what she might have seen or heard.
