Roy Moore's penchant for flirting with teen girls was "common knowledge" and "not a big secret" around Gadsden, according to some area residents.
The Senate candidate has denied any wrongdoing in the wake of a report from The Washington Post in which four women accused Moore of inappropriate advances - and in one instance, a sexual encounter - toward them when they were teens and he was in his early 30s.
One of the four women claims she was 14 at the time, making her the only one whose claim would represent a legal violation. Moore has said he never met her. A fifth woman came forward this afternoon.
Moore and other Republican leaders have questioned why it took so long for his accusers, now in their 50s, to come forward publicly.
And yet people who lived in Etowah County during that time have said Moore's flirting with and dating much younger women and girls was no secret.
"These stories have been going around this town for 30 years," said Blake Usry, who grew up in the area and lives in Gadsden. "Nobody could believe they hadn't come out yet."
Usry, a traveling nurse, said he knew several of the girls that Moore tried to flirt with.
"It's not a big secret in this town about Roy Moore," he said. "That's why it's sort of frustrating to watch" the public disbelieve the women who have come forward, he said.

Yes...there’s no shame today in lying...none at all...it’s all about perceptions and players to roll it out..
“sincerely hope the good people in Alabama have a greater ability to sniff out liars than you do.”
Don’t worry, we do. Election day can’t come soon enough. We can’t wait to give a giant middle finger to the elites.
It’s sad how many GOPE trolls infest this board. Anyone who believes scum like McConnell, McCain, Mike Lee, Mitt Romney or GLORIA ALLRED simply isn’t very intelligent.
“It’s people like you that bend over and believe every lie that has let leftists ruin our country.”
Wyowolf is a Leftist troll. Period. And an ignorant bigot.
Definitely creepy. I thought maybe it was just a couple of times where he went on a casual date with girls who said they were older or something. Ashamed to say my friends and I lied about our ages here and there. But where there’s smoke there is usually fire. Random townspeople wouldn’t all make this up. Would they?
Oh, look who we have here! Another ignorant, leftist bigot who can’t even locate the South on a map. Thanks for displaying your lack of education to everyone.
Begone, troll! Back to DU with you.
Thanks. As the saying goes: “I’m mad as Hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
Unfortunately, there are GOPe and leftist trolls all over FR tonight. I thought it was time to give them a little education:)
Nobody did. Why not?

Oh I fully expect that...complete moral hypocrites.
They will foam at the mouth at the slightest lib doing it...but a conservative?? Hes a saint and they are all liars.
The real truth is hard to know.
It is very sad that you feel uncomfortable to even question.
The intolerance for differing opinion surfacing here reminds me of when I was a Trump supporter long before many here or even FR as a website backed him. There were many very aggressive Cruz supporters who attacked anyone who publicly supported Trump as being a troll, causing the ruination of conservationism, etc...That was a presidential election of monumental historic proportion.
Tho some would say this election is close in importance; however, until JR lays down the law here stating we are not allowed to post questions about Moore, people should be encouraged and able to do so.
As FR home page states:
Established in 1996, Free Republic is one of the earliest and largest online gathering places for INDEPENDENT, grass-roots conservatism on the web
Hopefully the truth about Moore will come out—I have no doubt that the Dems were controlling the timing of the release, and I truly hope it turns out that all allegations are totally false, so Moore can restore cloud hanging over him. However, to see people on other threads turning on Hannity, Watters, Pirro and Ingraham because they are not 100% behind Moore tells me logic and open mindedness is being suspended for some sort of anti-elite, anti-GOPe blind loyalty. To dismiss any and all allegations as a witch hunt is dangerous precedent; it is what the elitists have done for decades at least as far back as Kennedy.
It is not wrong to seek the truth and follow it wherever it leads.
Veritas vos liberabit
Bless you!
I’m your Tennessean neighbor......we know the good people of Alabama are smart, discerning and not easily fooled
GO ROY MOORE
Sessions out of the AG office would likely be an improvement...
Roll Tide! Thank you from your Texas neighbor! Im disgusted and appalled by so many GOPe slimy turncoats on FR tonight! Im really shocked that anyone is falling for this whole thing. So mad I cant even sleep. Its such an obvious smear job. All I can think is these posters are a part of the swamp themselves. They cant stand the idea of a good man who cant be bought in the senate.
I dont mind, Im used to it. Name calling keyboard warriors is all they got...
the sad part is its nearly impossible to know who is telling the truth. I just find it funny how if the exact same situation were on the other side, they would be foaming at the mouth at what a pedophile he is...thats the hypocrisy that bothers me...
Dot, but her family is Catholic.
In Wyoming, I thought I read.
Sounds like a nice case of culture shock to me...
A woman on Twitter claims to have lived and worked in Gladsen, AL, where Judge Moore served. She says these other claims are lies and she has never heard/seen him do any of what accusers say!
@NancyLCouch1 is her Twitter page!
I was born and raised in Wyo. But have lived in Atl for 25 years. Not as much as you might think... she adapted pretty easily and her English was already excellent since she was schooled in Catholic schools by Irish Nuns.
there is a pretty large Christian population in S India.
St Thomas is buried in Chennai.
@NancyLCouch1
Her Twitter page, she defends Roy Moore, because she lived and worked in Gladson, ALA during some of his time there, and says rumors, claims are false about the mall, and no one ever said he only dated teenage girls. Look at her tweets.
Do the names Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain and Donald Trump ring a bell?
Compare to Ted Kennedy ("Lion of the Senate"), Bill Clinton "It's just about sex") and Barney Frank (homosexual lover running a prostitution ring out of his apartment but he knew nothing of it)...or the smears of McCain having an affair with a staffer, or Palin sleeping with a black basketball player when single.
Note that the main accuser's story has holes; Mom says no phone in bedroom, classmate says the girl dated her brother 3 years prior (would have been 11).
And there's the Washington Post getting caught on tape offering cash for stories of dirt on Moore.
On Twitter, @NancyLCouch1 she claims to have lived and worked in Gladsen, AL , while Roy Moore served....she says these are lies, and he never was rumored to have dated teenage girls or that mall issue, she would have known...check it out.
As i said before, with everyone digging in on “their side” the real truth is hard to tell.
Everyone Knows its political after this much time has passed. But does that make it not true??
You gotta admit it looks bad him just going after little girls even if he didnt do anything... if that was YOUR daughter... would you think its OK? Honestly?
Everyone knows Billy C is a slimeball...
But those are the same kinds of arguments Hitlary used to defend him with...
