Gadsden locals say Moore's predatory behavior at mall, restaurants not a secret

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.

Amazing how Moore was still elected with all this ‘knowledge’ about him!

So true. With all the people that have wanted to bring Moore down, this would have certainly been known by now.

And how do you know he knew she was 14?

There is no crime in flirting.

You guys are just compounding the lies and half truths.

And if Moore did step aside, it would be amazing how fast all of these accusations would suddenly disappear.

Yep. They would disappear or be shown to be unfounded.

They allowed other women to be subjected AFTER being paid to settle legal claims against Weinstein.

There are no such settlements in the case of Judge Moore.

We don’t even know how the girl from yesterdays show got home... she needed a ride... the boyfriend didn’t show... she claims she went home and didn’t talk to anyone.

Did she walk? During the winter at night? How far... what time would she have gotten home?

The story isn’t plausible... if this event happened she would have gotten a ride. If she got a ride, there would be a witness to corroborate her story.

In two different ink colors...

Where the 7s in black do not match the 7s in blue.

Where Judge Moore’s job title at the time Deputy District Attorney is represented as District Attorney or DA.

Who carries a yearbook with them at Christmas when they come out in August anyway?

Thanks for the kind post. It’s encouraging to see so many Non-Alabamians who see what’s really going on & lending support to Judge Moore.

I apologize for some of my strong language in my posts, but the GOPE shenanigans are pushing me, and many people I know, over the edge. The thought of the elites attempting to steal our election is intolerable.

As I stated, Gloria Allred’s Involvement in this mess is proof that it is a lie. Allred is nothing but a shakedown artist and anyone associated with her can not be believed.

You are 100% correct about certain posters on this board. They are revealing themselves to be GOPE or leftist (but I repeat myself) trolls. I couldn’t take it anymore and had to call them out.

Roll Tide & God Bless Texas!

Random townfolk would never carry a hatchet for a DA. I declare, it ain’t like ol’ Roy sent cousin Danny up the river without reason. All southern folk are bastions of purity. In fact, southern DAs haven’t had anything to do since Jim Crow died...

Where do all you gullible marks live? Theres fortunes to be made selling swampland to suckers...

it is all about turnout. The DNC will have their machine. The RNC will help the DNC.

the low information R will write in Mcconel

so it is up to the rank and file to overcome the D bastions.
