Beverly Young Nelson told reporters she was working at the Old Hickory House in the late 70s, where Moore was a regular.

On what she described as a cold evening, Nelson said her boyfriend was late picking her up from a shift at the restaurant.

She said Moore offered her a ride, but instead took her behind the restaurant where he groped her.

"I was terrified," she recounted, "He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought that he was going to rape me."

This was presented at a live news conference on November 13, 2017. Her attorney Gloria Allred called for a congressional hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she said her client would testify under oath about an alleged sexual assault.

1. This is second sexual assault. First was w 14 yo. Not clear if Nelson was 15 or 16 yo.

Both incidents are sexual assault.

At least one of them was under the age of consent and the second was at best borderline.

2. She said she would have taken it to her grave... if it wasn't for the other women who spoke up.

4. When you see how women who do come forward are treated, it's no wonder that so many of them

decide to take their stories to the grave.

3. Floodgates have opened

There will be dozens

5. I watched it.

5th women alleging at age 15 attempted rape/sexual assault. They've got a signed yearbook ... "Love Roy"

Along with McConnell, Hatch & Collins calling for him to step aside, the above should bury Roy Moore's candidacy.

6. It bothers me so much that after all of these years she is still effected

Her whole life changed--she was forever affected. For his instance of sexual gratification.

Pig.

During her press conference, Nelson showed her 1977 Southside High School yearbook with an inscription she said was Moore's.

In 1977, Nelson was Beverly Young, a sophomore at Southside, in the same class as Moore's future wife, Kayla Kisor. Southside is in Etowah County outside Gadsden, just over the Coosa River.
