Retired Alabama officer: Roy Moore rumors treated 'like a joke'

Source: The Hill




BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 11/19/17 09:39 AM EST

A former police officer in the Alabama county where Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) worked as an assistant district attorney said the stories about Moore being interested in young girls were treated “like a joke.”

“It was a known fact: Roy Moore liked young girls,” Faye Gary, a retired Gadsden police officer, told The New York Times. “It was treated like a joke. That’s just the way it was.”

Other local residents told The Times that they also knew about Moore approaching teenage girls, including several that said Moore would often work out at the YMCA gym shirtless.

Delores Abney told the paper that Moore would talk to girls that “appeared to be high school on up” in her exercise class, adding that “it just did not look appropriate.”

Sexual predation is no joke. It's serious, and it is damaging to everyone, especially children. When sexual predation is enacted by adults on young people under the age of majority, 18, it's a crime.

6IX9INE PLEADS GUILTY TO MISCONDUCT WITH MINOR
Nov 17, 2017 at 3:56 pm | By Alex
The 'Gummo' rapper is going down
Rapper Tekashi69 has pled guilty to charges of sexual misconduct with a child.

The “Gummo” rapper accepted three felony counts of “Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance,” stemming from an incident that occurred over the summer. The age and name of the girl involved are unknown. What we do know is 6ix9ine’s fellow Brooklyn rapper ZillaKami posted photos of Tekashi fondling the girl and claimed that she was just 13 years old. Tekashi was over 18 at the time the photos were taken.

6ix9ine’s guilty plea comes as a bit of a shock given how vehemently he and his team denied the charges.

“He doesn’t even like to say the R word, we don’t play around with that sh*t,” a representative for the rapper told Mass Appeal earlier this year. “As someone with a 3-year-old daughter we take this very seriously… Their whole thing was to try to slander his name and make him look terrible.”

The rapper could be facing up to 15 years per count

Not only a crime but a severe abuse of power.

Edited to add: Explains why they can vote for someone like Trump.
They have lost their minds and have no moral core.

Don't even have a clue that this is serious, not a joke. No wonder lots of 'em plan to vote for Ol' Roy.

Rs called Monica a child... 22 at the time?

But now they really emphasize legal age of consent with the Moore situation.
