New Roy Moore accuser will disclose allegations at Gloria Allred presser today

47. The victim is still going to be outing herself as well as him.

Her name hasn't been released yet in the teasers to throw Moore off-balance, but will be speaking up herself.

Now, I know that should not make a difference in whether we believe an accusation, but it does for many. If nothing else, it means she's risking forever being tarred and feathered if something negative but unrelated comes out about her as a result of going public.

And the victim chose Gloria, obviously -- I don't think Allred went victim-chasing. She's well-known for doing free temporary representation and press for women who have something to say publicly. If that's all she does in this case -- let her get her story out there and the attention it deserves -- then even if there might be that perception, if the accusation holds water another credible victim is still going to hopefully make people realize the dude's pattern.

Even though this happened a long time ago, he was the epitome of the "older man who doesn't date people his own age because he isn't mature enough to have relationships with them" in the 1961 "Girls Beware" video. Don't watch it unless you're willing to puke a lpt at victim-blaming, but it actually described the way statutory rape happens quite well.
