Alabama Rep.: ‘Someone Should Prosecute And Go After’ Moore Accusers

State Rep. Ed Henry (R) thinks that the women accusing GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore of pursuing sexual relationships with them as teens are not only lying, but should also face prosecution.

“I think someone should prosecute and go after them,” Henry told the Cullman Times on Thursday evening. “You can’t be a victim 40 years later, in my opinion.”

Henry, who co-chaired President Donald Trump’s Alabama campaign, had similarly attacked the accusers in an interview with TPM, saying the allegations were “very opportunistic” and that the women “are just looking for their chance to get on some liberal talk show.”

The women need to provide photographic evidence of the encounters, Henry said. “They got some pictures? That’ll do.”

Further piling blame on the women, the state representative argued that their delay in making their stories public rendered them suspect.

“If you believe for a second that any of these are true then shame on these women for not coming forward in the last 30 years,” Henry told TPM. “It’s not like this guy hasn’t been in the limelight for decades.”

On Thursday, the Washington Post dropped an explosive report in which Alabama resident Leigh Corfman accused Moore of initiating a sexual encounter when she was only 14 years old. Three other women told the Post that Moore pursued sexual relationships with them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18.

The alleged encounter and relationships date back about 40 years, when Moore was in his thirties. The Senate nominee has vehemently denied the accusations.

Henry isn’t alone; a number of his Republican colleagues in Alabama’s state legislature were quick to defend Moore, who served as an Alabama Supreme Court justice before getting kicked off the bench for ordering judges to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.

“I think it’s just a bunch of bull,” said Perry Hooper Jr., Trump’s other Alabama campaign chairman.

The Post reports that the women were initially reluctant to come forward, but ultimately decided it was important for people to know about their experiences.

“I have prayed over this,” Corfman told the Post. “All I know is that I can’t sit back and let this continue, let him continue without the mask being removed.”

In First Alabama Poll Since Teen Sex Abuse Bombshell, Roy Moore and Doug Jones in Dead Heat

If anyone was wondering how the bombshell Washington Post story on Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore and the allegations of teen sex abuse would shape the Alabama Senate race, we are now getting our first glimpse.

In an Opinion Savvy/Decision Desk HQ poll that was conducted just after the story came out yesterday, Moore is locked in a dead heat with Democratic nominee Doug Jones, 46.4% to 46.0%

The poll, which surveyed 515 Alabama voters, found that a vast majority of the respondents had already heard about the allegations that the ex-Alabama judge had initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32. Only 9% claimed they hadn’t heard the news stories yet compared to 82% who said they were aware of the report.

Among those aware of the story, however, a solid majority (54%) felt that Moore did not need to withdraw from the race. Among Republicans, that number goes up to 73%. 35% stated that the former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice should step aside.

Following Moore capturing the Republican nomination in September, the same survey found Moore with a solid but not overwhelming 5.7-point lead over Jones in the overwhelmingly red state.

Steve Bannon Launches Breitbart Campaign to Discredit Roy Moore’s Accusers

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is using his website Breitbart News to run a discrediting campaign against the women who have come forward to accuse GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of pursuing sexual relationships with them when they were teenagers and he was an adult.

The Washington insider publication Axios reports the website has shipped-off reporters Matt Boyle and Aaron Klein to Alabama where they aim to poke holes in the stories of Moore’s accusers. The two Bannon lackeys have already started their investigation into the women, as Klein published a story today suggesting one allegation could be false due to a previously unreported “key detail.”

“Speaking by phone to Breitbart News on Saturday, Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71, says that her daughter did not have a phone in her bedroom during the period that Moore is reported to have allegedly called Corfman – purportedly on Corfman’s bedroom phone – to arrange at least one encounter,” wrote Klein.

Despite Breitbart suggesting this “key detail” discredits Leigh Corfman’s claims — who is accusing Moore of initiating physical relations with when she was 14 and he was 32 — the woman’s mother still supports the allegations and has noted the phone could “easily” be used in her daughter’s bedroom.

Bannon running defense for Moore — regardless of the nastiness of these allegations — is hardly surprising, as the Breitbart kingpin aggressively campaigned for the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice during his primary run against Senator Luther Strange. Moore has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “completely false and misleading” — though he previously admitted to dating “a lot of young ladies.”

Woman Accuses Roy Moore of Trying to ? Her at 16: I Was ‘Begging Him to Stop’

Attorney Gloria Allred conducted a press conference Monday and introduced another victim of Roy Moore, who claimed in emotional and harrowing detail that the Alabama senate candidate tried to ? her when she was just 16-years-old.

Beverly Young Nelson told a roomful of reporters that she was 15 when she met Moore, alleging that “Mr. Moore attacked me when I was a child.”

Moore is alleged to have flirted with the teenager with no prompting.

“I did nothing to encourage his flirtatious behavior,” she said, shortly before nearly bursting into tears. “I was not interested in having a dating or sexual relationship with a man who was twice my age.”

One night, after she turned 16, Nelson stated, Moore offered her a ride home. She accepted, due to his high standing in the community.

“He offered me a ride home. I trusted Mr. Moore because he was the district attorney. I thought he was simply doing something nice,” she said. “I thought he would get on the highway but instead he drove to the back of the restaurant.”

Nelson then told reporters that Moore “stopped the car and he parked his car in-between the dumpster and the back of the restaurant, where there were no lights.”

“The area was dark and it was deserted,” she sobbed, describing her harrowing ordeal. “I was alarmed and I immediately asked him what he was doing. Instead of answering my questions, Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me and putting my hands on my ? .”

The woman continued in hesitating tones.

“I tried to open my car door to leave but he reached over and he locked it so I could not get out. I tried fighting him off while I yelled at him to stop,” she said. “He began squeezing my neck to force my head on to his crotch. I continued to struggle. I was determined that I was not going to allow him to force me to have sex with him. I was terrified.”

Nelson continued, saying “I thought he was going to ? me. I was twisting and I was struggling and I was begging him to stop. I had tears running down my face.”

The woman then alleged that Moore threatened her, using his status as a crutch.

“At some point he gave up, then he looked at me and he told me, he said ‘you’re just a child and I am the district attorney,'” she continued. “If you tell anyone about this nobody will ever believe you.”

“He finally allowed me to open the door. I either fell out or he pushed me out.”

It is worth noting that Nelson told the room that her and her husband voted for President Donald Trump and that she was inspired by Moore’s other alleged victims to come forward.
