Democrats alleged a deeper pattern of leniency in Mr. Moores judicial decisions involving sexual predation, pointing to several cases in which the former judge expressed skepticism of young women making allegations of sexual abuse.
In a 2015 case involving a man, David Pittman, who pleaded guilty to raping an underage girl, Mr. Moore wrote in a dissenting opinion that Mr. Pittman should have been allowed to introduce evidence showing his alleged victims parents suspected her of sexual activity, because it could be relevant to discerning her alleged motive in claiming she had been assaulted.
And in a 2014 case, involving a man convicted of abusing two underage girls, Mr. Moore wrote in a dissenting opinion that the man, Sherman Tate, should have had the chance in court to demonstrate that his accusers were romantically involved with each other. Mr. Moore wrote that connection could be relevant to the victims alleged bias against Tate.
In cases of sexual misconduct, even against minors, Roy Moore blames the victims and sides with the attackers, said Chris Hayden, a spokesman for Senate Majority PAC, the Democratic group that highlighted the cases. Knowing that Roy Moore himself is an attacker it has never been clearer that he is not fit to serve in the U.S. Senate.
