One more about your boy Moore reg. rape of a 12 yr. old.

Moore was the only vote in favor of a day care worker who raped a 12-year-old, claiming there was no ‘implied threat of serious physical injury’.

In 2015, while Moore was serving on the Alabama Supreme Court, he considered the case of Eric Lemont Higdon, a 17-year-old, who was convicted of raping a 12-year-old at a daycare center. Higdon was found guilty under a sodomy statute that applied specifically to minors, as well another statute prohibiting rape. The second conviction was overturned by an appeals court and sent to the state supreme court for review.

Eight justices found that the 12-year-old’s fear of harm from a much older and larger individual was enough to establish “implied threat of serious physical injury” and reinstated Higdon’s conviction. Moore was the only dissent, saying that there was “no evidence in this case of an implied threat of serious physical injury.” Moore oddly argued that the court’s interpretation opened the door to a 10-year-old being found guilty of raping an 8-year-old.

The decision was featured in an ad in the Republican primary. The prosecutor seeking to reinstate Higdon’s conviction, Luther Strange, was Moore’s opponent.

It's a total lie, but they've been so propagandized by Fox that they prefer a sex criminal to a democrat. They don't know the Dems are the party of tolerance and a fair shake for all. Instead they vote for billionaires who want to screw them and think they are suckers. Up is down, left is right on Fox and Limbaugh. If we don't fix our propaganda problem half the country is lost.
