New Roy Moore accuser: "He didn't 'pinch' it. He grabbed it."

Source: Al.com

A Gadsden woman says Roy Moore groped her while she was in his law office on legal business with her mother in 1991. Moore was married at that time.

In the past week, Moore has been accused by five other women of a range of behaviors that include sexual misconduct with a woman when she was 14, and sexual assault of another when she was 16. This is the first public accusation of physical contact that happened after Moore was married.

In recent days, Moore has publicly denied any wrongdoing, and has denied knowing some of the women.

Tina Johnson

In interviews with AL.com, Tina Johnson recalls that in the fall of 1991 she sat in the law office of then-attorney Roy Moore on Third Street in Gadsden. Her mother, Mary Katherine Cofield, sat in the chair next to her. Moore sat behind his desk, across from them. Johnson remembers she was wearing a black and white dress.

This is the account of Tina Johnson, a woman who was 28 in 1991 when the "grabbing" occurred. (Roy married Kayla in 1985 -- so this was post-marriage.) She was in his office with her mother on a legal matter. Her sister told AL.com that she remembers Tina telling her about this at the time. AL.com confirmed that Moore represented this woman in the legal matter involving custody of her son.

This article also reports the story of yet another woman, Kelley Harrison Thorpe, who says that Moore asked her for a date when she was 17 and he was in his thirties. She asked him if he knew how old she was and he said yes, he dates girls her age all the time. She said no because she had a boyfriend.

This is amazing and shocking. If this story is true, it demonstrates that Roy Moore was completely out of control even well into his 30's.

I wish the mother had pounded him with her pocketbook. It would have served him right.

But yes, I wouldn't put it past those assholes one bit to do dirty tricks like that (ala the fake memos regarding W's National Guard service).

Moore=Trump. No wonder he fled all questions today. Waiting for Fox to tell him what to do but this puts them both really in a pickle.
