The allegations: In an interview with the Post published on Nov. 15, Gena Richardson said that she first met Moore at Gadsden Mall in 1977 either before or just after her 18th birthday.

"I just don't like people misusing the word force to mean force" - Ghot, alleged pedophile, apparently.

Asking someone to meet you is not force.

I agree the guy shouldn't be messing with underage girls, for the 3rd or 4th time now. But I still don't like people adding stuff on, that he didn't do.
If you were accused of something, I would feel the same way about your detractors.

Is grabbing someone’s head and pushing it into your crotch considered force?

You're confusing the law with whether or not the girls themselves consented. In other words, he didn't force any of them to go with him.

/e Just in case anyone has forgotten... I don't agree with what he did, I just think that when discussing these things, we have to keep the facts, in mind.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders has said repeatedly that Alabama voters should decide the election, and Trump stood by his position that Moore should step aside if the allegations were true. The White House also backed the Republican National Committee’s decision to withdraw support for the controversial former state Supreme Court chief justice.

Moore’s campaign has been in turmoil since the Washington Post published a story detailing the accounts of three women who claim he pursued them while they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. More women have since spoken out with allegations of their own.

Moore, 70, has denied any wrongdoing.

Reuters has been unable to independently confirm any of the accusations.
