Woman shares new evidence of relationship with Roy Moore when she was 17
Source: Washington Post
Delray Beach, Fla. Debbie Wesson Gibson was in her attic hauling out boxes of Christmas decorations last week when she noticed a storage bin she said she had forgotten about. Inside was a scrapbook from her senior year of high school, and taped to a page titled Those Who Inspire was a graduation card.
Happy graduation Debbie, it read in slanted cursive handwriting. I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that youll be a success in anything you do. Roy.
The inscription, Gibson said, was written by Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican nominee for U.S. Senate who in recent days has repeatedly denied the accounts of five women who told The Washington Post that he pursued them when they were teenagers and he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s. Since those allegations were published last month, four more women have come forward to allege that Moore made unwanted sexual advances. The accounts in The Post included those of Leigh Corfman, who said she was 14 when Moore touched her sexually, and Gibson, who said that she publicly dated Moore when she was 17 and he was 34, a relationship she said she wore like a badge of honor until she began reevaluating it in light of the accounts of other women, and now, Moores own denials.

What made her decision to share the documents easier, she said, was watching and re-watching a video she has on her cellphone of Moore speaking last week and deciding that supporting the women who have come forward was more important than staying silent.

(7,711 posts)do so because older women are more sexually experienced and would find them lacking or at least not interesting ...

(6,212 posts)I didn't think of that and in his case it's probably true.

(20,264 posts)The men I've known who were in their 30s who dated teenagers or even women in their early 20s, usually couldn't cut it in or out of bed with a women their own age. They wanted a girl to look up to them because they had low self esteem.

(19,208 posts)According to not-so-Breitbart, none of this matters because all this is part of the normal dating ritual in the South. Really, they said that.

(6,981 posts)Well, if it was a Dem it would matter. But since Moore's a thuglican, it's fine for MOST in Alabama.
SergeStorms
(19,208 posts)I should have stipulated that.

(11,841 posts)She insisted "theres nothing odd about it". I told her that when people ask how they met, if she doesn't lead off with "We're cousins" then even she thinks its odd

(714 posts)She dated Moore when she was 17. I have known her for over 30 years and I know she is not a liar. She has a lawyer and does not talk about it much, hannity and his gang have been trying to get to her grown children in other states to try and get dirt on her. She has not lived in Alabama since she was in her twenties, they moved to my town in the 80s I do not know how he can deny even knowing these girls. It is becoming more frightening every day with the kooks and liars in charge. I am sickened by the fact that people who vote for him still call themselves the party of values.
