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. [snip]
According to Johnson, he asked questions about her young daughters, including what color eyes they had and if they were as pretty as she was. She said that made her feel uncomfortable, too.
Once the papers were signed, she and her mother got up to leave. After her mother walked through the door first, she said, Moore came up behind her.
It was at that point, she recalled, he grabbed her buttocks.Good for her and all the other victims who've come forward to tell what Roy "Teen Spirit" Moore did to them. That's what's called courage.
UPDATE: "But wait, there's more..." But of course there is.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, Hackie. If all women came forward who were degraded, harassed or otherwise abused in any way, we'd have a groundswelling. #metoo is just the start.
You're right. Just what we've seen of celebrities and public officials is shocking; what exists in the larger society must be overwhelming.
One other thought. It's increasingly clear that, if our country is going to be saved from the vandals and skunks currently running the three branches of government, it will be the women of America who will lead that heroic effort.
Word.
