Proof of what? I'm speaking generally, about no case specifically. I just don't put much stock in the stories of people who waited 10 years to "come forward" one week before an election, regardless of their political affiliation. I don't need proof to be skeptical of their stories. They had 10 years to come forward if it was true, but they waited until an election? Why? If it is important to reveal that information today, it was important to reveal that information a year ago, 5 years ago, the day after it happened. The implication is clear, that the primary motive is not the accusation but what you receive from it.
This is not an issue I am very passionate about whatsoever, but since it's in my face all the time, I can't help but notice the circumstances surrounding these accusations that you (and everyone else) are glossing over and ignoring.
The man himself, Roy Moore, tacitly admitted on Hannity that he 'may have dated' teenagers while in his 30s.
Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore declined Friday to rule out that he may have dated girls in their late teens when he was in his 30s, though he said he did not remember any such encounters and described such behavior as inappropriate.
“If I did, I’m not going to dispute these things, but I don’t remember anything like that,” Moore said on Sean Hannity’s radio program, when asked whether he had dated 17- or 18-year-old girls at the time.

-"If I did, I’m not going to dispute these things." Yet he is vehemently disputing these things even though he implied otherwise to Hannity.
-4 different women who don't know each other made very similar allegations. How many more are out there?
-30 corroborating sources were cited before publishing the Washington Post story.
-The primary accuser, Leigh Corfman, is a Republican who voted for Trump. Some e-detectives have dug up old social media posts from her looking to buy Stonewall Jackson antiques years ago.
I don't know a damn thing about Alabama politics but apparently Roy Moore is one of the better known politicians in that state. He wielded exceptional power as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that state. He has a reputation as a wacky loose cannon who is too controversial even for the likes of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump himself. Trump endorsed Moore's primary opponent Luther Strange because he ultimately made a decision that Moore was too toxic for the US senate. Perhaps these guys caught wind that something was brewing before the allegations were made public and tried to beat the media to the punch by endorsing Strange? Trump and McConnell are certainly not the type to shy away from bad optics when it comes to working alongside controversial politicians. What did they know before this story hit the printing press? McConnell came out immediately after the allegations, as if he couldn't wait, to state publicly that Moore should step down.
So why didn't the accusers come forward before this election? At the risk of sounding like a cuck feminist, I don't think many men consider the realistic backlash that accompanies making such accusations against a District Attorney/Judge/Supreme Court Chief Justice (all positions held by Roy Moore since 1977). Who is going to believe a little girl making these types of accusations in 1977, or 1980, 1990, etc? Who is telling little girls to come forward and go public with these incredibly embarrassing stories in 1977, in Alabama? Nobody.
It doesn't take a genius to understand the negative real-life consequences that accompany criminally lascivious allegations against such a powerful figure. She's enduring them right now, 40 years later. Her history has been exposed, people are calling her a liar, and now her name is plastered all over the news because she was diddled as a kid.
Again, there are 4 separate
named teenage accusers and 30 sources who have provided corroborating evidence for this reporting. Roy Moore himself made the softest denial I have ever heard, practically admitting that he may have "dated" teenagers while in his 30s serving as the fucking District Attorney. Did he bring them to Chuck E. Cheese first?
Many of the people who are dismissing this as some liberal tactic to trample on the reputation of these poor defenseless Republicans are the same people who fantasize about beating pedophiles into a bloody pulp. If these allegations are true, Roy Moore is a fucking pedophile who used his position to take advantage of vulnerable children. Leigh Corfman was 14 years old.
Fourteen. Some of you are defending Roy Moore despite the fact that Republican leadership is condemning him.
Additionally, most of the people who are being accused of sexual predation in recent months, are Leftists. The same people who are defending this pedophile Roy Moore are the same ones who instantly label people like Harvey Weinstein as "another pervert jew" without any further evidence required.
Sexual misconduct and rape allegations are en vogue right now. Roy Moore is running his Senate campaign in the wrong place at the wrong time. His accusers felt emboldened to shed light on the skeletons in his closet because this happens to be a moment in history when their accusations may actually be believed. In 2017, Roy Moore is the overwhelming favorite to assume one of the most powerful offices in the USA, and perhaps that is the last straw which prevented them from staying silent any longer.
You asked the question. There's your answer.
