should sexual child abuse have a statute of limitations?
The case for both is (roughly)
1. Multiple victims who don't know each other, but who all came up with similar stories (including victims who are political allies of the accused)
2. Many different witnesses who attest to the event being relayed to them over a period of years
3. A pattern of behavior over several years
4. Against the word of the man involved.
Oddly, it seems that folks think that this standard works for one individual, but not for another. Let's see if anyone is willing to plug their name down, and how.
no...

Alabama- 3 years or age 21.
I posted it previously. And no one challenged it, I do hope I am in error, as Moore would/could be brought to trial.
Feel free to drop a dime on me - taking a line from Bannon.

You know, I often love debating with you because you use excellent logic!
But you're building your case upon the supposition that the girl may be lying. Yet in this case there's nothing to show the alleged victim is lying. However, a time to judge has been forced upon us; i.e., the election.
As a citizen and a voter, I can only work with the data I have at my disposal. And her's is one more data-point to evaluate.
My point was: We often have to work with limited data when forced to make decisions. So we use our best inference.
The election forces us to make this decision, not a "rush to judgement" as you claim.

The poll is stupid, and not worth even voting in.
You are equating a man who had sex with adults, to a man who had sex with children.
So disingenuous. I would expect to see a poll like this from Fox News, in between the hard hitting stories like, "Does the cheese go on the bottom or the top of a burger?" or "Are garlic powder and garlic salt the same? We find out next!"
Clinton was damaged by the accusations of infidelity with consenting adults. How damaged should Moore be by similar accusations regarding illegal relationships with children who cannot give consent?
But the public perpetuates the lie well past the time of the alleged act...as I stated in both cases, the news made much of the allegations...was meek in the later recantations.
I certainly believe that both Moore and Clinton (and a helluva lot of other smarmy politician, caught and uncaught) are probably guilty. This crap is pervasive in our society, all walks of it, and has been for as long as I've been on this planet. Almost every woman, and all too many men, have a story of harassment, abuse or even assault in their lifetimes.
