When people make allegations of things of wrongdoing against another that doesn't always equate to being the truth. There have been many times a persons life was devastated/ruined over an allegation that later was proved false.
From a mother who raised a daughter, I question the actions of the mother. I would never leave my child alone with a man that I did not know personally. I doubt most mothers would be comfortable with such a thing. I question the part where the accuser said they exchanged phone numbers. As a mother of a daughter at age 14, I knew who she was talking to on the phone and who was calling her. I think most parents do the same. My 14 year old daughter would have to tell me a real whopper to manage to walk to a location where she would be picked up by this man, drive at least thirty minutes to his home, time for all she alleges that took place then drive another 30 minutes back to be dropped off and walk back home. I pondered to recall anytime my 14 year old daughter went anywhere without me or her father and that only occurred when there were other kids going as a group. Whether it was riding bikes to the swimming pool, playing tennis at the park, going to the library, Girl Scout meetings, or heading to the Ben Franklin in town for a bag of candy. She did babysit for couples in the neighborhood but that was it.
The timing of the story makes it questionable at the very least. And reported in a newspaper that has endorsed Moore's opponent.
And because someone makes allegations of pedophilia, we shouldn't question their intent and simply take it as the truth?
That's not how you get to the truth.
Moore has enemies on the left and the right. As dirty as politics are, it is not beyond the possibility this is a smear campaign.
He denies the allegations.
Regardless what you think of Moore, he isn't a stupid man. If he was guilty of such actions, and knows his victims are talking, then he knows this is not going to go away and the right thing to do would be step aside. However, if he is innocent he should have the right to defend himself and have his say.
