Roy Moore threatens to sue someone over being outed as an alleged pedophile and sex predator.

Turns out that a lot of people knew that Moore was fixated on high school girls - which means girls as young as 13/14 (the allegations are from a woman who was 14 at the time). No one seemed to actually question why Moore was going to these events and tracking down high school girls as an ADA in his early 30s.

Moore’s defenders continue sliming the accuser and media, which is precisely why women and girls aren’t and don’t come forward about abuse and sex attacks they endured years (or decades) earlier. Men in power want to remain in power, and they are able to rally lots of people to attack those who would cast them down.

Prosecutors face uphill battles when dealing with sex predators and child abuse. It’s not just Moore, but institutionally, we just don’t have a good way of dealing with systematic abuse.
