Regarding Judge Roy.........
There is a TON of societal issues at work here that are uniquely southern and uniquely small town. I'll lay out a few since I've been southern all my life, was born in a small town, and actually have been to Gadsden, AL and had a brief and impersonal, personal experience with Judge Roy himself.
Small towns are where everybody knows everybody else and knows their business, but keeps their mouths shut about it IN PUBLIC! They'll talk all day about it one-on-one in private to each other, but NOT publically. And that's especially true if the person being talked about is a powerful local official with intimate ties to local law enforcement. Or if the local subject of the talk is wealthy, whether he's (it's almost ALWAYS a he) a public official or not. Or both. The wealthy in small southern towns are almost worshiped, even if the wealth is inherited. You can be crazy as a bedbug and as long as you've got old money, you can, literally at times, get away with murder. Sometimes this reticence to talk in public is based on "politeness" and sometimes it's based on fear of retribution.
In small, southern towns, the poor are cowed by wealth through propaganda (if you're so smart, why ain't you rich?) and outright terror. Quite like the social dynamic between the serfs and the liege under feudalism. The middle economic classes are cowed less by fear of bodily harm (although the subtext of that is there), but by the opportunism of gaining materially from the wealthy (feudal largesse?), so not wanting to take any chance at pissing them off. And then the upper social ranks are usually DIRECTLY dependent, more or less, on that wealth for a comfortable lifestyle. Hence NOBODY will rock the boat. IN PUBLIC!
That's just a few of the social dynamics of this case and why it has just now come out, although it's been happening for decades. Roy Moore could (and it wouldn't surprise me if he actually did at some point) get away with literal murder up on Sand Mountain in Etowah County. So in comparison to that, what's feeling up a 14 year old girl?

Was the DU-member an involuntary wearer of stainless steel bracelets?

As southerner from a small town as soon as I read the first sentence I stopped reading. Even though I did not read past the first sentence I feel pretty safe in offering a big "F' you!" to the socialist.

Calls Grow for Arrest of Gloria Allred Over Forged Document – Including Accuser’s Stepson!
Following The Gateway Pundit’s viral story on Judge Roy Moore’s alleged signature inside accuser Beverly Young Nelson’s yearbook, more evidence suggested it was a forgery.

The other day I heard them interview one of the "victims" on NPR. She sounded all teary and heartbroken as she told how he offered her a ride 40 (or however many) years ago and made a move on her. If in her interview she'd have sounded angry and said something along the lines of "that sorry sumbitch gave my a ride then tried to feel me up!" I might be more apt to believe her.

The fake tears are there to show how traumatized they still all after all these years. I mean they were so traumatized they never mentioned it to their parents or best friends. No, they were so traumatized that they have been silently crying into their pillow just hoping someone would offer them some cash to tell their story.
