Roy Moore, the Republican candidate to replace Jeff Sessions’ Senate seat in Alabama, has been accused of initiating a sexual encounter with a 14 year old when he was 32. This was not the only accuser to step reveal themselves to The Washington Post. Now, a fifth woman has accused Moore of sexual misconduct, and the details are sickening.
Allred says Nelson’s family members say Nelson would get upset over the years when she saw Moore on television. Allred says Nelson’s mom says her daughter finally told her what happened four years ago.

Moore’s new accuser, Beverly Young Nelson, says she was 15, a waitress in Gadsden Alabama, at a restaurant where Moore was a regular when he was a district attorney. “I remember exactly where he sat,” she says.

Nelson says Moore asked to write in her yearbook. “He wrote in my yearbook as follows: To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Christmas 1977. Love, Roy Moore…and he signed it, Roy Moore, DA.”

(For all the “Allred getting involved is great news for Moore” jokes, this is extremely not good for Moore.)

Nelson: “He forced my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle. I was determined that I was not going to allow him to force me to have sex with him. I was terrified. He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought he was going to rape me.”

Nelson says she covered her black and blue bruising with makeup, deciding not to tell anyone, but quit her job the next day. “I never went back there again,” she says.

Allred says Nelson is not looking into any criminal charges or civil lawsuits, just wants to testify under oath at a hearing.
