Click here         Another Woman Says Roy Moore Sexually Assaulted Her As A Teen Another woman has come forward to say that Alabama Republican Roy Moore sexually abused her when she was a teen and he was more than a decade older.  Beverly Young Nelson, who is represented by attorney Gloria Allred, told her story at a New York press conference on Monday. Nelson, who met Moore through her job as a waitress, recalled an incident in which Moore offered to give her a ride home one night in 1977. But instead of taking her home, she said, he drove around the restaurant to a deserted area and assaulted her.  “I thought that he was going to rape me,” Nelson said. At the time, she was 16 and he was in his 30s. After a struggle, Nelson said, Moore let her go with a threat. “He looked at me, and he told me, ‘You’re just a child.’ And he said, ‘I am the district attorney of Etowah County, and if you tell anyone about this, no one will ever believe you,’” she added.  A representative for Moore responded to news of the press conference with a personal attack against Allred, calling her a “sensationalist leading a witch hunt” in a statement that also referenced the attorney’s role in abortion policy.
