He touched her over her bra and led her hands to touch him over his underwear, she said. Three other women said Moore also made sexual advances to them when they were teenagers around the same time, according to the newspaper. Wendy Miller said she was working as a Santa’s helper at a mall when she was 14 when Moore first approached her. By the time she was 16, she said Moore was asking her out on dates. Moore, in a written statement to the Post, denied doing anything inappropriate. Only one Republican in the chamber, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, called on Moore to “immediately” step aside. Other Republicans, however, said that he ought to do so if the allegations are “found to be true,” as one senator put it. All four women are on the record, with their names and photographs appearing in the story. READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
