Right Wing Blog Gateway Pundit Seemingly Excuses Roy Moore For Molesting 14 Yr. Old Girl Because The Age Of Consent In Alabama At The Time Was 12
According to the Code of Alabama 1975 list of rules ( Section 13A-6-69.1 ) it was a crime to have sex with a minor 12 or under.
Ol Jim Hoft can't stop lying. Can he?
GP suggests in the above that 12 years old was the demarcation age for consent.
It was not.
Lack of consent.

How low do you have to be to suggest it was ok because the girl wasnt 12 or under?
Does not matter. Roy Moore will easily win the senate seat. Alabama is the epitome of the 'southern good ole boys club' enjoying mint juleps under the warm sunshine of The Antebellum South.
More importantly, the GOP senate deserves him.
Apparently many on the right are leaping to the defense of the molestation of 14 year olds.
I dont need a defense .
No one is "leaping" to his defense, we are just asking for proof? More than 40 year old accusations. Especially since they had any number of political opportunities to come forward over those 40 years......
Anyone with a brain would question the veracity of said claims especially since it is the media bringing them forward.....
Yeah well and what ever. Still waiting for the reports from those 'special investigators' dispatched to Hawaii by 'the donald' to investigate the alleged alien, ISIS infiltrator Obama.
"With brain?" Would that be with or without lysergic acid diethylamide?
