Locals Were Troubled by Roy Moore\u2019s Interactions with Teen Girls at the Gadsden Mall<\/h1>\n

Is this the handwriting of a predator of underage girls.  According to the 5th woman to accuse the US senator of inappropriate actions now coming forward 40 years later.<\/p>\n

While sexual misconduct cannot always be spotted in someone’s personality, are their any indicators here than this 30 year old District attorney acted on his impulses to date and sexually harass under age girls? <\/p>\n

I see a ton of anger, sarcasm, enthusiasm, and domineering nature.  I also see a self-conscious M hump which indicates his fear of rejection.<\/p>\n

Roy Moore’s handwritten note to a 16-year girl who worked at a diner where he purportedly attacked and sexually assaulted her.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

oy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate and former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, was born in Gadsden, a small city flanked by Interstate 59 and the Coosa River, an hour northeast of Birmingham.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gadsden is hilly, woodsy, blue-collar, and religious. \u201cLEGAL OR NOT, SIN IS SIN<\/em>,\u201d a sign in front of a church announced yesterday. I saw it as I drove around, crisscrossing George Wallace Drive. I also saw Trump posters, Confederate flags, and dozens of signs for Doug Jones, the Democrat tied with Moore in recent Senate-race polls<\/a>. Gadsden is the seat of Etowah County, which is a conservative place; Donald Trump received three times as many votes in the county as Hillary Clinton did. (Statewide, he received twice as many.) But I didn\u2019t, in all my driving, see a single yard sign for Moore, the home-town son. Even the parking lot of the one mall in town had more bumper stickers for Luther Strange (four), Moore\u2019s opponent in the Republican primary, than for Moore himself (one).<\/p>\n

The Gadsden Mall opened in 1974. It has two department stores, Belk and Sears, one on each end. Between them, on Sunday night, I walked past Books-A-Million, Cellular Solutions, a Japanese steak house, Great American Cookies, Blacklight Mini-Golf, KnockerBall Gadsden, an eyebrow-styling kiosk, and a clothing store for young girls, called Justice. A diverse assortment of families wandered around the place, which felt trapped in time. Two young security guards made their rounds. \u201cIt gets rough in here on Saturday nights,\u201d one of them told me, mentioning fighting, stealing, and gun-toting. \u201cWe still have an active ban list,\u201d the other said, referencing a list of chronic rule-breakers not allowed on mall property. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t go back that far.\u201d<\/p>\n

He meant back to the early eighties, when Roy Moore was, many people say, a regular visitor to the mall. On Thursday, the Washington Post<\/em> reported that, when Moore was a thirty-two-year-old assistant district attorney in Etowah County, he brought Leigh Corfman, who was fourteen years old at the time, to his home and sexually molested her<\/a>. Three additional women told the Post<\/em> that Moore had pursued them when they were in their teens and he was in his early thirties. (On Monday, another woman, Beverly Young Nelson, said that Moore assaulted her<\/a> when she was sixteen years old. At a press conference, she held up a high-school yearbook that she said Moore signed before the alleged assault.) Two of the women say that they first met Moore at the Gadsden Mall, and the Post<\/em> reports that several other women who used to work there remembered Moore\u2019s frequent presence\u2014\u201cusually alone\u201d and \u201cwell-dressed in slacks and a button-down shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This past weekend, I spoke or messaged with more than a dozen people\u2014including a major political figure in the state\u2014who told me that they had heard, over the years, that Moore had been banned from the mall because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls. Some say that they heard this at the time, others in the years since. These people include five members of the local legal community, two cops who worked in the town, several people who hung out at the mall in the early eighties, and a number of former mall employees. (A request for comment from the Moore campaign was not answered.) Several of them asked that I leave their names out of this piece. The stories that they say they\u2019ve heard for years have been swirling online in the days since the Post<\/em> published its report. \u201cSources tell me Moore was actually banned from the Gadsden Mall and the YMCA<\/a> for his inappropriate behavior of soliciting sex from young girls,\u201d the independent Alabama journalist Glynn Wilson wrote on his Web site on Sunday. (Wilson declined to divulge his sources.) Teresa Jones, a deputy district attorney for Etowah County in the early eighties, told CNN last week that \u201cit was common knowledge that Roy dated high-school girls<\/a>.\u201d Jones told me that she couldn\u2019t confirm the alleged mall banning, but said, \u201cIt\u2019s a rumor I\u2019ve heard for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg Legat, who is now fifty-nine and living in East Gadsden, was, from 1981 to 1985, an employee at the Record Bar, a store that was in the Gadsden Mall. By the early eighties, Legat told me, the mall was \u201cthe place to be. There were no empty stores. And lots of kids came around. Lots of teen-agers. You went there to see and be seen.\u201d Legat met his wife, Jo Anne, there. She worked at a restaurant called Orange Bowl. Legat remembers that parents dropped their kids off at the mall, typically unchaperoned. Teens filled the place.<\/p>\n

Legat says that he saw Moore there a few times, even though his understanding then was that he had already been banned. \u201cIt started around 1979, I think,\u201d Legat said. \u201cI know the ban was still in place when I got there.\u201d Legat recalled a Gadsden police officer named J. D. Thomas, now retired, who worked security at the mall. \u201cJ. D. was a fixture there, when I was working at the store,\u201d Legat said. \u201cHe really looked after the kids there. He was a good guy. J. D. told me, \u2018If you see Roy, let me know. He\u2019s banned from the mall.\u2019 \u201d Legat recalled Thomas telling him, \u201cIf you see Moore here, tell me. I\u2019ll take care of him.\u2019 \u201d Legat said that his boss, Eddie Hill, also told him to look for Moore. A phone call to Hill\u2019s number was not returned.<\/p>\n

Reached by phone on Saturday, Thomas, who lives in the nearby town of Southside, declined to discuss the existence of a ban on Moore at the Gadsden Mall. \u201cI don\u2019t have anything to say about that,\u201d he said. A former manager of the mall, who began working there in the late eighties, confirmed the existence of a ban list, but did not recall Moore being on the list during the manager\u2019s tenure there. Barnes Boyle, who is eighty-six, also managed the mall, from 1981 to 1998. His wife, Brenda, told me that Moore was a longtime acquaintance of his\u2014they went to the Y.M.C.A. together often\u2014and that he planned to vote for him. The recent allegations against Moore, the Boyles thought, are likely liberal propaganda and, as Brenda put it, \u201ca sign of the times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Nelms, an I.T. worker who grew up in nearby Southside and now lives in Tennessee, regularly visited the Gadsden Mall as a teen-ager, in the early eighties. \u201cIt was a joke from one of the managers\/assistant managers that they couldn\u2019t keep an eye on their theater and an eye on the kids outside,\u201d he explained to me via Facebook Messenger. \u201cUs kids would congregate outside on the sidewalk near the theater after the mall closed on Friday and Saturday nights. Anyway, when asked why they had to keep an eye outside, they said that some older guy had been trying to pick up younger girls. They didn\u2019t go beyond that but one of the concession workers whispered to us later that it was Roy Moore he was talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gadsden\u2019s current law-enforcement community could not confirm the existence of a mall ban on Moore. But two officers I spoke to this weekend, both of whom asked to remain unnamed, told me that they have long heard stories about Moore and the mall. \u201cThe general knowledge at the time when I moved here was that this guy is a lawyer cruising the mall for high-school dates,\u201d one of the officers said. The legal age of consent in Alabama is sixteen, so it would not be illegal there for a man in his early thirties to date a girl who was, say, a senior in high school. But these officers, along with the other people I spoke to, said that Moore\u2019s presence at the mall was regarded as a problem. \u201cI was told by a girl who worked at the mall that he\u2019d been run off from there, from a number of stores. Maybe not legally banned, but run off,\u201d one officer told me. He also said, \u201cI heard from one girl who had to tell the manager of a store at the mall to get Moore to leave her alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second officer went further. \u201cA friend of mine told me he was banned from there,\u201d he said. He added, \u201cI actually voted for Moore. I liked him at one time. But I\u2019m basically disgusted now, to be honest with you. Some of the things he\u2019s said recently, I\u2019ve changed my tune completely about this guy.\u201d He went on, explaining why Moore no longer appeals to him. \u201cWhen I heard what he said on \u2018Hannity\u2019 the other night,\u201d he said, referring to an appearance Moore made on Sean Hannity\u2019s radio show<\/a> last Friday, \u201cI almost stood straight up. The thing about how he\u2019s never dated anybody without their mother\u2019s permission, that appalled me. That made me want to throw up. Why would you need someone\u2019s permission to date somebody? I\u2019m probably gonna write in Luther Strange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore has mounted various defenses since the Post<\/em> story appeared. Among these is his \u201cspecial concern for the protection of young ladies,\u201d as he put it to Hannity. The Fox News host pressed for specifics. \u201cI don\u2019t know Ms. Corfman from anybody,\u201d Moore went on. \u201cI never talked to her, never had any contact with her. Allegations of sexual misconduct with her are completely false. I believe they are politically motivated. I believe they are brought only to stop a very successful campaign, and that\u2019s what they are doing. I\u2019ve never known this woman.\u201d When questioned about the other women cited in the Post<\/em> story, he said that he couldn\u2019t be expected to remember every woman he\u2019d ever dated. \u201cAfter my return from the military,\u201d he said, \u201cI dated a lot of young ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
