Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is pushing back on reports he sought sexual encounters with teens and minors in the 1970s by questioning the timing of the allegations and pointing to what he says is a sterling reputation as a public servant and private citizen.
But local Alabama reporting dating as far back as 2002 suggests his reputation in the state has been anything but sterling, and that his supposedly disturbing behavior has been a topic of discussion in and around his hometown for decades.
Moore has flat-out denied the worst of the allegations found in a Washington Post report published last week, including that he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and that he gave another minor alcohol while on a date.
He has also questioned the timing of the Post report, suggesting that it is all part of a larger smear campaign spearheaded by the press and the Democratic Party.
