WASHINGTON – Cu o luna inaintea alegerilor speciale din Alabama, candidatul republican al Senatului, Roy Moore, s-a confruntat brusc cu acuzatii joi de comportament sexual cu minori in urma cu zeci de ani – si o reactie imediata din partea liderilor de partid care au cerut sa renunte la cursa daca acuzatiile se dovedesc adevarate.
Caderea imediata a urmat unui raport al Washington Post in care o femeie din Alabama a spus ca Moore, pe atunci un procuror de district asistent in varsta de 32 de ani, a avut contact sexual cu ea cand avea 14 ani. Alte trei femei intervievate de Posta au declarat Moore, acum 70 de ani. , de asemenea, s-a apropiat de ei cand aveau varste cuprinse intre 16 si 18 ani si el era la inceputul anilor 30.
Campania Moore a respins raportul ca fiind „definitia propriu-zisa a stirilor false si a defaimarii intentionate”.
“Judecatorul Roy Moore a indurat cele mai extravagante atacuri asupra oricarui candidat din arena politica moderna, insa aceasta poveste din Washington Post de astazi, care sustine improprietatea sexuala, ia tortul”, a declarat campania, mentionand ca Moore a fost casatorita cu aceeasi femeie pentru 33 de ani. ani si are patru copii si cinci nepoti.
Moore, fosta justitie a Curtii Supreme din Alabama, si-a facut numele in politica republicana prin devotamentul sau public fata de pozitiile conservatoare crestine. El a fost inlaturat de doua ori din functia de Curte Suprema, odata pentru neascultarea unei ordonante judecatoresti federale de a scoate un monument de zece portiuni din granit de 5.200 de lire din holul cladirii judiciare de stat si ulterior pentru indemnarea judecatorilor de proba de stat sa sfideze decizia Curtii Supreme a SUA. casatorie homosexuala legalizata.
Joi, seniorii republicani au solicitat rapid Moore sa se desprinda de cursa Senatului, daca se arata ca afirmatiile sunt adevarate. Iar omul pe care l-a invins in primarul republican, actualul senator Luther Strange, a lasat deschisa posibilitatea de a reintra in campanie.
Numele lui Moore nu poate fi scos din buletinul de vot inainte de alegerile speciale din 12 decembrie, chiar daca se retrage din cursa, potrivit lui John Bennett, un purtator de cuvant al secretarului de stat din Alabama. O campanie de inscriere ramane posibila, a adaugat Bennett.
Ciudat nu ar spune imediat daca va reintra in cursa.
– Ei bine, asta aduce caruta inaintea calului. Dar voi avea ceva de spus despre asta. Permiteti-mi sa fac mai multe cercetari ”, a spus el pentru AP.
Alegerile speciale din Alabama sunt sa completeze postul vacant creat atunci cand Trump l-a ocupat pe fostul senator Jeff Sessions pentru a ocupa functia de avocat general al SUA. Guvernatorul Robert Bentley a numit-o pe Strange in functia de interimar.
Reactia dupa ce povestea Post a fost publicata online a fost rapida si severa.
„Afirmatiile impotriva candidatului Senatului Alabama, Roy Moore, sunt profund tulburatoare”, a declarat presedintele senatorului din Colorado, Cory Gardner, care conduce bratul campaniei Senatului GOP. „Daca se constata ca aceste afirmatii sunt adevarate, Roy Moore trebuie sa renunte la alegerile speciale ale Senatului din Alabama.”
Liderul majoritatii Senatului, Mitch McConnell, a adaugat: „Daca aceste afirmatii sunt adevarate, el trebuie sa se dea deoparte.”
The intensity of the reaction may partly reflect lingering bad feelings from the primary contest between Strange and Moore, held in late September, that pitted much of the Republican establishment — including President Donald Trump — behind Strange and the GOP’s more conservative flank — including former Trump strategist Steve Bannon — behind Strange.
Neither Bannon nor the White House had an immediate comment.
The Post reported that Moore, then 32, first approached 14-year-old Leigh Corfman in early 1979 outside a courtroom in Etowah county, Alabama.

After phone calls and meetings, he drove her to his home some days later and kissed her, the Post quotes Corfman as saying. On a second visit, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes except for his underwear before touching her over her bra and underpants, Corfman told the Post. He also guided her hand to touch him over his underwear, she said.
“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she told the Post. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.”
In Washington at least, few Republicans came to Moore’s defense in the hours after the report was published.
“The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying,” said Arizona Sen. John McCain. “He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of.”
Texas Sen. John Cornyn said, “If it is true I don’t think his candidacy is sustainable.”
Alabama law lists the legal age of consent as 16.
The state’s statute of limitations for bringing felony charges involving sexual abuse of a minor in 1979 would have run out three years later. Corfman never filed a police report or a civil suit, the Post said.
None of the other women said that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.
