Non-consensual and unwanted sexual contact is NOT "having sex." It is molestation/assault/abuse/rape.

Sexual predator. Media needs to face the reality of four accusations of sexual predatory behaviors.

As in "Roy Moore fucks children."
Quit pulling punches.

Appropriate for a fucking scumbag.

Just wonder how many other young girls were not as successful in speaking up and fending off his advances. We will never know, because the shame and embarrassment would be so much greater with those who did not manage to get away from him.

(10,167 posts)8. Yesterday, Lester Holt referred to it as "dating."
I was shocked to hear that. Seriously shocked that anyone would consider that "dating." I'm hoping that he was quoting someone else when I popped on the tube and heard that because I really like him. Anyone hear that yesterday on Nightly News? Was he quoting the Moore-on?

They may not have been his words.
