And now Republican politicians are twisting themselves into knots defending former judge and current senate candidate ( senate candidate!) and always bible-thumping Roy Moore's right to lure a 14-year old girl to his lair, have her undress for him, and then manipulate the child into touching his erection.  Even if these allegations turn out to be false...the justifications (i.e. Mary was a teen and Joseph was an adult) will remain ignominious statements in support of predator pedophiles.
