Republican Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore has
been attacked viciously in recent weeks amid claims that he sexually assaulted
teenage girls nearly four decades ago.
Last
week, accuser Beverly Young Nelson and her attorney, Gloria Allred,
held a news conference during
which Nelson claimed Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16-years-old.
During
the news conference, they brought forward a yearbook that reportedly had
Moore’s signature in it, with an inscription complimenting Nelson’s appearance.
Moore has challenged the validity of the yearbook note, calling it
a forgery and requesting that it go before a handwriting expert for analysis.
In
a Skype interview with Breitbart, a man, Jeff DeVine, who said he
dated Nelson around the same time that she claims to have been sexually
assaulted by Moore contends that he doesn’t believe the allegations made by
Nelson.
Jeff DeVine, who is now a minister in Thailand, said he went to
high school with Nelson and remembers dating her around 1977. DeVine also
brought forward a high school yearbook, which he said contains an inscribed
message from Nelson.
Per
the yearbook, the inscription was signed “Beverly Young,” which is Nelson’s maiden name.
A screenshot of the yearbook from Breitbart also shows “Beverly
Young” wrote a lengthy message, where she even explained where her house was
located.
The
yearbook inscription bolsters DeVine’s claims that he and Nelson knew each
other — and knew each other very well — around the time she claims Moore
assaulted her.
“I certainly wouldn’t qualify as an expert, but I have been in
ministry for many years,” DeVine told Breitbart. “I have dealt with a lot of
people. People that have been through trauma. People that have been molested or
hurt and all kinds of situations.”
“I
have learned to just study body language and the way a person tells a story.
And as I said, I wouldn’t qualify, I am sure, in a court of law as being an
expert – but just from my experience, I didn’t find her story believable. And
the way she told it,” he added.
DeVine
took issue with Nelson’s story and the accusations she has levied against
Moore.
“I could only guess to her
motive,” DeVine said. “Whether somebody has offered her something to do this. I
really couldn’t say. I would only be guessing.”
DeVine
is the second person who claims to know Nelson and has publicly questioned her
allegations against Moore.
Nelson’s stepson, Darrell Nelson, said last week that
his stepmom’s accusations against Moore were “100 percent a lie.”
The
yearbook, which plays a big role in Nelson’s claim, has been challenged by
Moore.
Last
Wednesday, Moore’s attorney demanded that Allred and Nelson allow a
handwriting expert to analyze the yearbook to
verify that it has not been tampered with or forged.
Allred
said she would only hand over the yearbook if Moore testified before a congressional
hearing, but she also won’t unequivocally say the yearbook is credible, either.
Allred refused to say whether
Moore’s signature in Nelson’s yearbook was authentic.
“Well, all I’m saying is we will permit an
independent examiner of the writing to look at exemplars of (the) former judge
… we will allow all of this to be asked and answered at the hearing,” Allred
replied.
Moore
has vehemently denied the
allegations made against him in recent weeks.
Allred’s
refusal to release the yearbook for analysis, coupled with DeVine saying
Nelson’s accusations against Moore are unbelievable, raises serious questions
about whether Moore actually did the things he has been accused of doing.
Nelson’s
ex-boyfriend claiming that she is lying is a major revelation — but don’t
expect to see it in the “lame stream, presstitute media.
