Alabama pastor on Roy Moore allegations: 'There are some 14-year-olds' who 'could pass for 20'

A decade or two ago I lived in Germany and went to the Netherlands where they've had weed shops for years. You have to be 18 to buy it, I was 21 at the time. I met someone there after I'd seen her buy some weed. Figured she was at least 18, but I found out she was just 14 after I'd taken her home. I backed the fuck off immediately because it was creeping me out even though 14 was legal for sexual intercourse at the time (dunno if thats still the case in Germany). She may have been more mature than I was in many ways, but holy shit did that make me uncomfortable.

It's not about "what they could pass for", it's about how you approach the matter. If you go hunting high schools or otherwise deliberately engage young people like Mr Moore you're going to make people into victims. The girl I met probably would've been fine if I had gone through with it, but clearly some of these young ladies were upset at the things that happened if they come out with it years after the fact.
