Republican Roy Moore has recently won a defemation case related to false statutory rape accusations. Reminder that Donald Trump said those accusations were "credible" and then Moore lost an US Senate election in the deeply Republican state of Alabama.

Is it really necessary for someone to point out that you two are obviously arguing past each other?

One hand: Legal prosecution. The obvious: It is bad to prosecute based on lies.

Other hand: Social constraint. The obvious: It is unseemly as fuck for a grown man to be widely known for blatant ephhebo...macking on young chicks.

Some people found Moore's behavior nasty, and that is normal and okay. Other people attempted to legally prosecute Moore, and that appears to be unfounded and not okay. Nothing about this combination of true circumstances is incompatible.
