Ex cop says she was asked to stop Roy Moore from harassing young cheerleaders

A former Alabama police officer said she was asked to keep an eye on Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore in the 1980s because he was known to harass teen cheerleaders at local ball games.

Faye Gray spoke to MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell about the daily rumors of Moore being attracted to young girls. She was also informed that he had been banned from Gadsen Mall due to his targeting of young female employees.

“We were also told to watch him at the ball games and make sure that he didn’t hang around the cheerleaders,” Faye stated.

“The rumor was that Roy Moore likes young girls,” she went on. “It was not only in our department but at the courthouse, too.”

Faye is a 37-year police veteran who was a detective for the juvenile division in the 80s and said the department never took any action against Moore because they never got any complaints.

“Every day we were looking for a complaint to come in,” she said. “And I didn’t realize until sometime later that when they said he liked young girls, I just thought he liked young ladies, you know, maybe in their 20s. I had no idea, or we had no idea, that we were talking about 14-year-olds.”

Multiple women have spoken of being sexually molested, harassed or groped by Moore with the youngest alleged victim being 14 at the time. That was in 1979 when Moore was 32-years-old.

Moore has denied the allegations against him.
