Birmingham, November 14 (RHC)-- In news from the U.S. state of Alabama, a fifth woman has come forward to accuse Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct.  Beverly Young Nelson says Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old.  At the time, he was in his thirties. Nelson said the incident occurred after Moore offered to drive her home from her waitressing job.

Beverly Young Nelson said she tried to pull off blouse and that she was "terrified," believing he was going to rape her.  She said that he warned her not to tell anyone, saying that no one would believe her anyway.

Meanwhile, The New Yorker magazine reports Roy Moore was banned from a local mall and a YMCA in Alabama because he repeatedly badgered teenage girls, in some cases soliciting sex from young girls.  Moore, a former state judge, has denied the accusations. 

Meanwhile, a growing number of Republican Party leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are urging Moore to drop out ahead of the December 12th special election to fill Jeff Sessions’s former seat.
