Roy Moore’s latest accuser, Beverly Young Nelson, stood alongside Gloria Allred and made a compelling accusation of her own. She basically accused Moore of trying to rape her when she was just 16.

Moore adamantly denied her claims.
“I want to make it perfectly clear, the people of Alabama know me, they know my character, they know what I’ve stood for in the political world for over 40-years,” Moore said. “I can tell you without hesitation, this is absolutely false. I never did what she said I did. I don’t even know the woman. I don’t know anything about her. I don’t even know where the restaurant is or was. If you look at this situation you’ll see because I’m eleven or ten points or eleven points ahead, this race being just 28 days off, that this is a political maneuver and has nothing to do with reality. It’s all about politics.”

The thing is, we’re all having a hard time believing that, because Nelson presented “proof.” He signed her yearbook. It reads, “To a sweeter, more beautiful girl, I could not say ‘Merry Christmas. Love, Roy Moore D.A.”
It’s hard to argue with that, right?
Well, stop right there. Don’t shoot the messenger, but some are NOW suggesting that the note was forged. Cue journalist and author Thomas Wictor.
(40) ADDENDUM: Unless Moore's handwriting has changed, the yearbook signature is a forgery.
Look at the "R" and "y" in "Roy."
Also, "12-22-77" and "Olde Hickory House" were written by a different person.
Look at the two versions of the number "7." pic.twitter.com/dn4z1dMiUe

(41) "Old Hickory House" in Gadsden was never called "Olde Hickory House."
The person who forged the signature got the name wrong. pic.twitter.com/1Op8ZpvWKl

Also, people are saying it’s odd that he signed the yearbook with “D.A.” when he was a Deputy District Attorney (DDA) during that period.
Even the D.A seems to be a bit off from the signature IMO.

I SAW THAT TOO.
The accuser to this day calls him the District Attorney.
He was NEVER District attorney. He was DEPUTY DA.

In my opinion, the signature is forged.
The "Olde Hickory House" and date were DEFINITELY written by someone else.
No question whatsoever. https://t.co/VYTCikFwtA

(51) ADDENDUM THREE: @yomama12365 makes a great point:
Yearbooks are published at the end of the school year: summer.

What do you think? Fake? Or is this outlandish and crazy?
