Roy Moore Married Beverly Young Nelson’s High School Classmate

According to a latest report, one of the women who accused former Alabama Judge and present GOP senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual assault not only went to the same high school as his wife, Kayla Moore, but was also her classmate.

While studying at Southside High School in Etowah County, Alabama, Kayla shared the same classroom as Beverly Young Nelson, who Monday became the fifth woman to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct.

In an emotional press conference, Nelson revealed how the alleged attack took place and also showed the room of reporters her high school yearbook, which was signed by Roy, who was then a district attorney and pointed out her picture taken in her sophomore year of high school.

While digging through the copy of the same yearbook that is archived at the Southside Public Library, reporter William Thornton of AL.Com discovered the picture of Kayla, who had graduated in the summer of 1977 with Nelson.

Nelson studied in Southside High School from 1975 through the summer of 1977 and then transferred to Gadsden High School, after which the alleged attack took place. There is no evidence to suggest Kayla knew Nelson at all.

Roy was a regular customer at the restaurant, Olde Hickory House, where Nelson waited tables in 1977. She had taken her yearbook with her to the restaurant on the day of the alleged assault, which was also the day she got his signature.

On the night of the attack, the then 31-year-old Roy offered Nelson — 16 year old at the time — a ride home, but instead drove her to the back of the parking lot, pulled up next to a dumpster and started assaulting her.

“Mr Moore reached over and began groping me, putting his hands on my breasts,” Nelson said. “I tried fighting him off, while yelling at him to stop, but instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his crotch. I was terrified. He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought that he was going to rape me. I was twisting and struggling and begging him to stop. I had tears running down my face.”

So far, Roy has denied every allegation of sexual harassment filed by six women against him. On Tuesday, he laughed off the accusations made against him by Nelson at a campaign event at Walker Springs Road Baptist Church in Alabama.

“Obviously I've made a few people mad. I'm the only one that can unite Democrats and Republicans, because I seem to be opposed by both,” Roy said, Mail Online reported.

Kayla has also refused to believe the accusations against her husband, extending her unwavering support to Moore on social media. She equated the attack against her husband to the “exact same thing” that was pulled against President Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential race.

“Going on two months now they've been on a witchhunt here in Etowah County and our state advertising people to step forward with accusations and we are gathering evidence of money being paid to people who would come forward,” Kayla wrote in a Facebook post. “Which is part of why we are filing suit!”
