A Take on the Roy Moore Inbroglio - No. Two


From a reader:

He Was King of Regency Mall

You can take out the names as you wish but I just had to tell this story. The year was 1979 just like in most of Roy Moore's lurid accusations. I had finished college and the only job I could find was in the new mall, then Regency Square Mall. The store I worked at catered to more mature women, but we saw all the teenagers every weekend and some week nights.

His first name was XXXXX and I can't remember his last name. He was a teacher in the XXXXX system and I was told he was 30 years old. Even though his home was just, I was told, over the state line, he was usually in the mall every weekend with his posse of younger boys. Sometimes he was by himself. He never as far as I knew even ventured into the store where I worked but he made the rounds of the junior dress shops and places like that.

I certainly never heard that he had attacked anyone or even who he might have been dating. What I did hear was that this nicely dressed mature man would “bother” the girls in the teen stores. Some were flattered, but some found that it grew old quickly. Mr. Box was the manager of the mall and I never knew him to ban anyone, although looking back I'm sure he must have done so quietly from time to time. I did hear that XXXXX was banned from some of the stores, so that's not too unusual. I'm sure that Roy Moore fell into the same category.

Since last year I've thought a lot about XXXXX and just what he might have been up to. I'd heard he did have two male friends about his own age, although I only saw one of them. The one I never saw with him had moved out of the country to work so I assume he made a success. The other one I did see with him. His name was XXXXX XXXXX and yes he's the one currently awaiting trial on child pornography charges.

The point is you just never know. Just because Roy Moore wasn't banned from the mall in Gadsden doesn't mean he wasn't banned from certain stores. I wonder if anyone has checked his computer for images of young girls?

We feel this kind of story is all too common even when younger girls aren't involved, but they usually are. Here's a Shoals Crime story of one such young man with Peter Pan syndrome:

  1. No one knows if I have been banned from any stores but there is not an available list made public of stores from which I have not been banned. Just sayin...
