Alabama Judge: Roy Moore’s ‘Signature Is Identical to That on Beverly Young Nelson’s Yearbook’

Judge Vance happens to be married to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who served from 2009-2017. She increasingly can be seen on MSNBC.
On Monday Beverly Young Nelson with her attorney, Gloria Allred, came forward to charge “Judge” Roy Moore with sexual assault. She says she worked at a restaurant which he frequented.

One week later Moore offered to drive her home when her boyfriend was late in picking her up from the restaurant after her shift. Instead, he drove to the back of the restaurant building and sexually assaulted her. “I thought he was going to rape me,” she told reporters.
A flurry of Republican Senators later called on Moore to withdraw from the race, clearly finding her remarks credible.
