Gloria Allred says Moore's new accuser, Beverly Young Nelson (?), has "kept her secret for more than 40 years" except for talking to family, "because she feared Mr. Moore."

Allred says Nelson's family members say Nelson would get upset over the years when she saw Moore on television. Allred says Nelson's mom says her daughter finally told her what happened four years ago.

"Beverly is willing to testify under oath," Allred says of Roy Moore's new accuser. "We urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold a public hearing as soon as possible."

Allred calls on the Senate Judiciary Committee to let Roy Moore's new accuser testify under oath, and compel Moore himself to respond.

Allred acknowledges she's a Dem, but says, contrary to Moore's attack, that the new accuser contacted her, not the other way around.

Moore's new accuser, Beverly Young Nelson, says she was 15, a waitress in Gadsden Alabama, at a restaurant where Moore was a regular when he was a district attorney. "I remember exactly where he sat," she says.

Nelson says Moore would touch her long hair, compliment her looks and flirt with her without her responding. Crying, she says, "I had a boyfriend. Second, even if I had not had a boyfriend, I was not interested in having a dating or sexual relationship with a man twice my age."

Nelson says Moore asked to write in her yearbook. "He wrote in my yearbook as follows: To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Christmas 1977. Love, Roy Moore...and he signed it, Roy Moore, DA."

Nelson says one night, her boyfriend hadn't showed up to pick her up from the restaurant; Moore noticed; he offered her a ride home; she accepted: "He was the district attorney."

(For all the "Allred getting involved is great news for Moore" jokes, this is extremely not good for Moore.)

Nelson, crying: Moore stopped the car, parked "in between the dumpster and the back of the restaurant." She was alarmed. "Instead of answering my question, Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me...putting his hands on my breasts." Then locked the door so she couldn't escape.

Nelson: "He forced my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle. I was determined that I was not going to allow him to force me to have sex with him. I was terrified. He was also trying to pull my shirt off. I thought he was going to rape me."

Nelson says Moore looked at her and said, "You're just a child and I am the district attorney...if you tell anyone about this, no one will ever believe you." Then let her leave. He "burned rubber," she says, leaving her lying on concrete in the dark.

Nelson says she covered her black and blue bruising with makeup, deciding not to tell anyone, but quit her job the next day. "I never went back there again," she says.

Nelson says she and her husband, a truck driver, voted for Trump. She says this has nothing to do with Republicans. She thought she was the only victim, she says; if not for the Post story, she would have probably taken this to her grave.

Allred shows the media Moore's "Love, Roy Moore, DA" inscription in Nelson's yearbook.

Here's the yearbook inscription:

Allred says Nelson is not looking into any criminal charges or civil lawsuits, just wants to testify under oath at a hearing.
