Roy Moore’s Wife Reportedly First Caught His Eye When She Was a Teenager and He Was Nearly 30

According to statements made by Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore — who is an alleged of inappropriate sexual behavior with underaged girls — his wife first caught his eye when she was just a 15 or 16-year-old high school student and he was a nearly 30-year-old deputy district attorney.

The timeline of Moore and Kayla Moore’s relationship was first noticed by AL.com columnist Kyle Whitmire, as he pulled quotes from the former an interview with the former Alabama Supreme Court justice.

“When I was deputy district attorney, many years before we got married, I saw her at a dance recital and I was standing, oh, at the back of the auditorium and I saw her up front. I remember her name, it was Kayla Kisor. KK. But I remember that and I didn’t meet her there… It was, oh gosh, eight years later or something, I met her. And when she told me her name, I remembered,” said Moore.

The two did not meet at that time, but the fact that Moore admits to first noticing her when she was so young is particularly noteworthy as he has been accused of making sexual advances on girls as young as 14. These disturbing allegations against the Senate hopeful aside, there is no evidence that Moore initiated any form of contact with Kayla Moore until eight years later when they met at a Christmas party.

CNN reports that in Moore’s 2005 book, titled “So Help Me God: The Ten Commandments, Judicial Tyranny, and the Battle for Religious Freedom,” he wrote, “I knew Kayla was going to be a special person in my life… Anxious to meet her, I began with the line, ‘Haven’t we met somewhere before?’ ‘I don’t think so,’ she replied.”
