No, Roy Moore accuser didn't admit she forged his signature in her yearbook

A conspiracy-minded website attempted to cast doubt on evidence presented by one of eight women who accused Roy Moore of sexual assault in a misleading headline days ahead of the Alabama Senate race.

"WE CALLED IT! Gloria Allred Accuser **ADMITS** She Tampered With Roy Moore’s Yearbook ‘Signature’ (VIDEO)," the headline reads on The Gateway Pundit. We found similar posts on Breitbart, "Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook," and on the blog Silence is Consent, "Roy Moore accuser admits she forged yearbook inscription."



But Nelson does not claim she tampered with Moore’s actual signature. She said she added a time and location below the signature. Nelson still attributes the note and signature to Moore.

We rate the statement Pants on Fire.

It isn't just the writing, it is the age of the paper and of the ink, etc.

7. Well, it turns out that Alfred did get a handwriting expert who confirmed that it was real.

Newsweek reported this.

But it was obvious to me when I saw the 2nd woman's handwritten note from him, the one she kept in her scrapbook. Moore's attorney could produce dozens of experts claiming the opposite, but I wouldn't believe them.

3. Right. She labeled it with the place and date, in her own printing, with no attempt
