Sacha Baron Cohen Humiliated An Accused Child Molester This Week On “Who Is America?”

Sacha Baron Cohen confronted a US politician accused of sexually assaulting a minor in the latest deeply, deeply, deeply uncomfortable episode of his new series Who Is America?

The segment saw Baron Cohen once again pose as Israeli ex-Mossad agent Erran Morad during an interview with former Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore. During the encounter, the disguised comedian boasted about a new Israeli technology that can detect sexual predators.

“Sex offenders and particularly pedophiles secrete an enzyme which is actually detectable,” he told Moore. “It is three times the level as non perverts so the phrase ‘sweating like a rapist’ is actually based on science.”

Moore made headlines during his 2017 campaign after nine women accused him of sexual misconduct, including one woman who claimed he assaulted her when she was just 14 years old.

Moore ultimately lost the race to Democrat party candidate Doug Jones — a huge upset in deeply conservative Alabama — despite receiving an endorsement from another alleged sexual predator in President Donald Trump.

Baron Cohen proceeded to whip out his device for a demonstration, telling Moore not to worry “because neither of us are sex offenders”. But when he waved the wand over the politician’s torso — surprise, surprise — it immediately started to beep.

“It must be faulty,” Baron Cohen said, before trying again with the exact same result.

“Is this your jacket?” he then asks. “Did you lend the jacket to somebody else?”

“I’ve been married for 33 [years] and never had an accusation of such things,” said Moore. “Certainly, I’m not a paedophile. Maybe Israeli technology hasn’t developed properly.”

“This is 99.8 percent accurate,” Baron Cohen insisted, before Moore abruptly walked out of the interview.
