Washington Post: Woman Alleges Roy Moore Initiated Sexual Advances When She Was 14

Roy Moore

Four women have come forward accusing Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of inappropriate sexual advances to each of them when they were teens.

From the Washington Post:

Leigh Corfman says she was 14 years old when an older man approached her outside a courtroom in Etowah County, Ala. She was sitting on a wooden bench with her mother, they both recall, when the man introduced himself as Roy Moore.

It was early 1979 and Moore — now the Republican nominee in Alabama for a U.S. Senate seat — was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. He struck up a conversation, Corfman and her mother say, and offered to watch the girl while her mother went inside for a child custody hearing.

“He said, ‘Oh, you don’t want her to go in there and hear all that. I’ll stay out here with her,’ ” says Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71. “I thought, how nice for him to want to take care of my little girl.”

Alone with Corfman, Moore chatted with her and asked for her phone number, she says. Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.

“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.

Moore denies all of the allegations.

After Donald Trump won the presidency despite being heard to say "Grab'em by the pussy" on video, I have no doubt the voters of Alabama will not care if this story is true or not.

Roy Moore accused of pedophilia by multiple women.
His opponent prosecuted the white supremacists who killed 4 little girls in the Birmingham church bombings.
Ordinarily, a civil rights hero is more electable than a molester.
But we're talking about Alabama.
