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 dont want her to go in there and hear all that. Ill stay out here with her, says Corfmans 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.

Two of Corfmans childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore. Wells says her daughter told her about the encounter more than a decade later, as Moore was becoming more prominent as a local judge.

Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older. None of the women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.

Wendy Miller says she was 14 and working as a Santas helper at the Gadsden Mall when Moore first approached her, and 16 when he asked her on dates, which her mother forbade. Debbie Wesson Gibson says she was 17 when Moore spoke to her high school civics class and asked her out on the first of several dates that did not progress beyond kissing. Gloria Thacker Deason says she was an 18-year-old cheerleader when Moore began taking her on dates that included bottles of Mateus Ros wine. The legal drinking age in Alabama was 19.

Of the four women, the youngest at the time was Corfman, who is the only one who says she had sexual contact with Moore that went beyond kissing. She says they did not have intercourse.

In a written statement, Moore denied the allegations.
...
Corfman, 53, who works as a customer service representative at a payday loan business, says she has voted for Republicans in the past three presidential elections, including for Donald Trump in 2016. She says she thought of confronting Moore personally for years, and almost came forward publicly during his first campaign for state Supreme Court in 2000, but decided against it. Her two children were still in school then and she worried about how it would affect them. She also was concerned that her background three divorces and a messy financial history might undermine her credibility.

Nothing is going to change the minds of Roy Moore supporters.

To them, his committing sexual assault is all the more reason to support him, just because it pisses off his opponents. It's a group totally impervious to decency or reason.

Haha! Republicans are weighing in already suggesting he step aside. Even talking about a write in campaign for Strange. A split Alabama vote would probably mean a Jones victory. Imagine Alabama with a Democrat senator. LMAO


I'll literally cry in laughter if the Republicans fuck up an easy Senate seat they have no business losing. Not to mention this shouldn't even be close to begin with.

Let's see, a pedophile and homophobic wannabe "cowboy" who openly took contributions from a neo-Nazi group in his past or a guy who fought literal Klan members that murdered children. Come on Alabama

I doubt it.

<redcaps>We will vote for Moore because Moore is a man of values and represents the baptist/evangelical principles, unlike Jones.

Does anyone actually think a Democrat has a chance winning in Alabama?

The GOP could pull Moore a day before the election and run anyone as long as there is an R next to the name on the ballot.

Well, the rules are a bit fuzzier on that; the ballots have already been printed for one.

It's unclear (from what I've seen) what happens if he gets the most votes but doesn't get certified as the winner, whether the seat goes to the second-place candidate, the GOP, or just remains unwon.

why wouldn't he get certified? if he's been indited? is that even possible for a near 40 year old event? why not just certify him, and then remove him from office?

it would leave the seat empty for a year, i think, but wouldn't that be better (from their perspective) than having a Jones there for the rest of the term?

Doug Jones has the best chance that democrats have had in the state in a long time. He's been tied with Moore for a while now in polls and while he's not favored he's been gaining ground. I'm shilling hard af to everyone I know who's disinterested to go vote for him

The GOP establishment all have came out and said if the allegations are true that Moore should step down. I fully could see Trump pushing his voters to jump onto Strange and some half assed effort to make him the write in, but if they really try to split the vote it's going to blow up in their faces.

This is what happens when you embrace the Bannoites, GOP
