Woman Who Says Roy Moore Sexually Abused Her as a Child Is Now Suing Him for Defamation
Last year in November Leigh Corfman told the world Roy Moore sexually abused her when she was just 14 years old. Moore, a veteran of Alabama politics for most of his life, went into action, and along with his political machine, attacked Corfman.
Now she's suing him and his campaign for defamation.
"Corfman is not seeking financial compensation beyond legal costs," The Washington Post reports Thursday afternoon. "She is asking for a declaratory judgment of defamation, a public apology from Moore, and a court-enforced ban on him or his campaign publicly attacking her again. She said in a statement that the suit seeks 'to do what I could not do as a 14-year-old hold Mr. Moore and those who enable him accountable.'"
One month before Alabama's special election in December, Corfman had told The Washington Post she was just 14 years old when Roy Moore, then 32, drove her to his home, removed her clothes and his clothes, touched her over her underwear and tried to get her to touch him over his. She says she told him she was uncomfortable and he drove her home.
