Roy Moore collects funds for legal defense

Former GOP U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore established a fund to pay for legal battles he will soon face in court regarding a recent defamation suit by Leigh Corfman, who accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 14 years old.

The Washington Post reported that Moore pursued relationships with teenagers while he was a 30-year-old assistant district attorney in Etowah County four weeks before the election. Corfman said in the story that Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a 14 year old in the late 1970s.

Moore and his campaign denied both allegations and said the report was a coordinated effort by Washington Establishment figures and the newspaper.

Corfman, in her lawsuit against Moore and his campaign, said that Moore’s comments about her caused emotional distress and that she had to take a leave of absence from her job for the duration of the Senate election.
