Report: Senate candidate Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter with underage girl

WASHINGTON - Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is accused of initiating a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32, according to the Washington Post.

Leigh Corfman said she was approached by Moore outside an Alabama courtroom in Etowah County and later exchanged numbers with him. He picked her up and kissed her, she said.

On another encounter, Corfman said Moore took off his clothes and undressed her while she touched his underwear.

'I wanted it over with - I wanted out,” she told The Post.

Two of Corfman's friends said she told them.

Three other women came forward and said Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18, but none of them said they were forced into sexual contact.

Moore vehemently denied the allegations.

'These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” he said.

Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said 'no comment” after the news broke. SLF spent money opposing Moore in the Alabama primary but backed him after he won that contest.
