Moore accuser's attorney: "I'm sure she was scared to death" to report sexual encounter
Alabama.com ^ | November 10, 2017 | By Anna Claire Vollers

An attorney for Leigh Corfman, whose story of a sexual encounter with Roy Moore when he was 32 and she was 14, broke today, said Corfman stands by her story.

Hoover attorney Eddie Sexton told AL.com that Corfman has wanted to publicly talk about the time in 1979 when Moore dated her, but never felt like it was the right time.

"Her kids are out of the house now, grown, and I think she felt like it was the right time to do it," said Sexton. "I'm sure she was scared to death."

Corfman had been talking with reporters from the Washington Post for several weeks, he said.

Sexton said Corfman's decision wasn't affected by the Harvey Weinstein scandal, in which numerous women have publicly accused the movie producer of sexual harassment and assault.

"She really thought about it before she (decided to speak publicly)," Sexton said, in part because Gadsden is a close-knit community.

Why would a 14 year-old date a guy who is 32?
Had she no parents?

She was probably scared to death that people would find out she’s a serial liar. Where do I go to get my reputation back?

Bezos could give her 100 shs of AMZN stock and cure her bankruptcy in a day. She’s likely been struggling with it for years. Just sayin’.

Not surprisingly, Mitt Romney has said that he “believes Leigh Corfman”, and that Moore should take his name off the ballot. I’m not sure why Mitt thinks that Alabama conservatives give a rat’s tush what he thinks.

All networks are pushing it. If Moore hasn’t OFFICIALLY sued by EOD today it is too slow!!!

I’ve turned the TV off again..

same here. While our President is on an amazing trip in Asia, being shown huge respect, beautiful ceremonies and terrific speeches, our media can't find time to cover it. I will stick to watching it via youtube links on FreeRepublic.

“...and I think she felt like it was the right time to do it,”

Why, of course she did.

Scared of a prosecutor but not a senatorial candidate? Her timing is political at the very least.

My mother was 22 years younger than my Dad. He was a WWI
vet, wounded at the battle of the Argonne Forest in 1918.

He was born in 1893, she in 1915.

She dated guys her own age, but found them immature compared to my Dad.

Her Father objected, but her love for Dad overcame.

They were both devout Catholics. I was born in 1944. She was 29. He was 51. He died in 1968, she in 1980.

I miss them both.
