In a lawsuit that echoes a civil case against President Trump, an Alabama woman on Thursday sued failed U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore and his campaign for defamation, citing harsh personal attacks she faced after coming forward with allegations he touched her sexually when she was 14 years old.
Leigh Corfman is not seeking financial compensation beyond legal costs. 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.”
A representative of Moore’s campaign, Brett Doster, said he had no immediate comment on the lawsuit, filed in state court in Montgomery County, Ala.
Corfman told The Washington Post in November that when Moore was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney in 1979, he took her to his house, undressed her, touched her over her underpants and bra and guided her hand to touch his genitals over his underwear.
Moore has called Corfman’s allegations of abuse “politically motivated,” “completely false” and “malicious.” On Nov. 10, the day after the story published, he told Sean Hannity of Fox News he had never met Corfman but he did not rule out that he might have dated older teenagers when he was in his 30s.

^^^So True^^^
It's sad to read fellow Freepers here, fail to see the massive level of corruption a Constitutional supporting candidate had to go through in this Alabama election.

Didn’t she admit to falsifying the supposed signature in her yearbook?
I hope Moore buries her and her lawyer under the court house.
Have you called Bitch McConnell, Cory Gardner and the RNC to congratulate them yet?
I doubt she has anything to fear.
She is going to have to answer what the media never reported:
How did it happen that she was represented for free
by the law firm of Ed Gentle, the treasurer of the Alabama Democratic Party?
“But I don’t know what the law specifically says in Alabama.”
It may not matter.
The U.S. Supreme Court in their ‘64 Sullivan ruling specifically struck down Alabama law in riding to the rescue of the New York Times when it was imperiled by southern justice.
Of course, the federal court system could now vote to pass a new law to punish Moore since he is, to many, unpopular.
Fair point, but the reality is that one side worked hard to generate enthusiasm among its base and get them to vote, while the other side just ran a Hillary Clinton campaign.
You are also deliberately ignoring the cause of why people didn't vote for Moore.
I'm not ignoring it. I don't discuss it because I don't know anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 and refused to vote for Moore in 2017 -- so I have no way of knowing exactly why they didn't vote for Moore. If you ask all 600,000+ such people why they didn't vote for Moore, you might find that there are a half-dozen reasons, not just one or two.
What I do know is that Donald Trump faced similar -- even identical -- accusations when he was running in 2016 ... and he still won the damn election. He also won Alabama by a lopsided margin. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but Trump clearly ran like a guy who actually wanted to win his election. Roy Moore did not.
Is this the woman who lied about having a phone in her room and where they were meeting?
Sorry for the confusion. :-)
She sure did.Now he can go into her past.Guess they still feel a threat from him.
He lost to the entire GOP establishment, and very likely massive election fraud. The GOP-e isn't going to investigate, conveniently.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
Exactly, and this is one of the reasons I constantly hammer our complacency about allowing Liberal Democrats to have monopolistic control over all information systems, like the broadcasting networks.
Our number one focus should be on eradicating their propaganda machine and breaking their control of information.
No. I read that about three months ago, and at the time I didn't consider it important, because all sorts of stories were out about how far ahead Moore was after the primary.
I'm not sure how you can go back and look at old poll numbers now.
Not any more. It was from months ago, and nobody thought at the time that it mattered. Moore was going to win in a slam dunk, so who cared what the day to day polling showed? It varied. 28 points is the highest number I recall seeing in the various polls that were coming out at the time.
Only if you have blinders on. Given the numbers of occasions the "swamp" members of the Republican party backstabbed other candidates like Chris McDaniel (bought advertisements portraying him as a racist who wanted to prevent black people from voting.) you begin to realize there is a big pattern to this claim of "bad candidate."
The "bad candidates" are always the ones who do not support the Washington Swamp agenda. The Washington swamp always does everything they can to wreck the campaigns of these "bad candidates", and then after they pull the knife out, they continuously refer to them as "bad candidates."
This is the other thing about which I worry. Once you have been officially designated as a "pariah" many doors close to you, and most especially doors for justice.
