Add this to the list of ways Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore is a scumbag: when he was in his 30s, he apparently made a habit of hitting on and dating teenage girls. Four women gave accounts to the Washington Post, and wouldn’t you know, the youngest girl was the one Moore was most sexually aggressive with. Leigh Corfman was 14 years old when Moore asked her out, and:
… picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.
“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.
Two of Corfman’s childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore. Wells says her daughter told her about the encounter more than a decade later, as Moore was becoming more prominent as a local judge.
Three other women say Moore asked them out when they were between the ages of 16 and 18. At the time, they enjoyed the attention, but in retrospect:
“Now that I’ve gotten older,” [one of the women] says, “the idea that a grown man would want to take out a teenager, that’s disgusting to me.”
Is this who you want to see in the Senate? Give whatever you can to help Doug Jones send this scumbag packing.
