Roy Moore denied the allegations during his ill-fated campaign in 2017. He also made the comment of how he never dated a young lady unless he had permission from the girl’s mother. This is important because while he denied the specific allegations made against him from the women who came forward, he never quite said that he didn’t make it a point to date teenage girls as a grown man.
Moore’s denial caused Corfman to file a defamation lawsuit against Moore in January 2018. In her complaint, she asked the for Roy Moore to publicly apologize. Corfman issued a statement related to the filing of the defamation lawsuit: “Mr. Moore sexually abused me when I was only 14 years old. Then he and his campaign called me a liar and immoral when I publicly disclosed his misconduct. By this lawsuit, I seek to do what I could not do as a 14-year-old – hold Mr. Moore and those who enable him accountable.”
Corfman and her mother allege that Moore approached Corfman when was 14 and waited outside a custody hearing inside of the Etowah County courthouse.
