Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Roy Moore Sues 4 Women Who Accused Him of Sexual Assault, Harassment

HeadlineMay 01, 2018

Former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore’s lawyers have filed defamation lawsuits against four of the women who have accused Moore of sexually harassing or assaulting them when they were teenagers or young women. Among the women Moore has sued is Leigh Corfman, who says Moore forced himself on her when she was 14 years old and he was 32. Another woman he sued, Tina Johnson, had her home burned to the ground earlier this year, only months after she came forward to publicly accuse Moore of groping her without her consent back in 1991. Moore lost last December’s highly controversial special Senate election after at least nine women, including Corfman and Johnson, came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment or assault.
