Roy Moore Goes After Election Accusers, Alleges ‘Political Conspiracy’
By The Blaze. After his failed bid for a US Senate seat in Alabama last year, Roy Moore has filed a lawsuit alleging that the women who accused him during the campaign of sexual misconduct from years prior were part of a political conspiracy against him.
Just an hour before a joint news conference with his wife, Kayla, Moore and his spouse filed the suit in Etowah County against defendants Leigh Corfman, Tina Johnson, Beverly Young Nelson and Debbie Wesson Gibson. A friend of Corfman’s, Richard Hagedorn, was also named.
Moore’s attorney, Melissa Isaak said, “We intend to show the people of Alabama that a political conspiracy came about to ruin his campaign for Senate. And to defame him, defame his character, so that the people of Alabama would not vote for him during the special Senate election.”
The plaintiffs are asking for both compensatory and punitive damages “in an amount that will adequately reflect the enormity of the defendants’ wrongful, outrageous acts” and an amount high enough to deter future accusations. (Read more from “Roy Moore Goes After Election Accusers” HERE)

Roy Moore Files Lawsuit Against 3 Women, Alleging ‘Political Conspiracy’
By CNN. Failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore says the women who accused him of sexual assault were part of a political conspiracy, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
The suit was jointly filed with his wife, Kayla, about an hour before the two held a news conference. It was Moore’s first public appearance since election night in December, when Moore, a Republican, was upset by Democrat Doug Jones. The defendants include three women who made accusations against Moore as well as two other people.
“This was filed because the people of Alabama deserve to know the truth,” said Melissa Isaak, an attorney representing Moore. “The accusations made against Judge Moore during the US Senate campaign arose from a political conspiracy to destroy his personal reputation and defeat him in the special Senate election for United States Senate.”
The suit is asking for compensatory damages from all defendants listed along with interest from the date of the injuries and the court costs. The suit is also asking for punitive damages “in an amount that will adequately reflect the enormity of the defendants’ wrongful, outrageous acts” and an amount that will prevent similar acts.
