Disgraced senate candidate Roy Moore said Monday that he is filing a lawsuit against three women who have accused the Alabama Republican of sexual misconduct.
Moore said at a press conference in Gadsden that the women — including Leigh Corfman and Tina Johnson — made false allegations against him during the campaign.
“If you read the complaint, you’re gonna see a political conspiracy,” Moore said.
The complaint was not immediately available on Monday.
Corfman claims that when she was 14 years old Moore, then a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, made unwanted sexual advances against her.
Johnson says that Moore groped her in 1991. The incident allegedly took place when she visited Moore’s office regarding a custody petition for her son.
The women were not immediately available for comment Monday.
