Moore accuser's attorney: "I'm sure she was scared to death" to report sexual encounter

An attorney for Leigh Corfman, whose story of a sexual encounter with Roy Moore when he was 32 and she was 14, broke today, said Corfman stands by her story.

Hoover attorney Eddie Sexton told AL.com that Corfman has wanted to publicly talk about the time in 1979 when Moore dated her, but never felt like it was the right time.

"Her kids are out of the house now, grown, and I think she felt like it was the right time to do it," said Sexton. "I'm sure she was scared to death."

Corfman had been talking with reporters from the Washington Post for several weeks, he said.

Sexton said Corfman's decision wasn't affected by the Harvey Weinstein scandal, in which numerous women have publicly accused the movie producer of sexual harassment and assault.

"She really thought about it before she (decided to speak publicly)," Sexton said, in part because Gadsden is a close-knit community.

It should not be hard to establish her real age.

I agree. The internet has all weekend to do so. Then, on Monday the MSM can ignore it.

Nice story about your parents. My first husband’s grandmother married a 40 year old man when she was 14. They had 14 children and lived a long happy life together. I will always remember his grandmother telling me how she would put a quilt on the floor and drop a baby. She could still squat and shuck corn or pull weeds. Very funny and wise woman.

In 1979, my grandparent’s Pennsylvania village got rid of party lines. Mobile phones were around, but they weren’t exactly portable or cheap...

Well Hannity and his 3 talking heads just convicted Judge Moore and agreed that he has to step down. They concluded that Moore lied through the entire interview with Hannity. The GOPe will win again.

“Statue of Limitations”

For what? At that time girls between 13 an 16 could marry with their mothers approval. Girls 16 and older could marry anyone.

So a profesional man asks if he can date a 14 year old, both mom and daughter agree, they fool around on a date, don’t have sex and stop seeing each other.

Accepted custom over there at that time. And not inmoral, at that time.

So what is the problem?
