Failed Alabama Senate candidate and accused child molester Roy Moore filed a lawsuit Monday claiming he was the victim of a political conspiracy. The 71-year-old ex-judge — who lost a special Senate election to Democrat Doug Jones in December — claims several of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct conspired against him in a politically-motivated slander campaign. The lawsuit lists four of Moore's nine accusers: Leigh Corfman, Debbie Wesson Gibson, Beverly Young Nelson and Tina Johnson, Isaak said during a press conference in Gadsen, Ala. The suit charges the women intentionally defamed Moore by accusing him of sexually assaulting or harassing them. Several of Moore's accusers allege they were in their teens when Moore molested them.
Moore reiterated his vehement denials of the women's accusation during Monday's press conference. "I never knew them," the Republican said. "There is no truth to (the accusations)." Moore's election loss posed an embarrassing defeat in what should have been an easy Republican win, according to political pundits. An avalanche of news reports on the shocking allegations against Moore sent his poll numbers plunging. Many of the accusers provided detailed and disturbing evidence to back up their allegations, including handwritten notes from Moore.
