Breitbart Breathlessly Discovers That Reporters Urged Moore Accuser To Come Forward

EXCLUSIVE – Mother of Roy Moore Accuser: Washington Post Reporters Convinced My Daughter to Go Public


Birmingham, ALABAMA — The mother of Leigh Corfman, who says that Alabama Senatorial Candidate Roy Moore tried to engage in a sexual encounter with her when she was 14, told Breitbart News that the Washington Post worked to convince her daughter to give an interview about the allegations against Moore.


Speaking by phone to Breitbart News on Saturday, Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71, further stated that her daughter would not have come forward if it weren’t for The Post reporter’s alleged actions.

Corfman went public with her accusations against Moore in a Washington Post interview published last week in which she alleged that Moore attempted to initiate sexual contact with her in 1979 when she was 14. Three other women between the ages of 16 and 18 claim that when Moore was in his 30s, he attempted to court them or that he dated them.  The current age of consent in Alabama is 16.

Moore has strongly denied the accusations. He has questioned the timing of The Post ’s story, which was dropped mere weeks before the December 12 election.

Corfman’s mother, Wells, told Breitbart News that reporters for the Washington Post convinced her daughter to give them an interview.

“She did not go to them,” said Wells. “They called her.”

“They tried to convince her to do it?” this reporter asked.

“Yes,” replied Wells, matter-of-factly.

Wells was asked about Corfman’s motivations for going public. “It wasn’t done for politics, you know,” Wells replied.  “It was done for personal reasons. And it wouldn’t have been done if the reporters hadn’t contacted my daughter.”

In the Academy Award winning movie Spotlight, we learn that reporters from the Boston Globe had to convince victims of the Catholic priest child sex abuse to come forward.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with a reporter CONVINCING a victim to make their story public. It happens all the time in controversial cases.

Lol, No nothing wrong with it especially after you've endorsed the other candidate. I never thought I'd see you seed anything from Breitbart...Does that mean it's ok to use their articles now? BTW the Post sort of admitted to what they did. Even if neither publication reported it, I would have assumed that is exactly how it went down.

Thanks for the article

The Post has lost all credibility. In this case releasing the story after Moore got nominated and a month before the election is highly unethical - especially after the Post encouraged the women to come forward.

This is kind of related. I was listening to Aly Raisman Sunday night on "60 Minutes".  She made a very interesting statement. She said that it was only after she heard other women charge the team doctor with various sexual misconduct, that she thought back and realized, ya that happened to her too. I'm still not sure what she meant. Wasn't she sure?

Anyone know what she meant?

I'll give my thoughts.  Back in the day men who made girls uncomfortable weren't called out.  The girls were told 'oh, he's just teasing' or something along those lines.  Get older and you start getting leers and unwanted attention that gets more sexual. And it goes on for quite a while.  These are all different people, not just one.  In the evangelical world, young girls are also groomed to obey and get blamed for everything.  Very interesting article by a woman who lived in that world growing up in the LA Times the other day about how Moore's actions are totally in line with those beliefs.  So getting back to the accuser, you have to go back to a couple of months ago when Weinstein broke, and the dam immediately burst in all parts of life as women decided enough was enough.  And it brings back memories to us older women.  It is pretty cut and dried, and it most certainly is bigger than Roy Moore, so trying to make this about politics is disingenuous.  Not to say there aren't people waiting to take advantage, but that too happens in all walks of life, with all the guys currently in deep shit.  Almost all women know.  Even if some don't want to.

As for what Moore told Hannity - he neither confirmed nor denied what the women are charging him with.

If you listen to the Hannity 'interview' it took him two segments to 'lead' Moore into making even a partial denial. He worded his answers VERY carefully and when he made his denial in a speech, he used the term 'sexual misconduct'. Anyone who has read the pertinent statutes from Alabama will recognize why he used that term. 

"Kind of" makes you want to believe the women. That still leaves my question about Aly Raisman. That question is valid for all.

I don't WANT to 'believe the women', their testimony MADE me believe them. Today's news conference and two other stories that I read online written by his co-workers MADE me believe the women. 

What makes you WANT to believe Roy Moore?

That still leaves my question about Aly Raisman. That question is valid for all.

Your question about Aly Raisman is merely a deflection, off topic and therefore irrelevant.

Some women lack backbone and need the safety of others to do anything. My wife isn’t one of them. When she was a teenager, a man broke into her house while her parents were out. She was on the phone with her boyfriend at the time so she put the phone down when she heard a noise and went to investigate.

The man tried to rape her, her boyfriend could hear her screaming over the phone, so he rushed over to her house (maybe 10-15 minutes away). She’s much stronger than she looks. She put up such a struggle that the man was having trouble overpowering her and she was still fighting him when her boyfriend arrived. The guy ran off. Yes, it bothers her to this day and she’s afraid to be in the house alone unless she has all the lights on, an ADT, and my video camera system. She’s just careful, not blubbering about it for 40 years.

That's not why this is happening.  It's not for any glory, its to stop something that's been going on forever.  No need to diminish the claims of women (including republican voter for Trump).  Many people knew about Moore, by the way, this isn't something coming out of thin air.  And the reason all this is happening is because the dam has burst. After Weinstein the chips have fallen.  Why would you defend this guy, why would you not believe the women?  Read their story, especially the one that just came forward.  And read about some of Moore's creepy behavior towards teen girls.

You really don't get it do you?  This isn't even about a break in attempted rape.  Good for your daughter, she was lucky.  Others try the same and aren't so lucky.  Meantime young girls are continually exposed to creeps who embarrass and harass them.  Its not always touching either, it comes in all forms, verbal, hissing, weird noises.  I'm nothing special in the looks department and dealt with it a lot.  Toughed it out - happened here, happened in Europe, its a worldwide thing.  But ignorance isn't an excuse.  You think you know, but your comments show you don't.  Its laughable to think YOU think if women just told on the perp it would be taken care of fairly.

Sexual harassment — whether reported or unreported — can damage women’s careers by diminishing their confidence and enthusiasm. But unlike Ms Wang, women typically keep quiet, due to fears about not being believed, retaliation and harm to their careers. Others are legally bound to silence by non-disclosure agreements.

Gretchen Carlson, a former anchor for Fox News, who in 2016 accused the TV network’s then chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, notes: “Women are still labelled troublemakers and worse. They aren’t believed.” Ms Carlson, whose book Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back was published this month, adds that women “have everything to lose in taking the risk to come forward”.

You don’t get it. On the one hand, women claim to be a match for men (in every job and activity up to and including an MMA fight) and on the other, they are so weak that they can’t get out the passenger door of a car to avoid groping and then cry about the incident for 40 years. Either you’re a match for a man or you aren’t. Pick one. If women are a match for a man, then match him and get out the car or admit that women aren’t the match they claim to be 

Meantime young girls are continually exposed to creeps who embarrass and harass them. Its not always touching either, it comes in all forms, verbal, hissing, weird noises. I'm nothing special in the looks department and dealt with it a lot. Toughed it out - happened here, happened in Europe, its a worldwide thing.

Big damn deal. Walk with a man and I doubt you’d get the same reaction or walk by yourself and “tough out” being “admired” by rifraff. If they were screaming “get that ugly bitch off the street”, then you’d have something to really complain about. Lol. My wife has dealt with catcalls all her life and thinks nothing of it whether she’s here or in Europe or elsewhere. Grow a thicker skin.

But ignorance isn't an excuse. You think you know, but your comments show you don't. Its laughable to think YOU think if women just told on the perp it would be taken care of fairly.

If nothing would be done about it, then what’s the point of waiting 40 years to say it?

Sexual harassment — whether reported or unreported — can damage women’s careers by diminishing their confidence and enthusiasm. 

False charges brought 40 years after the fact can be equally damaging because it deprives a person of a meaningful defense. If you say too bad because he deserves it, then I say too bad for her because she she should have said something sooner.

It could have come out at any time in 40 years but it’s coming out now for the express purpose of damaging Moore’s campaign. The Post started it to benefit it’s candidate, Jones, and then waited to see if there'd be a pile on. It’s ridiculously late to bring these kinds of allegations but each one should be examined (if you want to take them seriously) not just lump them all together to say they must all be true because there’s more than one of them.

Mags asked about the claim that the girl said she arranged her rendezvous with Moore from her bedroom but her mother said she had no phone in there. 

The most recent accuser says Moore assaulted her in his car while she was waiting for her boyfriend. What does the boyfriend say?  

Another said Moore tried to date her as a teenager. So what? if she’s above the age of consent, then either go out with him or decline.

We have only Corfman's claim that she voted for Trump. When I see legitimate verification of her voting record, I'll believe her on this point.

On the other hand, we know that Debbie Wesson Gibson has had deep ties to the DNC and Joe Biden as well as campaigning for/donating to Obama and Hillary Clinton. She is also a Doug Jones supporter. Here's an article that shows her political bent on her now-defunct Facebook page:

Good point. If I walked up on him assaulting my girlfriend in his car, he’s going to hell and I’m going to prison! At the very least, he and his car are going to require dent repair. Moore would know that so I’m suspicious of the story.

Screenshot20171114 Our view Roy Moore grossly unfit for office.png

Roy Moore simply cannot be a U.S. Senator . Even if his party and many of its adherents still think it possible, it is unthinkable -- for his state, and his country.

Last week, four women described Moore's unseemly taste for dating high school girls when he was a single man in his 30s. Another described what can only be seen as a sexual assault on her when she was 14. In a radio interview last week, Moore himself suggested that he may have dated teenage women during his 30s, though he vehemently denied the claims made by these women.

Today, even as those women face disgusting attacks on their motives and credibility , a fifth brave Alabama woman stepped forward and described how when she was 16, Moore violently sexually assaulted her in his car. She said she felt it to be an attempted rape, and that it ended with her bruised from either falling from or being pushed from the car, with Moore warning her he was a powerful man and that no one would believe her if she told anyone.

The seriousness of these incidents cannot be overstated. They should not be parsed with talk of statutes of limitations or whether proof exists. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a consideration for the courtroom, not the ballot box. When choosing our representative before the rest of the world, character matters.

Nor should these women's statements be diminished because the incidents are decades old . If readers objectively look at the reality of life for sex assault victims - at the public doubt and vitriol they face - they'll understand why girls and women do not come forward readily, or early.

And sadly, the reactions of many over the past several days support modern understanding of women's reluctance to voice these things. They stayed quiet while Moore ascended in local and state politics, but they have spoken out as he seems on the verge of attaining national office . For that, Alabama and America owe them respect and appreciation.

We believe these women.

As a news organization, we have independently investigated as many of these claims as possible and have found no reason to doubt the accounts outlined in the Washington Post. If anything, the stories we've heard in Etowah County have only further corroborated them.

In our view, Moore has already revealed himself as grossly unfit to be a U.S. Senator before these revelations.

He has been twice-removed from statewide office for his defiance of the law. His views on women's rights, same-sex marriage and religious freedom no longer reflect the majority of Alabamians. And they are incompatible with the governance of this country. He has said that the murderous 9/11 attacks on America and the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut may have been God's will because America had sinned.

Investigations into Moore's nonprofit the Foundation of Moral Law, have revealed a man who champions himself above all else. Above Alabamians. And, yes, above God. Moore has used his platform to personally enrich himself and his family and to pursue his own, radical agenda.

As each day passes, more Republicans, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen. Lindsay Graham, Louisiana's Senator Bill Cassidy, and many others, have stated Roy Moore simply cannot be a U.S. Senator.

It's time that he and his party read the writing on the wall: His candidacy is over. His true character has been revealed. It's time for the GOP to remove its official support.

And since he and his party can't assure it, the voters of Alabama must.

Yeah well, it can also be a damn slippery slope can't it?   I supported a girlfriend once with counseling on some similar sort of stuff.   It started during ACOA counseling that i went to with her.   At the base of it the ACOA counseling was great for both of us and helped uncover some pretty bad things that did happen to her at an early age but it ultimately slipped down that slope.  

She got to point that everything bad that she did or happened in her life was someone else's fault.   It started out great but devolved into something very healthy in the end.   It was more or less her excuse to do whatever she wanted.   It gave her a ready scapegoat for all bad behavior.   I had to get out of that relationship as she she was trying to drag me into the same bottomless pit.

If the allegations on Moore are true then he deserves everything many of you are trying to hang him with but there is a reason we have an "innocent until proven guilty" standard in our legal system.  

Not all allegations are true.   People can and do lie all the time.    Many times with nefarious intent.

What makes you WANT to believe Roy Moore?

I don't.  Remove him from the election and provided that seat goes to a Republican, i'm more than satisfied.

Your question about Aly Raisman is merely a deflection, off topic and therefore irrelevant. 

Anything that relates to an understanding of women waiting almost 40 years to make such an allegation IS relevant

False charges should carry the same punishment that the alleged crime would and yes as time goes by the accused has little or no chance of proving innocence and that would be what it is. Multiple victims, many community people with the same recollections about the predatory nature of one guy, too much in common to be a fabrication to hamper his bid. What would have been the scenario if your wife's attacker was the chief of police, Governor, Supreme Court Justice? Would the story disappear? Moore was a powerful and connected official that could have caused great harm to the girls (as far as we know it is only girls to date) and their families. Look at what he is attempting even with serious evidence piling up, he is threatening to sue everyone.

She never filed charges and therefore is subject to penalty. All Moore could do is sue her for defamation if she has a lot to ois in that makes a suit worthwhile.

Multiple victims, many community people with the same recollections about the predatory nature of one guy, too much in common to be a fabrication to hamper his bid.

There is no proof whatsoever of his “predatory” behavior.

Because you were a lady and took it in stride. However, if you had scowled at them with that “somebody needs to teach you a lesson” look, they might have descended into the kind of vulgarity that would make you run. Instead of younger women trying to teach men a lesson, maybe they should be getting a lesson from a real lady like you.

If it’s normal for one man to “creep” on another, then hell yes it’s completely normal for a man to date a younger woman as long as she’s at or above the age of consent. She can date whomever she likes and any man is free to date her.

As a news organization, we have independently investigated as many of these claims as possible and have found no reason to doubt the accounts outlined in the Washington Post. If anything, the stories we've heard in Etowah County have only further corroborated them.

Al.com has had some interesting coverage of the investigation they undertook in Etowah County.    Among other things they found that Moore had essentially been banned from the Gadsden Mall because he was stalking young girls.

Greg Legat worked at the Record Bar, a music store near Sears in the mall, from 1981-1985. The store was just down from the back entrance of the mall, near the three-screen Mall Theatre. It was a popular place for parents dropping off their teens in the evenings and on weekends.

Legat, now 59, said an off-duty Gadsden police officer named J.D. Thomas told him about various people he should look out for when he was working. This was around 1981, and Thomas worked security at the mall. 

One of the people was a pickpocket, he said, while another was someone prone to pick fights.

One was Roy Moore.

"I asked him, 'What did he do?'" Legat recalled. "He said, 'If you see him, let me know. I'll take care of it.'

Five other current and former Etowah County residents also spoke to AL.com with similar accounts.

"Him liking and dating young girls was never a secret in Gadsden when we were all in high school," said Sheryl Porter. "In our neighborhoods up by Noccalula Falls we heard it all the time. Even people at the courthouse know it was a well-known secret.

"It's just sad how these girls (who accused Moore) are getting hammered and called liars, especially Leigh (Corfman)."

Teresa Jones, who said she worked at the Etowah County District Attorney's Office with Moore, took   to Twitter on Friday  to say it was "common knowledge" that he pursued teenage girls.

"As a Deputy DA in Gadsden when Roy Moore was there, it was common knowledge about Roy's propensity for teenage girls," she tweeted. "I'm appalled that these women are being skewered for the truth."

She later told CNN that Moore often went to local high school events and other hangouts: "It was common knowledge that Roy dated high school girls, everyone we knew thought it was weird...We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall."

I'm sure many here won't like the following but this has been my experience with Millennials    I've been hiring and firing for a long time now and generally speaking i have found the Millennial generation to be much higher maintenance than previous ones.  

Fewer seek leadership positions but all seem to want to make leadership money.   Few understand that 40 hours pay means 40 hours of actual work.   Not 39.5 or less.   Many have trouble taking direction they don't like and will piss and moan and try to subvert the direction from the inside when if they really don't like it they can simply move on to another job like we always did.

Again, as noted this a generalization because i've hired some fantastic Millennial as well.   Several are working for us right now and doing a great job.

Thank you, Clayton Williams , for your special brand of insight.  It's good to know.  From now on, I'll arrive at my destination a few hours early so I can open a bit of thoughtful dialogue with the men I might pass during my walk from a parking lot into an office building, so I may learn what responsive behavior they have, or have not, been accustomed to receiving when they unleash an unwarranted and disgusting sexual diatribe against any female previously unfortunate enough to catch their collective eye.

I think you can substitute baby boomer for millennial and get the same results.

I disagree.  

I'm old enough to have witnessed both Kennedy assassinations and have dealt with both generations.   True, i've probably dealt with more generations after boomers but there are distinct differences.   I don't expect agreement here with those that have their minds made up but my opinion is born on experience and it is what it is.  

You can't change past experience.

Remove him from the election and provided that seat goes to a Republican, i'm more than satisfied.

So your posit is that the GOP and their electorate should not be held responsible for putting Moore in his elevated position? 

Anything that relates to an understanding of women waiting almost 40 years to make such an allegation IS relevant

Then please explain how Aly Raisman's experience, in THIS decade, while a cloistered elite athlete, can enlighten our understanding of a southern teenage girls experiences 40 years ago. Please elaborate...

Yeah right, they’re banning the local DA from the mall because he engaged in legal behavior. This is just stupid.

Apparently that's exactly what the mall management did to that assistant DA.    There's lots of good stuff at this link:

Gadsden’s current law-enforcement community could not confirm the existence of a mall ban on Moore. But two officers I spoke to this weekend, both of whom asked to remain unnamed, told me that they have long heard stories about Moore and the mall. “The general knowledge at the time when I moved here was that this guy is a lawyer cruising the mall for high-school dates,” one of the officers said. The legal age of consent in Alabama is sixteen, so it would not be illegal there for a man in his early thirties to date a girl who was, say, a senior in high school. But these officers, along with the other people I spoke to, said that Moore’s presence at the mall was regarded as a problem. “I was told by a girl who worked at the mall that he’d been run off from there, from a number of stores. Maybe not legally banned, but run off,” one officer told me. He also said, “I heard from one girl who had to tell the manager of a store at the mall to get Moore to leave her alone.”

The second officer went further. “A friend of mine told me he was banned from there,” he said. He added, “I actually voted for Moore. I liked him at one time. But I’m basically disgusted now, to be honest with you. Some of the things he’s said recently, I’ve changed my tune completely about this guy.” He went on, explaining why Moore no longer appeals to him. “When I heard what he said on ‘Hannity’ the other night,” he said, referring to an appearance Moore made on Sean Hannity’s radio show last Friday, “I almost stood straight up. The thing about how he’s never dated anybody without their mother’s permission, that appalled me. That made me want to throw up. Why would you need someone’s permission to date somebody? I’m probably gonna write in Luther Strange.”

How so? Why is it unethical to expose a Senate candidate as a pedophile if the story is true? Just days before the Presidential election Jim Comey released a statement making it public the Hillary Clinton email investigation had to be reopened though he kept secret the fact that the Trump campaign was under investigation at the time for their involvement with Russia in the release of illegally obtained private citizen emails.

No I don't and precisely for the reasons I stated - that there were no contemporaneous claims told to other people.    Moreover the person who made the most serious claim retracted it when she was under oath.    At the same time I think male behavior which was accepted in Arkansas 30+ years ago wouldn't be tolerated by women today, so I do think its possible and even likely that Bill engaged in sexual harassment.

It's clear that lots of women were interested in Bill and he obviously has had a number of consensual affairs and likes women a lot.    I have a very hard time imagining the same about Roy and based on some of his rulings he doesn't seem to like women very much.

You should understand what you read before you post. It says there was no official ban only a rumor of one. The cop, security guard, and journalist have no evidence of an actual ban so it’s still nothing more than a rumor. I’m not surprised that the security guard isn’t saying anything one way or another today because he’d get himself or the mall sued for slander. So, yes, keeping his mouth shut speaks volumes. There is no evidence that Moore was removed from the mall or ever told to stay off the premises. This is all total bullshit.

Comey told Congress that the investigation was closed. He was specifically asked whether he would inform congress if that changed and he said yes. It changed and he informed congress as he said he would do. If he hadn’t done that he, would have misled Congress. Hillary and the democrats would have no problem misleading congress but Comey was trying to be ethical. He made no promise about Trump nor was he asked for one.

Apparently the mall employees disagree with your interpretation:

Legat says that he saw Moore there a few times, even though his understanding then was that he had already been banned. “It started around 1979, I think,” Legat said. “I know the ban was still in place when I got there.” Legat recalled a Gadsden police officer named J. D. Thomas, now retired, who worked security at the mall. “J. D. was a fixture there, when I was working at the store,” Legat said. “He really looked after the kids there. He was a good guy. J. D. told me, ‘If you see Roy, let me know. He’s banned from the mall.’ ” Legat recalled Thomas telling him, “If you see Moore here, tell me. I’ll take care of him.’ ” Legat said that his boss, Eddie Hill, also told him to look for Moore.

.

Regardless of whether Moore was officially banned from the mall (and it does seem that he was), the other significant factor is that multiple employees at different stores were warned about Moore and his predatory interest in young teen girls.

He wasn’t officially banned because they had no grounds to ban him. How about this? Instead of exploring rumors, get an affidavit from the mall owners that says “Roy Moore was banned from the property effective (date) because we viewed him as a predator of teens simply because he exercised his right to freely associate with teenage girls over the age of consent. We further told every store and mall employee that he is banned as a predator.” Without that statement or one like it, the allegation that he was banned is a rumor and nothing more. And if they provide it, Moore can sue them for defamation.

On 10 November 2017, the disreputable web site   GatewayPundit.com   reported — without any evidence whatsoever beyond a single anonymous Twitter account — that investigative journalists from the  Washington Post   had paid a woman to go on the record and  accuse   Roy Moore, a Republican candidate running to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ vacant U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, of sexually abusing her when she was 14 years old.

Also note that the Post doesn't pay sources.   And if it were discovered that a journalist did that they'd be fired on the spot.

Enticing child to enter vehicle, house, etc., for immoral purposes. It shall be unlawful for any person with lascivious intent to entice, allure, persuade or invite, or attempt to entice, allure, persuade or invite, any child under 16 years of age to enter any vehicle, room, house, office or other place for the purpose of proposing to such child the performance of an act of sexual intercourse or an act which constitutes the offense of sodomy or for the purpose of proposing the fondling or feeling of the sexual or genital parts of such child or the breast of such child, or for the purpose of committing an aggravated assault on such child, or for the purpose of proposing that such child fondle or feel the sexual or genital parts of such person.

Any person violating the provisions of this section shall, for the first violation, be punished by a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 or by confinement for a term not to exceed five years, or by both fine and imprisonment; and any person who shall be convicted for the second violation of this section shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than 10 years, and such person shall not be eligible for probation.

Even if there’s no statute of limitations under Alabama law, a defendant still has a constitutional right to due process. An excessive delay in bringing charges may be considered unconstitutional if it severely deprives the defendant of the opportunity to mount a defense. I’d say waiting 40 damn years to bring charges qualifies as excessive delay.

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein   also threatened to sue The Times   after it published allegations that included three decades of sexual harassment of women and unwanted physical contact.

Weinstein, who also denied the allegations, hasn't sued the paper.

That dog won't hunt.  The latest woman who does say he assaulted her when she was 16 is republican and voted for Trump.  This goes beyond politics and its pretty normal for the adversary to make the most of an opponent's scandal.   Its tough shit, karma's a bitch, what goes around comes around.........

She has nothing to do with the Post article so my comment still stands and so do my questions about the incident.

The same paper that also disclosed the "access Hollywood" tapes last year - and that story was released 1 month to an election as well!

It’s basically a negative ad for the Hillary, and now Jones, campaign. And they wonder why the MSM has no credibility with some people.

It's again necessary to remind everyone that you on the right never have any doubts about the veracity of the any woman's story against a man in politics or other businesses ("Hollywood!!!") which are on your long "enemies list."

All those that believe that a standard of conduct for any representative should not exist, raise your hands, looking, looking, no hands do I see.

I want to know why Roy Moore really fled to Australia. Usually that only happens when the crime is pretty serious and crossing a state line doesn't solve the problem.
