Leigh Corfman, who alleged earlier this month that Roy Moore sexually abused her nearly 40 years ago when she was a 14-year-old girl, said Monday that she “didn’t deserve to have a 32-year-old man prey upon” her.
Let’s analyze her account as NBC presents it:
In an exclusive interview with NBC’s TODAY— her first on television since she made her allegations against the embattled GOP Senate candidate in Alabama — Corfman, now 53, said she was simply a “14-year-old child playing in an adult’s world,” when Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her
Q: Why is she telling this story now? If it is true, why didn’t she or her mother confront Roy Moore earlier closer to the alleged event?
“I was expecting candlelight and roses, what I got was very different,” she said. “I felt guilty. I felt like I was the one to blame. It was decades before I was able to let that go.”
Q:Why would a 14 year old girl be expecting candlelight and roses? No problem with self-esteem here!
Q: The truth is, that if it happened, she never let it go. She’s been carrying this this dead rabbit around her neck ready to take revenge. If she had let it go, she wouldn’t be telling this story now.
“I was a 14-year-old child trying to play in an adult’s world and he was 32 years old,” she said.
Q: 14 years old? A child? She was in junior high. What is a 14 year old child doing dating, much less going out with a 30 year-old man? Were her parents nuts?
Q: Playing in an adult world? Did she convince her parents she was old enough to date . . . that she could handle it?
Q: This seems abolutely made up. I’ve been around for a long time, and I’ve never heard of a 32 year-old man dating a 14 year old. Never? Have you? Former Gadsden, AL police officer Lt. Faye Gary, quoted by The New York Times last week claiming it was a “known fact” that U.S. Senate hopeful Roy Moore “liked young girls,” revealed those claims were based on “rumors.”
Q: Why is she not embarrassed by this story? Does she carry any responsibility?
Corfman told The Washington Post earlier this month that in 1979, a 32-year-old Moore took off her “shirt and pants and removed his clothes,” touched her “over her bra and underpants” and “guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.” At least eight other women have come forward with accusations against Moore. Moore has repeatedly denied all of the allegations and said they were the product of nefarious efforts by his political opponents and the media.
Q: What? This is unbelievable? What 14 year old is going to stand down and let a man undress her?Why wasn’t a police report filed by her father or mother? There are no reports on file listed during the alleged time frame these events occurred says the Alabama police
“I am not guilty of sexual misconduct with anyone,” Moore said earlier this month, a message his campaign has put out repeatedly.
Corfman, however, maintained Monday that the Post “sought me out,” “that she’s “voted as a Republican for years and years” and that “this isn’t political for me.”
Q: How did the WAPO find out about?
Q: Not political, then what is it, personal? If Corfman felt so strongly about this why didn’t she or her mother confront Moore 10-20-30 years ago?
And she dismissed Moore’s denials of sexual misconduct with anyone, saying, “I wonder how many ‘me’s’ he doesn’t know.” This statement is designed to smear Moore and cast doubt on his character.
When asked why she waited until now to come forward with the allegations, she explained that she had told people after the incident occurred — “my family knew, family fr iends knew,” she said — but that she wanted to protect her young children from the maelstrom she knew would follow.
Q: What kind of family does she have? Why didn’t her grown up mother knaw on her for going out with a 32 year-old man (if it really did happen), and why didn’t her “family” confront Roy Moore and inform the D.A.
Q: Why did her family and friends know, but the school principle, the sheriff, and the D.A. did not know about it?
“My children were small, I was a single parent,” she said, expressing a desire to shield them from the fallout.
Q: Why is she a single parent?
Q: Why couldn’t she have addressed this? Why is she excusing responsibility instead of accepting responsibility? If she was in any way responsible, her children would not have been impacted by responsible confrontation.
“I didn’t go looking for this, it fell in my lap,” she said of deciding to make her story public.
Q: This sounds fishy. How did WAPO find out? Were they just knocking on doors one day? She must have informed them in some way . . . or they would never had asked her for interview.
In fact, the Post also interviewed three other women who claim Moore “pursued” them when they were 16 to 18 and when he was in his early 30s, and following Corfman’s allegations, several other women have come forward with similar allegations.
Fake News strikes again. What a bunch of crap! WAPO lied to her by including consentual dates where nothing illegal our unethical ever happened. WAPO only added these stories to make it look like Moore had a pattern of abuse.
Here,Corfman exposes her cowardliness. She didn’t have the courage to share the story unless there was a company of sympathetic supporters. She not only lived in fear, but continues her cowardly accusations.
Corfman denied receiving any compensation for telling her story, saying that, “if anything, this has cost me.”
“Cost me”? Me, me, me me me! What does Corfman think this cost Roy Moore . . . Alabama . . . the nation? Does she care? And, if so, how is telling this story in any way responsible . . . true . . . or believable. Where is the evidence any of this is true?
I’d like to see some police reports, a D.A. report, or a parental letter that this is true and was handled responsibly before eye-witness evidense deteriorated.
Leigh Corfman is no angel as she is either making this stuff up, or she has been carrying this hatred and bitterness around for decades, or she irresponsible in reporting this now.
