Roy Moore accuser says she was not paid to tell her story
WASHINGTON — A woman accusing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of initiating sexual contact when she was 14 said Monday she was “absolutely not” paid to tell her story publicly.
The declaration by Leigh Corfman comes after Moore’s supporters claimed without evidence that reporters were offering thousands of dollars to women for accusations. The state election is being closely watched, as several GOP senators have called Moore to drop out, and President Donald Trump remains mostly quiet on the issue.
“My bank account has not flourished,” Corfman told NBC’s “Today” show. “If anything it’s gone down because I’m not working.”
Corfman said Moore’s stature in Alabama — he was a noted attorney who went on to become a powerful judge — prevented her from coming forward years ago.
