An Alabama judge has thrown out a defamation claim against Roy Moore’s unsuccessful Senate campaign that was filed by a woman who claims she was sexually abused by Moore when she was a teenager.
Montgomery Circuit Judge John E. Rochester ruled that Leigh Corfman can only proceed with her lawsuit against Moore, not his former Senate campaign. Corfman filed the lawsuit in 2018, after alleging in 2017 that she was sexually abused by Moore nearly four decades earlier.
