She was sitting on a wooden bench with her mother, they both recall, when the man introduced himself as Roy Moore\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Alone with Corfman, Moore chatted with her and asked for her phone number, she says. Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Two of Corfman\u2019s childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore. Wells says her daughter told her about the encounter more than a decade later, as Moore was becoming more prominent as a local judge.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Evidently Moore takes after his Fuhrer. <strong>RESIST<\/strong>!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Cartoon<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/1109Cartoon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"1109Cartoon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/1109Cartoon_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"1109Cartoon\" width=\"654\" height=\"454\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still feeling pretty wretched with coughing and congestion, and I&#8217;m trying to get back to bed ASAP!!
