Another Woman Accuses Roy Moore of Sexual Misconduct

Another woman has come forward to accuse U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct, an Alabama news outlet is reporting.

The woman, Tina Johnson, told AL.com that in 1991 she was in Moore’s law office with her mother and that he openly flirted with her.

AL.com reported:

Johnson was 28 years old, in a difficult marriage headed toward divorce, and unemployed. She was at the office to sign over custody of her 12-year-old son to her mother, with whom he’d been living. Her mother had hired Moore to handle the custody petition.

Once the papers were signed, she and her mother got up to leave. After her mother walked through the door first, she said, Moore came up behind her.

It was at that point, she recalled, he grabbed her buttocks.

“He didn’t pinch it; he grabbed it,” said Johnson, who did not tell her mother and only told her sister “years later,” according to AL.com.

To date, Moore has denied allegations of sexual misconduct and has vowed to stay in the race against Democrat Doug Jones to fill Alabama’s Senate seat vacated by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In all, five women have accused Moore of making sexual advances to them when they were teens.

Johnson was an adult but claims Moore’s behavior constituted sexual harassment.

Four of the women were featured in a Washington Post article —which includes the Post’s admission that they tracked the women down — with a fifth accuser telling her story in a news conference on Monday with controversial feminist attorney Gloria Allred.

Moore’s campaign released a statement before the Allred press conference, saying the last-minute accusations just days ahead of the special election “is a sensationalist leading a witch hunt,” according to The Associated Press.
