An attorney for U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, his wife Kayla Moore and their Foundation for Moral Law is demanding retractions from AL.com over the news sites coverage of recent sexual misconduct allegations against Moore.
In a letter addressed to AL.coms attorney, Moores attorney demanded a retraction over what he said was false, malicious and careless reporting. The attorney, Trenton R. Garmon, said he is preparing to file a lawsuit against AL.com and its reporters. Garmon threatened a lawsuit against the Washington Post last week for their reporting on Moores financial dealings with the Foundation.
Garmon has yet to file that lawsuit.
AL.com is one of dozens of news outlets that have covered allegations against Moore over the last week. Two women have come forward, on the record, alleging Moore sexually assaulted them. At least three other women have said Moore pursued them when they were in their teens, between the ages of 16-18.
Garmon said AL.com was engaging in careless and false reporting by publishing articles saying a fifth woman has accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct or assault, which he said was untrue.

(116,803 posts)fifth woman has accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct or assault, is untrue. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth woman instead.
