Leigh Corfman says she was 14 years old when an older man approached her outside a courtroom in Etowah County, Ala. She was sitting on a wooden bench with her mother, they both recall, when the man introduced himself as Roy Moore.
It was early 1979 and Moore now the Republican nominee in Alabama for a U.S. Senate seat was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. He struck up a conversation, Corfman and her mother say, and offered to watch the girl while her mother went inside for a child custody hearing.
He said, Oh, you dont want her to go in there and hear all that. Ill stay out here with her, says Corfmans mother, Nancy Wells, 71. I thought, how nice for him to want to take care of my little girl.

We know that they've always had a place in the Catholic church, why not the Republican party, too?
