New Allegations Surface Against Moore As His Campaign Tries To Discredit An Accuser

Three new accusers have come forward against Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, adding to mounting allegations of sexual misconduct against teen girls when Moore was in his 30s.

The Washington Post, which broke the initial allegations against Moore last week, reported late Wednesday that Moore approached Gena Richardson when she was a high-schooler working at Sears and asked for her phone number. She declined to give it to him, and he later called her at school to ask her out. She ultimately relented, "feeling both nervous and flattered," the Post reports. Their movie date ended "with Moore driving her to her car in a dark parking lot behind Sears and giving her what she called an unwanted, 'forceful' kiss that left her scared."

Richardson's account was corroborated by Kayla McLaughlin, a classmate and that teenage girls working at the mall told each other to "just make yourself scarce when Roy's in here, he's just here to bother you, don't pay attention to him and he'll go away."
