Betsy Rutenberg Davis said she could corroborate the claim made by Leigh Corfman who said Alabama Republican candidate for the Senate Roy Moore sexually abused her when she was 14 years old, CNN reported.
Davis now lives in California, but grew up in Gadsden, Moore's hometown. She said she had known Corfman "since we were babies."
"She told me she snuck out of the house and went on a date with Roy Moore, and he had sexually assaulted her," Davis said.
"He was a big lawyer. He was a powerful guy. He was supposed to put criminals in jail," she added. "I knew he was a lot older. I didn't know he was 32."
Davis said she told Corfman not to see Moore again and that neither girl told any adults about the matter. Davis said she had not been offered money to talk about the incident, but did it because she needed to "stand up for the truth and to stand up for my friend."
