Another woman is coming forward. Tina Johnson claims Roy Moore grabbed her butt when she was at his law office back in 1991. Oh. And he was a married man at the time.
She was there with her mother. She said Moore started flirting with her the minute she walked into the building.
“He kept commenting on my looks, telling me how pretty I was, how nice I looked,” recalled Johnson. “He was saying that my eyes were beautiful.”
It made her uncomfortable. “I was thinking, can we hurry up and get out of here?”
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.
Johnson had two young daughters at the time with her then-husband, and her son said he wanted to live with his grandmother.
At one point during the meeting, she said, Moore came around the desk and sat on the front of it, just inches from her. He was so close, she said, she could smell his breath.
Ew. He either had rank breath or was really WAY too close. (Close talkers freak me out, FYI.)
He also apparently asked about her daughters– like what color their eyes were and if they were pretty too.
Uh-huh…
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. She was so surprised she didn’t say anything. She didn’t tell her mother.
She didn’t say anything at the time, but she eventually told her sister about it.
Johnson reached out to AL.com earlier this week to talk about her experience with Moore.
AL.com located the court documents from 1991, detailing the custody transfer. Cofield’s petition for custody is signed by Roy S. Moore, attorney. It lists his address as 924 Third Avenue, Gadsden.
Meanwhile, Moore’s attorney is challenging Gloria Allred, demanding that she release the yearbook Moore allegedly signed.

Wow: Moore’s attorney is basically implying that Moore’s signature was lifted from the accuser’s divorce papers (he presided over the hearing) and put in the yearbook.

This entire race is wack.
