Moore, then around 30 years old, asked for her phone number and the name of her school.<\/p>\n<p>Richardson said when she declined to give Moore her number, he called her school days later and asked to speak with her \u2013 prompting her to be pulled from her trigonometry class to take the call from the principal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>Richardson told the Post she accepted a date with Moore because she was initially flattered. But during their encounter, he drove her to an empty parking lot and tried to forcefully kiss her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never wanted to see him again,\u201d Richardson, now 58 and a community college teacher, said.<\/p>\n<p>Gray, who also had not yet spoken publicly, said she was 22 and working at the mall when she was approached by Moore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d always say no, I\u2019m dating someone, no, I\u2019m in a relationship,\u201d Gray, now 62, recalled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he was old at that time. Anyone over 22 was just old.\u201d Gray added that Moore would linger and she complained about him to her manager.<\/p>\n<p>The new allegations in the Post came just hours after another new accuser\u00a0<a class=\"u-underline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2017\/11\/new_roy_moore_accuser_he_didnt.html#incart_m-rpt-2\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">told Al.com<\/a>\u00a0that Moore groped her behind while she was in his law office in 1991. \u201cHe didn\u2019t pinch it; he grabbed it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, Tina Johnson, said she was 28 at the time, in Moore\u2019s office with her mother on legal business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe kept commenting on my looks, telling me how pretty I was, how nice I looked,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cHe was saying that my eyes were beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson said Moore even asked questions about her young daughters, including if they were as pretty as she was, and grabbed her buttocks as she was leaving.<\/p>\n<p>In the same piece, Kelly Harrison Thorp said Moore asked her out when she was 17, saying: \u201cI go out with girls your age all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore\u2019s campaign did not address the new allegations, but has vehemently denied the claims made by his other accusers.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, a defiant Moore was joined by his lawyer, Phillip Jauregui, and his campaign chairman, Bill Armistead, at a press conference in Birmingham, which sought to discredit Moore\u2019s accusers. Jauregui specifically challenged the account of Beverly Young Nelson, a 56-year-old\u00a0<a class=\"u-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/alabama\" data-link-name=\"auto-linked-tag\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Alabama<\/a>\u00a0resident who on Monday alleged that Moore had sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old.<\/p>\n<p>He also issued an open letter that said: \u201cI adamantly deny the allegations of Leigh Corfman and Beverly Nelson, did not date underage girls, and have taken steps to begin a civil action for defamation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The press conference occurred as Alabama\u2019s state Republican party gathered its steering committee for an emergency meeting on possible alternative paths forward. Party officials are reportedly weighing a write-in campaign, an approach that has also been advocated by the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, McConnell publicly stated his view that Sessions, who remains broadly popular in his home state, should mount a write-in campaign if he is willing to part ways with his position as attorney general. Republican leaders have even floated the possibility that they will move to expel Moore from the Senate if he wins the election despite the allegations, even as a new poll found him now trailing his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones by 12 points amid the scandal.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"element element-rich-link element--thumbnail element-rich-link--upgraded\" data-component=\"rich-link\" data-link-name=\"rich-link-2 | 2\">\n<div class=\"rich-link tone-comment--item rich-link--pillar-opinion\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__container\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__read-more\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__arrow\">Moore\u2019s refusal to bow out of the race, despite the insistence of a growing chorus of Republican lawmakers that he do so, has escalated pressure on Donald Trump to weigh in on the matter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But the president, who returned to Washington this week following a 12-day tour of Asia, ignored questions at the White House on Wednesday when asked by reporters if Moore should quit or if Trump believed his accusers. Trump also declined to comment on the allegations during his Asia visit, telling reporters he had been focused on his trip.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanka Trump became the first White House official to condemn Moore on Wednesday, telling the Associated Press: \u201cThere\u2019s a special place in hell for people who prey on children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve yet to see a valid explanation [from Moore] and I have no reason to doubt the victims\u2019 accounts,\u201d Trump\u2019s daughter and senior adviser said.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanka did not, however, call on Moore to exit the race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The women join a growing list of accusers alleging sexual misconduct by the former judge, who is seeking to fill the Senate seat vacated by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-family"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gopplaybook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-03-01_15-33-56.jpg?fit=458%2C270&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8VBh7-1D","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1126,"url":"https:\/\/www.gopplaybook.com\/?p=1126","url_meta":{"origin":101,"position":0},"title":"Unreported Sexual Assaults Surge at Military Academies, Pentagon Finds","author":"Donnie","date":"February 1, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Graduating cadets at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.
