11-11-17 A former prosecutor who once worked alongside embattled Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore in the early 1980s told CNN it was "common knowledge" at the time that Moore dated high school girls.
"It was common knowledge that Roy dated high school girls, everyone we knew thought it was weird," former deputy district attorney Teresa Jones told CNN in comments aired Saturday. "We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall ... but you really wouldn't say anything to someone like that."
CBS News has reached out to Jones for comment.
Jones, now a partner at the Syprett, Meshad, Resnick, Lieb, Dumbaugh, Jones, Krotec & Westheimer, P.A. law firm based in Sarasota, Florida, served as deputy district attorney for Etowah County, Alabama from 1982 to 1985, according to her firm's website. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/teresa-jones-says-roy-moore-common-knowledge-dated-teens/

11-9-17 Leigh Corfman says she was 14 years old when an older man approached her outside a courtroom in Etowah County, Alabama. 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 don’t want her to go in there and hear all that. I’ll stay out here with her,’ ” says Corfman’s mother, Nancy Wells, 71. “I thought, how nice for him to want to take care of my little girl.”
Alone with Corfman, Moore chatted with her and asked for her phone number, she says. Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.
“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.
Two of Corfman’s childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, and one says Corfman identified the man as Moore. Wells says her daughter told her about the encounter more than a decade later, as Moore was becoming more prominent as a local judge....
She says she thought of confronting Moore personally for years, and almost came forward publicly during his first campaign for state Supreme Court in 2000, but decided against it. Her two children were still in school then and she worried about how it would affect them. She also was concerned that her background — three divorces and a messy financial history — might undermine her credibility.
“There is no one here that doesn’t know that I’m not an angel,” Corfman says, referring to her home town of Gadsden. Corfman described her story consistently in six interviews with The Post. The Post confirmed that her mother attended a hearing at the courthouse in February 1979 through divorce records. Moore’s office was down the hall from the courtroom.
Neither Corfman nor any of the other women sought out The Post. While reporting a story in Alabama about supporters of Moore’s Senate campaign a Post reporter heard that Moore allegedly had sought relationships with teenage girls. Over the ensuing three weeks two Post reporters contacted and interviewed the four women. All were initially reluctant to speak publicly but chose to do so after multiple interviews, saying they thought it was important for people to know about their interactions with Moore. The women say they don’t know one another.
“I have prayed over this,” Corfman says, explaining why she decided to tell her story now. “All I know is that I can’t sit back and let this continue, let him continue without the mask being removed.”
This account is based on interviews with more than 30 people who said they knew Moore between 1977 and 1982, when he served as an assistant district attorney for Etowah County in northern Alabama, where he grew up. http://www.gadsdentimes.com/news/20171109/woman-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14

A woman says Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a minor. Beverly Young Nelson said Monday that the alleged incident occurred in 1977, when she was a 16-year-old waitress in a Gadsden, Ala., restaurant where Moore, then 30, was a regular customer and would often flirt with her.
A week or two later, Nelson said, she was waiting to get a ride home from work from her boyfriend, who was late, when Moore offered to drive her. Nelson said that Moore groped her in his car without her consent. When she told him to stop, Nelson said Moore squeezed the back of her neck and tried to force her head “onto his crotch.”
“I was terrified,” Nelson said in a detailed statement delivered at a press conference in New York City, where she was introduced to reporters by her lawyer, Gloria Allred. “I thought that he was going to rape me.”
Nelson said that at some point Moore gave up and warned her not to tell anyone about the encounter. “He then looked at me and said, ‘You are a child. I am the district attorney,’” Nelson recalled. “If you tell anyone about this, no one will believe you.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/new-woman-accuses-roy-moore-sexual-assault-minor-202055321.html

Pyongyang's Room 38 and Room 39 coordinate most of the criminal operations carried out by North Korea. Room 39 is known to maintain contacts with other organized global criminal groups, supplying them with intelligence information, transportation and weapons. Bureau 38 is known to ship heroin all over Asia and vast quantities of methamphetamines to China and the Philippines. Additionally in February 2017 Bureau 39 shipped encrypted communications systems and man-portable anti-aircraft missiles to unnamed countries in Asia and Africa.
Rooms 38 and 39 also run networks of illegal and legal companies that often change names. Two companies documented as part of Room 39 is the Zokwang Trading and Taesong Bank. North Korean Room 39 ventures produce vast quantities of textile products each year marked with fake MADE IN CHINA" labels. Estimates are that Room 39 earns as much as $2 billion a year illegally for Kim.
The addition of Room 38 and Room 39 to the information security attack structure provides avenues for North Korean insider attacks against international banking, financial, corporate and government systems. The use of sex, drugs and bribery to recruit or blackmail trusted employees and officials by Room 38/39 combined with malware and info-sec attacks via Bureau 121 adds an entire new dimension to Kim's arsenal.
The lethal combination of insider and cyberwar ops may explain more recent successful attacks against the South Korean Defense ministry where US and South Korean military plans were stolen. https://www.softwar.net/dprkrime.html
