Woman shares new evidence of relationship with Roy Moore when she was 17
Delray Beach, Fla. Debbie Wesson Gibson was in her attic hauling out boxes of Christmas decorations last week when she noticed a storage bin she said she had forgotten about. Inside was a scrapbook from her senior year of high school, and taped to a page titled Those Who Inspire was a graduation card.
Happy graduation Debbie, it read in slanted cursive handwriting. I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that youll be a success in anything you do. Roy.
The inscription, Gibson said, was written by Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican nominee for U.S. Senate who in recent days has repeatedly denied the accounts of five women who told The Washington Post that he pursued them when they were teenagers and he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s. Since those allegations were published last month, four more women have come forward to allege that Moore made unwanted sexual advances. The accounts in The Post included those of Leigh Corfman, who said she was 14 when Moore touched her sexually, and Gibson, who said that she publicly dated Moore when she was 17 and he was 34, a relationship she said she wore like a badge of honor until she began reevaluating it in light of the accounts of other women, and now, Moores own denials.
... snip
What made her decision to share the documents easier, she said, was watching and re-watching a video she has on her cellphone of Moore speaking last week and deciding that supporting the women who have come forward was more important than staying silent.

But now she thinks it was skeevy, too. Roy Moore can blame himself for Gibson's change of heart.

grown woman. But that's not what he's thinking... he sees how easy you are to play.
