A woman who claims she dated Alabama Senate candidate Roy More when she was 17 and he was 34 told NBC News that the former chief judge of the state’s Supreme Court “is unfit for public service at the Senate level in this nation.”

Debbie Wesson Gibson is among the women who spoke to The Washington Post for an article published early last month detailing allegations that Moore initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s. Gibson said her relationship with Moore was consensual and never progressed beyond kissing.


Now, though, Gibson told NBC’s “Today” show that her relationship with Moore was “not appropriate. It’s just creeper, and I did not have that sense at the time.”

In the wake of the Post report, another woman came forward alleging that Moore had sexually assaulted her when she was 16 and he was in his 30s.

Moore has denied all wrongdoing and that he does not know the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct, even though one of them has a yearbook with what appears to be his signature in it. The Republican Senate candidate, in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, did not rule out the possibility that he had dated teenage women when he was much older than them.

Gibson, too, has a handwritten note from Moore inside a high school memory book, evidence she showed NBC to prove she knows the GOP Senate candidate. Moore had initially claimed that he did not know any of the women who spoke to the Post for its story and only later clarified that he claimed not to know only the women who accused him of sexual misconduct.

“I would encourage people, however, to ask themselves do you want a man who lies now?” Gibson said.

While the accusations have cost Moore the support of some within the Republican Party, President Donald Trump has offered him a full-throated endorsement. Alabamians will receive a robocall from the president Monday on Moore’s behalf ahead of Tuesday’s special election, and Trump hosted a rally in nearby Pensacola, Florida, last Friday where he championed Moore’s candidacy.

Trump’s endorsement of Moore, Gibson said, indicated he “is a man who is willing to sell his soul for political gain.”
