Roy Moore, the failed Republican Senate candidate from Alabama who faced allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate sexual contact with underage girls in the 1970s, say he’s asked God and his supporters for help with his legal defense fund.

In a Facebook FB, -1.54% post this week, Moore said he pleaded for $250,000 in financial help to deal with his mounting legal expenses. “I have lawyers who want to help but they are not without cost and besides their fees, legal expenses could run over $100,000,” wrote.

Doug Jones beat Moore in a bitter race last December for the Alabama Senate, becoming the first Democrat to win a seat in the Senate since 1992. Moore fought the allegations, first reported in the Washington Post, that he dated and pursued young teenage girls in the 1970s.

“This article is a prime example of fake news, intended to divert attention from the true issues that affect our country, like health care, military readiness, tax reform, immigration and the national debt,” Moore said at the time.

But those child-molestation allegations, plus deeply divisive positions that led to Moore being removed from the state’s Supreme Court twice, led to Jones’s narrow victory in the Senate race last December. Jones also received a boost from Alabama’s African-American voters.

Moore said this week that his legal battles has taken its toll on his family and friends. “My resources have been depleted and I have struggled to make ends meet, but I have not lost my faith in our God, who is our true source of strength and will never leave or forsake us,” he said.

“I have had to establish a legal defense fund, anything you give will be appreciated,” Moore wrote on Facebook. “The liberal media, in association with some who want to destroy our country, do not want my influence in the 2018 elections and are doing everything they can to stop me.”

Thus far, Moore has raised over $32,000 of his $250,000 goal. He added: “Your financial contributions helped me fight over $50 million dollars from Washington insiders who did not want me to bring the truth about God and our Constitution to Washington D. C.”
