Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson added words beneath controversial yearbook signature

WASHINGTON – Beverly Young Nelson, who accused Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 16, said Friday that she added words to the inscription she said was written by Moore in her 1977 yearbook.

"I had wrote under it where it happened at," she said on Good Morning America. "I want to make this straight."

Nelson claims that Moore inscribed the words: "To a sweeter, more beautiful girl I could not say, 'Merry Christmas' 1977. Love, Roy Moore."

A last line, "12-22-1977 Old Hickory House" was also inscribed under Moore's signature. The inscription also included "D.A."

Later on Friday, Nelson's lawyer Gloria Allred said that the additions were made to "remind herself of who Roy Moore was, and where and when Mr. Moore signed her yearbook."

Last month, Nelson became the fifth woman to accuse Moore, the Republican running to fill Alabama's Senate seat, of sexual misconduct. She said Moore groped and assaulted her in an attempt to have sex with her when she was 16. Moore was 30 at the time and an assistant district attorney.

Moore faces allegations of sexually harassing assaulting teenagers as young as 14 while he was in his 30s.

When Nelson first came forward, she showed the message at a press conference with Allred. She said he wrote the inscription in the weeks before he attacked her.

The yearbook has become a hot topic among Moore's supporters, who have questioned the authenticity of the signature.

At Friday's press conference, Allred provided a report to reporters from a forensic document expert, who assessed that the signature in the yearbook was Moore's.
