A second woman has come forward to accuse Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a minor.
Beverly Young Nelson says Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 15 and 16. She held a news conference Monday with attorney Gloria Allred.
Moore called the allegations a "witch hunt" in a statement shortly before the press conference.
Her statement follows a Washington Post report that the 70-year-old More had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl and pursued three other teenagers decades earlier.
Moore had no immediate comment about the most recent allegations. He dismissed the Post story as "fake news" and denied the reports.
He has refused to quit the race even with pressure mounting, including from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they speak publicly, which the women have done.
----
The accusation comes following last week's Washington Post report in which Leigh Corfman claims that she had a sexual encounter with Moore when she was 14-years-old. Moore was a 32-year old assistant district attorney in Etowah County at the time of the alleged incident.
Moore called the allegations in the Post's report "completely false and a desperate political attack."
