In March 2018, Moore pleaded for donations from supporters to help him defend the defamation lawsuit filed against him by Leigh Corfman, the woman who claims that Moore touched her sexually when she was only fourteen years of age. While Corfman is not seeking financial damages, she is asking that Moore not challenge her in public and pay her attorney fees, which could exceed $100,000 in the suit. Moore said that he is under "a vicious attack" with his funds having been depleted since the Senate race. In his plea, Moore warned that homosexuals and [[transgender]]ed persons have "joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy, and the destruction of all that we hold dear. Unless we stand together, we will lose our country."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/roy-moore-issues-grievance-laden-plea-for-money-‘my-resources-have-been-depleted’/ar-BBJNKit?ocid=spartanntp|title=Roy Moore issues grievance-laden plea for money: ‘My resources have been depleted’|publisher=''[[The Washington Post]]|author=Eli Rosenberg|date=March 3, 2018|accessdate=March 19, 2018}}</ref>
