Tina Johnson was in her 20s and signing over custody of her son to her mother in 1991 when she says Roy Moore groped her, an account she first shared with AL.com.

Visiting his law offices to sign forms, Johnston told NBC News that Moore grabbed her buttocks so forcefully that she said she could feel the "dents of his fingers."
"I was so humiliated and sickened," she said of the groping.

During the meeting, she said Moore, who was married at the time, had flirted with her a lot. Fearing his power over the custody proceedings, Johnston said she was too scared to say anything.

"He asked me how old I was," she remembered. "And he was kind of surprised — I was 20-something. God, I don't remember how old I was — but he [...] got quiet a little bit, and then, 'You don't look that old.'"


AL.com reported that the custody transfer document includes Moore's signature. NBC News has not independently verified the document.

"He had power over me. He, he had me in a position where I could do nothing. And I didn't want it, you know, I was vulnerable and he took advantage of that," Johnson added. "And he knew it."
