AL.com reports that an attorney for Moore announced the lawsuit at a news conference Monday afternoon. Defendants in the lawsuit include Leigh Corfman, Debbie Wesson Gibson, Beverly Young Nelson and Tina Johnson — all of whom made allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore — as well as Richard Hagedorn.

Moore spoke at the news conference and said he has no intentions of running for public office. He again denied having made any unwanted romantic or sexual advanced toward the women, saying that he “never knew” the women and that “there is no truth” to the allegations against him.

The lawsuit alleges negligence, wantonness, defamation, negligent infliction for emotional distress, intentional infliction of emotional distress, outrage and civil conspiracy.
