Accuser in UAB sex abuse case calls out Jones for 'hypocrisy' for position on Moore accusers

 Doug Jones at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama Tuesday October 3, 2017.   (Joe Songer | jsonger@al.com).

A woman who sued her university in 2001 over sexual abuse she allegedly suffered as a 15-year-old said Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones questioned the timing and motivation of her accusations while defending employees of the University of Alabama at Birmingham in a $40 million lawsuit.

Brittany Benefield said she has been thinking about the case a lot in recent days as allegations surfaced that Jones' opponent, Roy Moore, engaged in inappropriate relationships with teen girls during his early 30s. Jones has said he finds Moore's accusers credible.

"I find it to be the height of hypocrisy that he sets his campaign to be on the moral high ground against Roy Moore," said Benefield.
