An investigation is underway after the house of one of Roy Moore’s accusers burned down this week.
On Tuesday, the family home of Tina Johnson, one of the several women who recently accused the failed U.S. Senate candidate of sexual misconduct in the 1990s, was destroyed in a blaze.
No one appears to have been harmed by the fire at the Gadsden, Ala., residence, as everyone was out of the house, but the family lost everything they owned.
“That fire is still under investigation by the Etowah County Arson Task Force,” public information officer for the Etowah County Sheriff’s Department, Natalie Barton, told AL.com on Friday.
Authorities are in the process of questioning a person of interest, but no charges have been filed yet.
“I am devastated, just devastated,” Johnson told reporters on Friday. “We have just the clothes on our backs.”
One of Johnson’s neighbors said that he had seen a young man, who has a reputation for being publicly intoxicated, lurking around the home shortly before the fire. It is unknown at this time if this is the same person being questioned.
Johnson’s family is currently staying in a nearby motel and receiving help from her neighbors.
