(CNN) Failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore says the women who accused him of sexual assault were part of a political conspiracy, according to a lawsuit filed Monday . The defendants include three women who made accusations against Moore as well as two other people. The complaint also says the "liberal media" was eager to bury Moore's candidacy and has repeated over and over that nine women accused Moore. Johnson accused Moore of grabbing her buttocks when she was leaving his law office in 1991. Paula Cobia, who represents Johnson, said Moore's accusations of "political conspiracy" are frivolous and that he"acted and sounded like a guilty person running scared" during his press conference.
