Fox News updated a story that erroneously claimed one of Roy Moores accusers had forged evidence shed presented to bolster her claim against him.
Beverly Young Nelson said in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred in November that the Republican Alabama Senate candidate had sexually assaulted her in the late 1970s when she was a teen and he was in his 30s. Nelson produced a yearbook signed by Moore last month as proof he had known her.
In a Friday press conference, Allred said Nelson had noted beneath the inscription when and where she recalled Moore writing it. Nelson also confirmed she had made the notes during an interview with ABCs Tom Llamas.
Beverly, he signed your yearbook, Llamas stated.
He did sign it, Nelson affirmed.
And you made some notes underneath, he continued.
Yes, she said.

Moore shared a tweet from Fox containing the misleading headline; however, while Fox has since deleted its tweet, Moore has not deleted his. President Trump also seized on the yearbook comments to attack Nelson at a Florida rally.
Foxs headline has now been updated to Roy Moore accuser admits she wrote part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama Senate candidate, although the URL of the story still contains the previous language.

References to forgery in the original story were also removed, and a note was added to the bottom for clarification.
An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as notes beneath what she says is Roy Moores signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location. Furthermore, the headline on story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it.
Allred said Friday that a handwriting expert had verified the signature and inscription in Nelsons yearbook belonged to Moore.
To a sweeter, more beautiful girl, I could not say Merry Christmas. Love, Roy Moore D.A., the note read.
