Second Sexual Misconduct Allegation Against US Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh
 |
| Brett Kavanaugh |
The claim made by Deborah Ramirez dates to the 1983-84 academic school year, when Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale University.
Ramirez, 53, told the New Yorker magazine on Sunday that the judge had once exposed himself to her at a drunken dormitory party and forced her to touch his genitals.
“I would think an FBI investigation would be warranted,” she told the New Yorker after carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney for six days.
The alleged assault affected her in a way that Ramirez would go on to spend years working for an organisation that supported victims of domestic violence.
The allegation by Ramirez is expected to further complicate Kavanaugh’s situation, as he is already facing similar accusations from another woman named Christine Blasey Ford.
The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed the vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation after Ford disclosed last week that the judge had sexually assaulted her during a violent encounter at another drunken party back in the 1980s.
During his confirmation hearing, Kavanaugh swore under oath that he had never “committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature” as a legal adult.
He has firmly denied claims by both Ford and Ramirez, expressing his readiness to testify before the Senate panel.
