Brett Kavanaugh Says He Was a Virgin Throughout High School, Never Sexually Assaulted Anyone
On Monday night, for the first time since Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was publicly accused of sexual assault, he went on television to discuss the allegations. During an interview on Fox News, where he was interviewed alongside his wife, Ashley, Kavanaugh categorically denied the accusations that were previously brought forth by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.
Throughout the interview, Kavanaugh said he wanted a "fair process" and said he would not let "false accusations drive me out of this process."
When asked why Ford would make up allegations (she has said Kavanaugh pinned her down on a bed, groped her, and covered her mouth to keep her from screaming), Kavanaugh only answered by reiterating that he did not assault her. He said, "I am not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford, at some point in her life, was sexually assaulted by someone in some place, but what I know is I never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or at any time in my life."

He also said that if he exposed himself to Ramirez at Yale University, as she has alleged, it would've been "the talk of campus." The reporter asked Kavanaugh why his college roommate told The New Yorker that the situation described by Ramirez was entirely believable; Kavanaugh answered that he would not speculate about his former roommate's motives and instead pointed to his relationship with women who he said he has always treated with "dignity and respect."

The reporter also brought up recent allegations from Michael Avenatti, who tweeted that he represents "a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge." Ford alleges that Judge was in the room when Kavanaugh assaulted her. Avenatti says there is evidence that in high school Kavanugh and Judge would target women with drugs and alcohol in order to allow men to gang rape them.

We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence/witnesses must not be hidden. pic.twitter.com/11XLZJBTtY

When asked about the allegations on Fox, Kavanaugh said they are "totally false and outrageous" and went onto say he was a virgin in high school and for many years thereafter.

It should be noted that neither Ford nor Ramirez's allegations include incidents of sex or any sort of sexual intercourse.
Ford and Kavanaugh are currently expected to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
