SUPREME COURT: JUSTICE SCALIA DEATH AND SCOTUS CHANGES

[HairOfTheDog]

Christine Blasey Ford, 51, a psychology research professor from California, has come forward to tell her story.   Ford said that one summer in the early 1980s when they were both in high school, Kavanaugh and a friend — both "stumbling drunk," — corralled her into a bedroom during a house party.

She said that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it. When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth which made her fear he might inadvertently kill her.  

Ford said she escaped the situation when Kavanaugh's friend, who says he has no recollection of the event and has never seen Kavanaugh behave in such a manner, jumped on top of them.
