Brett Kavanaugh Spiked Drinks And Gang-Raped Girls: New Accuser

WASHINGTON, DC — A third woman has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, this time accusing President Donald Trump's U.S. Supreme Court nominee of spiking drinks with his friends and gang-raping girls. Lawyer Michael Avenatti, who represents adult film star Stormy Daniels, tweeted Wednesday that he is representing Julie Swetnick and released a sworn declaration from her accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Swetnick, a graduate of Gaithersburg High School in Maryland who lives in Washington, D.C., says she met Kavanaugh at a house party in the D.C.-area in the early 1980s. She says she personally saw Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge drug girls' drinks to make it easier to sleep with them and even "gang raped" some girls.

"During the years 1981-82, I became aware of efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to "spike" the "punch" at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhabitions and their ability to say 'No,'" Swetnick said in the declaration.

She said she avoided the punch at the parties and that Kavanaugh, Judge and others targeted certain gurls who they thought they could take advantage of. They were often vulnerable because they were alone or shy, Swetnick said. She said she also saw the duo gang rape some girls.

"I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their 'turn' with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh."

Swetnick said she became one of the gang rape victims around 1982 and that both Judge and Kavaunagh were present. She said she was incapacitated at the time and was unable to fight off the boys who were raping her. She thinks they spiked her drink with Quaaludes or something similar, the powerful drug that gained notoriety in Bill Cosby's assault case.

Avenatti said Swetnick is a very strong and courageous woman for coming forward and added that she has multiple security clearances issued by the federal government. Avenatti called out Trump, Kavanaugh and Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, by name Tuesday, threatening to "respond in kind and then some" should they choose to attack his client. The Senate panel plans to hold a hearing Thursday where both Kavanaugh and professor Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychologist who also accused Kavanaugh of assault, plan to testify.

Another woman came forward this week accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct at a Yale party when he was in college.

Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, taking to Fox News Monday to declare his innocence.
