Attorney Michael Avenatti has revealed that a third woman, Julie Swetnick, is accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Swetnick becomes the third woman — joining Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez — to accuse the Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault.
Avenatti posted Swetnick’s affidavit on Twitter, which claims that when Kavanaugh was a high school student in the early 1980s, he and others “spiked the drinks of girls at house parties with grain alcohol and/or drugs to cause girls to lose inhibitions and their ability to say ‘No.’ ”
Swetnick claims that Kavanaugh and his buddy Mark Judge spiked drinks at parties so girls “could then be ‘gang-raped’ in a side room or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys.”
Furthermore, Swetnick’s affidavit states that she was a victim of Kavanaugh’s, stating that she “became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present” in 1982.
The release of Swetnick’s affidavit comes one day before Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford were set to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“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,” she said in the statement. “These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.”
Swetnick alleged she became one of the victims of “one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes.”
She did not allege that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her. Two other women, Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, have come forward with their own allegations against Kavanaugh.
Swetnick, a resident of Washington, D.C., said she was a graduate of Gaithersburg High School in Maryland. She had worked for several government agencies, including the U.S. Mint and the State Department, and had held security clearances, she said.
Avenatti has also called for an FBI investigation into Swetnick’s allegations. Kavanaugh has denied all accusations of sexual misconduct and claims to have been a virgin in high school.
At the time of this writing, the White House has not released a comment on the allegations made by Swetnick.
