Irrelevant. You said what she described wasn't sexual assault. Part of that does not require everything sound like you expect it to (not sure how many rapes you've been a part of, but I sure as hell don't know where someone runs after an attempted rape... Nor do I know just how drunk 2 17 year old boys need to be to not be able to overpower a 15 year old girl)

But if the story is a reasonably accurate representation of what happened (specifically in the room with kavanaugh) then it is attempted rape. I don't know if it's sexual assault or not... Not sure what the definition is)

I think someone going around grabbing strangers' crotches would be sexual assault without approaching any where near rape

But we can call it "kavanaughing" from now on if it makes everyone more comfortable....

Victor, you're assuming she's telling the truth...

Dear Senator Feinstein:

I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court. As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak.

Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of his close friend, Mark G. Judge.

Both were 1-2 years older than me and students at a local private school. The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and 4 others.

Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stairwell from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music, precluding any successful attempts to yell for help.

Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with Judge, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state.

With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth, I feared he may inadvertently kill me.

From across the room, a very drunken Judge said mixed words to Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."

At one point when Judge jumped onto the bed, the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other.

After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me.

Both loudly stumbled down the stairwell, at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.

I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see Judge once at the Potomac Village Safeway, where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me.

I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6, I notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed with sharing this information. It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything.

I am available to speak further should you wish to discuss. I am currently vacationing in the mid-Atlantic until August 7th and will be in California after August 10th.

In confidence,

Christine Blasey

You can't. But we can decide how close each party is to the truth...

Third accuser is expected to pop up within 48 hrs... Curious what this one will say

.... You left out the "tried to disrobe me" part.... Dunno why ...

Not really a statement of opinion.

What actions do you think could possibly result in her having the opinion that they were trying to disrobe her and them thinking something else?

You also left out the pinned her down part. ?

Just because she did not state specifically which item of her clothing he tried to remove doesn't make the accusation that he tried to disrobe her an "opinion"...

....huh... That's... Just not accurate.
Sure... Some actions can be mistaken for others. However her use of the term "disrobe" doesn't actually have any more or less meaning than if she were specific. She could have said "tried taking my pants off" and you still would have used the excuse" maybe he was trying to give her a wedgie" as an excuse to call it an opinion.

So it's a non argument. You would use the same excuse whether she was specific or not.

If she had said he tried taking her pants off by yanking down on them, by unzipping them, by fill in the blank, it's a statement of opinion supported by facts and it would be included... To claim to know what someone is thinking about doing is opinion...

I am not nitpicking... I have simply stated that something that is not at least supported by the inclusion of at least one statement of fact cannot be included as fact...

My suspicion is that you've become hung up on this particular omission because you realize without its inclusion, there is no case for sexual assault...

Y'aint supposed to sell cigars here... Just trades n stuff...

Ah yes, 98.2% here on the boards are Judge, jury & executioner. This gives hope to our daughters everywhere.

Opel, I have read in multiple reports that he pinned her to the wall, or he pinned her down. Perhaps we read different sources? I also read the disrobe me part.

Nice try, but perhaps you could actually answer the question.

The original letter was posted in its entirety a few posts before the edited version... Your multiple sources must have spoken with the victim directly...

Redirect - redirect - redirect -

OK...this will clarify my attempt at humor...

we need to teach our daughters to avoid being alone with cigar smoking older male cons who post their opinions about women on an internet cigar selling political opinion forum...

oh **** ya we do... no disagreement here... thought you were referencing kavanaugh...

She has spoken I believe to various people... It isn't like she's dead and that's the only statement we will ever get from her. I'm sure we'll get clarification on it.

So you got the Resistance running around screaming millions of wimmens will die if 'kavanaugh gets confirmed.. then omg..!! He's gonna get confirmed..!!
What happens..?? A completely unsubstantiated accusation comes out and the whole Democratic party jumps on it as Truth.. there's no innocent till proven guilty here.. I guess we should be grateful 'kavanaugh doesn't play baseball...

He's a cup 90% full kinda guy... I was just showing this wouldn't be the first time someone falsified a 'sexual assault' story...
