‘I thought he might inadvertently kill me,’ Brett Kavanaugh accuser goes public with her story

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who wrote the letter accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, is going public with her story, saying she thought he might kill her.

‘I thought he might inadvertently kill me,’ said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California, to The Washington Post. ‘He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.’

Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh’s classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them and sent them tumbling.

She told the newspaper she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house where the party was taking place.

Ford said the incident happened during the summer in the early 1980s, when Kavanaugh and a friend — both ‘stumbling drunk,’ Ford charges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.
