Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor at Palo Alto University. Ford has alleged that Kavanaugh and a second person assaulted her at a house party in 1982 in Bethesda, Maryland.

The allegation has halted Kavanaugh’s confirmation process. He sat through his confirmation hearing Sept. 4-7 before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The allegation was first brought to light the following week.

Ford told the Washington Post that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her over her clothes. She said that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand to muffle her screams, and tried to remove her clothing.
