(7,447 posts)first, she says she was drugged so she doesn't know if he did or didn't rape her.
But she saw him in line to rape other women, and she saw him there that time when she was raped.
So there's a pretty darn good chance he raped her.
Not court of law stuff per se (and even that's arguable), but way more than needed to remove this guy from consideration.

I can see where the affidavit allows your point, though, absent some clarification from her counsel.

"In approximately 1982 I became the victim of one of these "gang" or "train" rapes where Mark Judge of Brett Kavanaugh were present...During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me."

We were all in junior high school at the time. 13 yrs. old. North Bethesda.
I'm certain they were still around, not many, but still around at the time of the alleged incidents.

(58,785 posts)and everything else, but one advantage of being significantly younger than most was seeing what drugs were doing to others. Looking back, I have a new appreciation for my boyfriend and his friends. I was offered plenty that was being passed around, but even though I was working and had money, no one at those gatherings ever approached me directly to sell or introduce me to new drugs. Never realized then how they must have been protecting me.

(31,261 posts)Doesn't take much to conclude one of two things, Kavabaugh at the minimum was complicit in the rapes, most likely he was involved in the rapes. Either one disqualifies him, the latter can put him in prison.
