A new book from two New York Times reporters reveals a previously unknown allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, and offers new details from Deborah Ramirez and Christine Blasey Ford
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary committee last September regarding the allegations of sexual assault made against him.

Not long after Donald Trump announced Kavanaugh’s nomination, the public soon learned that the would-be justice hid a sordid history of youthful, alcohol-soaked behavior.
Harmon Joyce did not discuss the alleged incident with Pogrebin and Kelly, though the reporters write that “several” of her friends say that she does not remember the incident in question. But in a written statement, she described Ramirez as a person of “integrity and character” who is “honest to a fault.”
At the time of the Kavanaugh incident, Deborah Ramirez told her mother that “something happened” at Yale Pogrebin and Kelly write that Ramirez felt out of place at Yale. She came from a working class background, and her new classmates frequently picked on her because of her Puerto Rican heritage. When Kavanaugh put his penis in her face, she told the reporters, it wasn’t just a violation. It was confirmation that she didn’t belong in the tony Ivy League.
Afterwards, she spiralled. Her grades suffered. Her relationships suffered. Later, she moved to California, and never lived on the East Coast full-time again.
