IMO, a sexual assault probably happened. My wife is more skeptical of that. She was assaulted as a teen, and she says all the details - where she was, who was there, when it happened, etc. - are burned into her memory.
Regarding whether it was Kavanaugh - yes, serious doubt. It wouldn't surprise me if Ford was assaulted, but by someone else.
Quote:Regardless, I think you would agree that her recounting the incident in therapy is stronger corroboration than her testimony alone at this date.
Sure. Like I said, all facts and circumstances. But, there are discrepancies between what she said then and now. They're not automatically disqualifying, but they're a factor.
