BETHESDA, MD — As a California woman prepares to testify that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both prep school students in Bethesda, reports of another high school misdeed were published by one news site, but Montgomery County Police have said the department has no knowledge of the accusation.

The Montgomery County Sentinel reported investigators are looking into allegations by a second woman against Kavanaugh tied to a party during his senior year of high school. The source who claims to know about the investigation wasn’t named, but a Montgomery County police spokesman told Patch the department is not investigating any related allegations. On Thursday, Christine Blasey Ford of California, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in reference to her allegations that a stumbling drunk Kavanaugh pinned her down and groped her when he was a junior at Georgetown Prep school and she attended the nearby all-girls Holton-Arms school.

But since that initial allegation of misconduct, allegations of misconduct by Deborah Ramirez, 53, of Boulder, Colorado, have surfaced from the time they both attended Yale University. Kavanaugh maintains that the alleged assaults did not happen.

Furthermore, Montgomery County Police last week told Bethesda Magazine that unless a complaint is filed with the department, they will not conduct an investigation into the accusations. State Senator Cheryl Kagan, meanwhile, has urged Hogan to step in and conduct an investigation following the White House’s refusal to involve the FBI in allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford.

“It has been distressing to watch the Republicans in the U.S. Senate to try to jam this nomination through an incomplete confirmation process,” Kagan told Bethesda Magazine. “Because this is a lifetime appointment with only nine members on the Supreme Court, I would hope that Governor Hogan would want the U.S. Senate to have as much information as possible about Kavanaugh’s character.”

Governor Larry Hogan said Friday that Maryland’s state police will not investigate the allegations against Kavanaugh. A spokesman for Maryland State Police told the Baltimore Sun on Friday that they would not launch an investigation unless they received a complaint.

Ford told The Washington Post that Kavanaugh and a friend were both deeply intoxicated when they ushered her into a bedroom in Montgomery County. She said Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and, while his former Georgetown Prep classmate Mark Judge watched, and groped her over her clothes.

Kavanaugh ground his body against hers, she alleged, and tried to take off both her one-piece bathing suit and clothes she was wearing over it. Ford said she tried to scream but that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand.

The allegations of misconduct by Ramirez as told to New Yorker magazine say,”I remember a penis being in front of my face,” Ramirez said. She admitted she had been drinking and her memories were unclear. “I knew that’s not what I wanted, even in that state of mind.

Attorney Michael Avenatti addressed the Ramirez claims on Twitter, writing that his client, an anonymous woman, has credible information regarding Kavaugh and his former Georgetown Prep classmate Mark Judge.

In an email from Avenatti to Mike Davis, chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, the attorney claims the witness is prepared to meet with the FBI to further discuss her accusations.
He later tweeted that his client has previously done work within the State Department, U.S. Mint and Department of Justice. “She has been granted multiple security clearances in the past including Public Trust & Secret,” Avenatti wrote. “The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible.”

The White House on Sunday released a statement from Kavanaugh denying the allegations by Ramirez.

“This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen,” read a quote attributed to Kavanaugh on a White House webpage seemingly dedicated to debunking Ramirez’s claims. “The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name—and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building—against these last-minute allegations.”
