Agreed, and this is sad. If the charges are false which is quite possible those who are behind it are throwing the real victims of terrible crimes under the bus in a desperate attempt to halt a qualified nominee who's ideology they dislike.

Facts so far as reported by the media:

1) The accuser in this case has not yet provided any evidence (other then therapist notes from 2012) to corroborate her claim of assault from 36 years ago. Both of the men she claims were present deny it vociferously.  

2) The accuser has not provided a location of the crime, or a definitive time the alleged crime occurred.

3) The accuser told no one of the alleged assault at the time. She mentioned it to her therapist in 2012. The therapist notes state that in 2012 she claimed there were 4 attackers not 2 and Kavanaugh's name was not mentioned in the notes.

4) Ms. Ford is reported to have requested anonymity and stated that she did not want to come forward but is also reported to have taken a polygraph test in August.

5) The accuser attorney said Ms. Ford was willing to testify before the Judiciary committee but she has yet to respond to the Senate's official request that she do so.

The facts so far do not inspire a lot of confidence in the truthfulness of the accusation but she deserves the opportunity to testify under oath and present her charges.
