....She has already said she doesn't remember what year the alleged incident occurred, how she got to the party, who else was at the party, or how she left the party. She doesn't even know where this happened other than it was in Montgomery County, MD, which is where she lived at the time......

According to Wikipedia it happened in the summer of 1982, which would put Kavanaugh's age at the alleged event's time at 17. He was a juvenile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Blasey_Ford
alleging that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in the summer of 1982 when she was 15 and he was 17.

For this to even be a crime, the DA would have had to plea to a judge to move it to criminal court, and to treat him as an adult.

Without that it's just an event for juvenile court, if anything.

Well, where does this stop?

Should we hear about something he did when he was 16?




Christine Ford has said that she isn’t sure when the incident happened although she believes it was in ‘82. This is what she says regardless of what Wikipedia says.

If Kavanaugh is tried, he would likely be tried as a minor, who sits on the Supreme Court (or the DC circuit court of appeals). Although there may be a scenario in which it is unclear that the juvenile court has jurisdiction if it can’t be proven he was a minor at the time, and the “adult” court may not have jurisdiction if it cannot be proven he was over 18.

Regardless of the above, he isn’t going to be investigated by the police because Christine hasn’t reported the alleged incident to the police. Without a police investigation he cannot be tried not charged. I believe the reason this hasn’t been reported is because Christine doesn’t want to be charged with filing a false police report (which is a similar reason she doesn’t want to testify).

If there was any truth to what Christine has claimed, she would have filed a police report immediately after she went public at the absolute latest. I disagree with Trump that she *would* have absolutely went to the police when this happened, however there is no longer any reason she would no longer go to the police today because the reasons people don’t go to the police after these types of incidents no longer apply.

I have read a report that Christine doesn’t want to fly from CA to DC to testify and therefore must make the drive. If this is true, it would only be one more piece of evidence that shows this was intended to move the vote past the midterms.
