The woman who accuses Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers testified to senators Thursday that the incident was “seared into my memory” even though she doesn’t remember all the details.
Christine Blasey Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee that while she doesn’t recall where or exactly when in 1982 the incident occurred, she remembers Kavanaugh groping her at a house party, trying to take off her clothes and covering her mouth to keep her from screaming.
“The details about that night that bring me here today are the ones I will never forget,” the California psychology professor said. “They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.” She said she was “terrified” to testify before the committee and that she “agonized daily” about whether to come forward with her claim.
