Holy S###, I knew this would happen.
Get back on track, for Heaven’s sake.
In her twisted mind, He TRIED TO FEEL HER UP.
GEEZ.
So, it's always been the case that she alleged sexual assault. It's true that this doesn't have to rise to the level of attempted rape (and she didn't use the word, although other pundits have).
What isn't being discussed is the suggestion of attempted third degree murder. When Ford says "I feared he may inadvertently kill me," she's suggesting that what transpired could have resulted in this. Of course it didn't, and it's perhaps a fine line as to whether aggressive clothed play on a bed is sexual assault.
The discussion must be phrased in a way that addresses her claims without inserting Kavanaugh as the de facto perpetrator. Kavanaugh says that it's mistaken identity, and that he wasn't there. Personally, I believe that. However, we all know that if this hearing occurs, it will be non-stop "when did you stop raping your wife" accusations hurled at Kavanaugh.
