Jarrett could well be right on the statute, but there is a reason no complaint has been filed. False complaint filing carries its own penalty in Maryland.

§ 9-501. False statement - To law enforcement officer.

“A person may not make, or cause to be made, a statement, report, or complaint that the person knows to be false as a whole or in material part, to a law enforcement officer...with intent to deceive and to cause an investigation or other action to be taken as a result of the statement, report, or complaint.”

The penalty can be up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine up to $500.

Filing a false report and taking this penalty would be happily paid by many on the left to destroy Kavanaugh. I'm surprised it's done already been done with a friendly DA in Maryland.
