Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Monday defended himself against the sexual assault allegations roiling his nomination by saying he was a virgin through high school and college.
"We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault," Kavanaugh said in a clip released from his interview on Fox News Channel's "The Story with Martha MacCallum."
"I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone," Kavanaugh said. "I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter ... The girls from the schools I went to, and I, were friends."
"Through all these years that were in question, you were a virgin?" Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked.
"That’s correct," Kavanaugh replied, adding that he did not have sex until "many years after" college.
Neither of the two accusations regarding Kavanaugh involve sexual intercourse. Christine Blasey Ford is alleging Kavanaugh held her down and groped her over her clothes during a high school party in 1982, and Deborah Ramirez claims he exposed himself without her consent during a gathering at Yale University a few years later.
Fox News released clips from the interview throughout the evening on Monday.
At another point in the interview, Kavanaugh vowed he is "not going anywhere" despite the allegations.
"I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process," he said, sitting beside his wife as she nodded.
Kavanaugh during the interview denied attending the party in Ford's account.
"[I am] not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone at some place but what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone," he said.
Ford has stated that she is sure Kavanaugh was the man who allegedly assaulted her in an episode that she says has caused her decades of emotional trauma.
The full interview is scheduled to air at 7 p.m. EST.
Like never having to visit a VD clinic.

A boy in high school isn’t a virgin because he respects women. It’s more likely just that he’s ugly.
Until today and the obvious visciousness of caged libs there was no need.
Now the curtain is pulled back for all to see.
Refer to post 113 for an explanation.
The 1980s were the AIDS era. It’s not surprising that a rational and moral man like BK would want to exercise life-saving caution.
I don’t know. He’s the target of some nasty accusations. It must be shocking to experience that type of abuse.
He seems like a good guy.
he was married to Mary Bono at the time.
You ARE being sarcastic, right?
Well as you know someone could still come forward because they are lying scum. I am actually shocked how the democrats are acting.
She’s disgusting and mentally deficient.
Medical records to prove what? Did you really just say that?
Actually I find it to be an honorable thing but I think in this day and age its hard for some men to say that they remained a virgin til they got married
It takes a special kind of ugly to say something like that.
Well said.
“I think this is a bad idea, because hardly anyone will believe him.”
Many will believe him.
Do you really think that all those guys who brag about their sexual escapades in HS and college really had them?
Much of it is face-saving braggadocio.
.
Virginity and respect for women have nothing to do with each other. Men don’t have sex with women they don’t respect. They have sex with women who let them, and when they do, they have their utmost respect.
Not joking.
Now comes the “He cant be a SC justice because his attitudes on sex are so much different than “average” people”.
A boy in high school isn’t a virgin because he respects women. It’s more likely just that he’s ugly.

Not true, unless you know of a high school that doesn’t have a few ugly girls.
I am talking about the left here. Do you expect them to think like what you posted? If you do, you are naive.
People here are confusing the fact that I think it is fine he was a virgin with how a lefty is going to act upon hearing it.
That said, the left will make fun a slam him for whatever he says or does.
Can only talk about my particular high school back in the early 60's. The percentage of virgin guys was much higher than the locker room talk would have you believe.
As with the rest of life, the top 10% having good looks and money got 90% of the action.
