Julie Swetnick, one of the women accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, faced allegations of her own misconduct during a short stint at a Portland tech company 18 years ago.
Swetnick, 55, became the third woman in recent weeks to raise allegations against Kavanaugh. She issued a statement Wednesday in which she claimed she'd observed Kavanaugh at alcohol-fueled parties where women were mistreated. Her attorney is Michael Avenatti, a fierce critic of President Donald Trump who is reportedly considering a presidential run in 2020. Avenatti also represents Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress who claims to have had an affair with Trump before he took office.
The lawsuit was dismissed shortly after it was filed late in 2000, court documents show. In emails to The Oregonian/OregonLive, Avenatti called the allegations against his client, "Completely bogus."
"This lawsuit never had any merit as evidenced by how quickly it was dismissed," Avenatti wrote. "It was originally filed in retaliation for my client making claims against the company."
Swetnick worked at Portland-based Webtrends for a few months in 2000, according to a civil suit the Portland company filed against her late that year. The company said she was hired as a professional services engineer to work off-site. It's not clear whether she ever worked in Webtrends' Portland office.
In the suit, Webtrends alleged Swetnick claimed to have graduated from Johns Hopkins University but the company said it subsequently learned the school had no record of her attendance. Webtrends said she also "falsely described her work experience" at a prior employer.
The suit also alleges Swetnick "engaged in unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct" while at Webtrends and "made false and retaliatory allegations that other co-workers had engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her."
The suit alleges Swetnick "engaged in unwelcome sexual innuendo and inappropriate conduct" directed at two male employees during a business lunch, with Webtrends customers present. Swetnick claimed two other employees had sexually harassed her, according to the suit.
Webtrends' suit said it determined Swetnick had engaged in misconduct but could not find evidence to support her allegations against her colleagues. Later, the company alleged, Swetnick took medical leave and simultaneously claimed unemployment benefits in the District of Columbia.
In the suit, Webtrends alleged Swetnick threatened legal action against the company over her own harassment claims. The lawsuit claimed that act defamed the business and sought at least $150,000 on behalf of an employee that Swetnick had allegedly made false statements about.
Webtrends still operates in Portland, where its technology helps clients measure and analyze traffic on their websites. The company declined comment on the suit this week.
While Swetnick issued a sworn affidavit this week attesting to the truth of her allegations against Kavanaugh, news organizations have said they could not corroborate any of her claims. A former boyfriend once filed a restraining order against her.
The allegations from Swetnick are separate from, and apparently unconnected to, allegations Christine Blasey Ford made against Kavanaugh related to a period when she and the judge were in high school. Ford testified about her own allegations before a U.S. Senate committee Thursday.
Ford, now a professor in California, was the first to go public Sept. 16. In the early 1980s, she told The Washington Post, a drunken Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed during a party and put his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams as he tried to take off her clothes.
Then Deborah Ramirez told The New Yorker, in a report published Sunday, that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a drunken dorm party 35 years ago at Yale.
This is the same vile slut who claims that she was at TEN parties in which Kavanaugh and his friends got girls drunk and then gang raped them.
She kept going to parties over and over again where she knew there would be booze-fueled organized gang rapes. Ten parties, ten gang rapes.
Even the Slimes wouldn’t go with this outrageous pack of lies. But the f—tard Rats on the judiciary committee are calling this slut’s lies “credible.”
My bet—New allegations will come out Saturday night—Really hit Monday—with Witnesses who will swear they saw Kav doing something outrageous. Want to get rich? Accuse Kav of something! Even if you go to jail—President Harris will pardon you in 2021!
Each new round of fake allegations against Kavanaugh will be more sordid, more vile. Next round of attacks will include more gang rapes, gang rapes involving small children, orgies, beastiality, homosexual rape, torture, etc.
There’s nothing too low, too vile or too sickening for the Rat operatives. They are truly agents of Satan.
No such thing as a Professional Services Engineer.
Does she have a Professional Engineering License, in order to label her work as a type of Engineering?
That could be a fancy name for a prostitute. If a trash collector can be called a sanitation engineer, then a prostitute could be called a Professional Services Engineer.
There is no stink the Rats will avoid.
This is a misleading sentence- it could be read to mean that as far back as the 1980s, near the time she was allegedly raped, she told the Washington Post about it.
She looks a bit like Feinstein. Same eyes.
that would be ‘outside sales’ to the non-pc crowd. Either walked the sidewalks or dialed for dollars from home.
And never warned the young innocent shy virgins not to drink the punch. If any of this is true, then her being an adult should be behind bars for being a party to this.
Thanks. I was trying to regroup the terms to figure out possible alternate meanings.
Bottom line they called them engineers. Internal to company ops, not a problem.
‘Alcohol fueled parties where women were being mistreated?’
Right..
More like: alcohol fueled parties where serial statutory rapists, older adult women, where taking advantage of minors and younger men, and engaged in sex with multiple partners simultaneously. Swetnick is several year older than Kavanaugh.
I want to see an investigation on the dates in question, and the ages of the Kids she had sex with.
Same with Ford. Apparently she did not go to college right away and for many years kept attending parties, she bragged that by the time she started college she had slept with 64 men. How many of them were underage? (While she was an adult).
I want them both arrested, and put on a list of sexual predators.
