Reason #8 - she can’t state the time or place this occurred. Not only is this quite unbelievable, it seems specifically calculated to prevent Kavanaugh from being able to put forth alibi evidence. Since this didn’t happen, she can’t put forth a time or place because then it’s possible Kavenaugh could show he was somewhere else or witnesses could possibly be located. So she claims she can’t remember these details in order to make the story impossible to rebut or verify.
The story, which could be based on some hazy memory, or could be an outright fabrication, has most certainly been embellished in order to be far more salatious, attractive to the #MeToo -ers, and to be far more damaging to Kavanaugh.
My husband (lawyer) pointed out that she’s actually alleging kidnapping here as well as attempted rape and murder, all in this nice hazy package where all other details are murky an irrefutable. No location, no date, 1 witness whose book this may in fact be based on.
The fact is, a makeout session gone bad just didn’t seem bad enough - so the rest of this crap was scripted up. Including:
1- a “locked” door
2- a kidnapping (forcing her into room against will)
3- possibility of “inadvertant” murder
4- the assumption of intended rape, when in fact many 15 years olds would have assumed no such thing, having never even been to 2nd base with a boy
Back in 1982, Ted Bundy was still in the news a lot. Rather than thinking “I can’t tell anybody, I don’t look like a rape/kidnap/potential murder victim” - a girl would have been thinking about Ted Bundy’s victims, and how to prevent other girls from being the next one to be victimized by this terrorizing duo of Judge & Kavanaugh.
She outs herself with her own ridiculous story, which doesn’t ring true with anything I experienced as a teenage girl 3 years behind her in the 80s.
Girls hanging out at “gatherings” like that didn’t need to be coerced into bedrooms or make out sessions with the captain of the basketball team - they were more than willing, or they wouldn’t be there. And group assaults like that are not common at all - I’m sure there are stats about that. A make out session gone bad is about the best a person can come up with to find parts of this believable - but then you lose your kidnapping and intent to rape, which is just what makes her tale so supposedly “compelling”.
