(CNN) — A woman has come forward with new allegations about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, accusing him of inappropriate behavior while he was in high school. The allegations come from Julie Swetnick, who attended Gaithersburg High School in Maryland.
Swetnick said she attended “well over ten” parties where Kavanaugh was present and saw him “drink excessively at many of these parties and engage in abusive and physically aggressive behavior towards girls, including pressing girls against him without their consent, ‘grinding’ against girls and attempting to remove or shift girls’ clothing to expose private body parts. ”
Swetnick made her allegations in a sworn statement that was given to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Her statement includes a series of other serious allegations that CNN has not yet been able to corroborate.
Swetnick is being represented by high-profile attorney Michael Avenatti, who called his client “courageous, brave and honest.”
He also asked that her privacy and the privacy of her family be respected.
Avenatti also represents porn star Stormy Daniel’s in her defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims she had sex once with Trump in 2006 and carried on a platonic relationship with him for about a year.
