Regarding Kavanaugh, according to @Sage_Rat pushing a woman onto a bed grinding against her and trying to tear her clothes off against her will, might all just be a harmless non-sexual prank, or simple accident. So long as there wasn’t an actual criminal conviction its all good.
I don’t have the energy to pit this with the full vitriol that it deserves, so I will let his words speak for themselves.
For the record here is what Ford herself said about the encounter.
I was pushed onto the bed and Brett got on top of me. He began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me. I yelled, hoping someone downstairs might hear me, and tried to get away from him, but his weight was heavy. Brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes. He had a hard time because he was so drunk, and because I was wearing a one-piece bathing suit under my clothes. I believed he was going to rape me.
But maybe she was mistaken and he just accidentally fell against her.
