As a Navy officer, I led an investigation into claims of sexual assault. Kavanaugh should be treated no differently than that sailor.
The latest allegation of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh raises serious questions about the legitimacy and completeness of the FBI investigation into the man now sitting on the Supreme Court.published a report on Saturday detailing a third, previously undisclosed, allegation against Kavanaugh. According to the article, a classmate at Yale University allegedly"saw Mr.

The men and women I served with in the military, like Kavanaugh at Yale, were young and experiencing the newfound freedom and responsibility that sometimes results in bad choices. As a good friend and retired Navy commander once told me,"In some cases, I was as old as their father, and they looked at me as such." But had this popular sailor engaged in something more sinister?
A female sailor told me that he had apparently stolen her personal contact info from the duty roster and began texting and messaging her on social media. At first, she said, she liked the attention from the sailor, who was senior to her, but as the communication turned to a sexual nature, she became alarmed. She told me she began to avoid him, but his advances only increased. He allegedly even put her on duty overnight, where he would"swing by" to check on her.

His behavior had been independently corroborated, as had parts of the claim. I believed the victim.
