A friend of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, says Ford told her about the alleged incident last year.
Rebecca White, identified by local outlet The Mercury News as a friend and neighbor of Ford's, told the outlet that Ford spoke to her about an incident with a "federal judge" who "might be a contender for a Supreme Court position one day."
White said Ford reached out to her after she posted her own personal story about sexual assault under the hashtag #MeToo on her Facebook page in 2017.
"[Ford] reached out to me afterward, supporting me and my story and that she had something happen to her when she was really young and that the guy was a federal judge,†White told The Mercury News. “She said she had been assaulted. She said hers had been violent as well, physically scary, fighting for her life."
