The chief of police in Montgomery County, Md., says his officers are not looking into sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, appearing to contradict a local news report that "investigators" were looking at a potential second high school misconduct allegation.
"I have spoken with my chief of detectives, and neither of us have any knowledge of anyone coming forward to us to report any allegations involving Judge Kavanaugh," police Chief J. Thomas Manger told the Washington Examiner in an email.
The Montgomery County Sentinel reported Monday that "Montgomery County investigators" were "looking at" a " potential second sexual assault complaint" dating from Kavanaugh's senior year the Georgetown Prep high school "after an anonymous witness came forward this weekend."
The local publication did not identify the "investigators" as police, but ordinarily county police would investigate an alleged crime before a decision on whether to prosecute.
The Montgomery County Sentinel reported that the allegation "would potentially bring the number to four women accusing Kavanaugh of wrongdoing."
The initial allegation against Kavanaugh was made by California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, who is likely to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week about Kavanaugh allegedly attempting to forcibly remove her clothes when she was 15 and he was 17.
