Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh says he was a virgin throughout high school and for “many years after” — a comment made as he defends himself against allegations of sexual misconduct in his teenage years.
“We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault. I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone,” Kavanaugh told Fox News in a precorded interview set to air in full Monday night. “I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter.”

Kavanaugh and wife Ashley, a Maryland suburb town manager, sat down with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum Monday after a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, came forward late Sunday to publicly accuse the judge of exposing himself to her during a Yale University party in the 1980s when they were undergraduates at the school.
The first woman to come forward, Christine Blasey Ford, alleges Kavanaugh drunkenly forced himself on her in 1982, when he would have been 17, at a Maryland high school house party.
Kavanaugh, who denies the allegations, gave the interview to the cable news network ahead of defending himself Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee as he seeks to be confirmed to the highest court in the country.
