Justin Fairfax accusers want Kavanaugh-style public hearings in Virginia

The two women accusing Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault want the Virginia General Assembly to hold hearings so they can publicly air out their claims much in the same way a hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh played out last year when he faced allegations of sexual misconduct during his confirmation process.

A statement from Meredith Watson’s laywer was released Monday evening as Fairfax, a Democrat, refuses to resign and has called for “due process for everyone involved” after Watson and California professor Vanessa Tyson came out in recent days to accuse him of sexual misconduct.
