RAINN Statement About Allegations Against Kavanaugh

Sep 17, 2018

Sexual assault is a crime, and every allegation should be thoroughly investigated. The allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford are very serious. The Senate Judiciary Committee has a responsibility to hear from both Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford before voting on his nomination.

History tells us that hearing allegations such as these often leads others to reach out for help. Free, confidential support is available 24/7 through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE and RAINN.org.

The rape kit backlog is currently one of the biggest obstacles to prosecuting perpetrators of sexual violence.

Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, 310 are reported to the police.
