I was introduced to them at a house party that I attended in the Washington, DC. area. I observed Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh as extremely close friends during the early 19803 when I knew them and interacted with them. I would describe them as ?joined at the hip? and I consistently saw them together in many social settings. There is no question in my mind that Mark Judge has significant information concerning the conduct -1 DECLARATION OF JULIE SWETNICK Brett Kavanaugh during the 1980s, especially as it relates to his actions toward women. 7. Following that ?rst introduction, I attended well over ten house parties in the Washington, DC. area during the years 1981-1983 where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. These parties were a common occurrence in the area and occurred nearly every weekend during the school year. On numerous occasions at these parties, I witnessed Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh drink excessively and engage in highly inappropriate conduct, including being overly aggressive with girls and not taking ?No? for an answer. This conduct included the fondling and grabbing of girls without their consent. 8. I observed Brett Kavanaugh drink excessively at many of these parties and engage in abusive and physically aggressive behavior toward girls, including pressing girls against him without their consent, ?grinding? against girls, and attempting to remove or shift girls? clothing to expose private body parts. I likewise observed him be verbally abusive towards girls by making crude sexual comments to them that were designed to demean, humiliate and embarrass them. I often witnessed Brett Kavanaugh speak in a demeaning manner about girls in general as well as speci?c girls by name. I also witnessed Brett Kavanaugh behave as a ?mean drunk? on many occasions at these parties. 2 i 9. I have been told by other women that this conduct also occurred during the Summer months in Ocean City, Maryland on numerous occasions. I also witnessed such conduct on one occasion in Ocean City, Maryland during ?Beach Week.? ?10. I have reviewed Brett Kavanaugh?s recent claim on Fox News regarding his alleged ?innocence? during his high school years and lack of sexual activity. This claim is absolutely false and a lie. I witnessed Brett Kavanaugh consistently engage in excessive drinking and inappropriate contact of a sexual nature with women during the early 19803. -2- DECLARATION OF JULIE SWETNICK 11. During the years 1981-82, I became aware of efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to ?spike? the ?punch? at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say This caused me to make an effort to purposely avoid the ?punch? at these parties. I witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to ?target? particular girls so they could be taken advantage of; it was usually a girl that was especially vulnerable because she was alone at the party or shy. 12. I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be ?gang raped? in a side room or bedroom by a ?train? of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ?turn? with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh. 13. In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these ?gang? or ?train? rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people. During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to ?ght off the boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking. 14. I am aware of other witnesses that can attest to the truthfulness of each of the statements above. I declare, under penalty of perjury and under the laws of the United States of America, that the foregoing is true and correct. I have executed this declaration on September 25, 2018.
