Kavanaugh accuser has 'psychological' problems, likes group sex, says former Democratic candidate
A former Democratic candidate for Congress has raised new questions about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser Julie Swetnick's credibility by saying she has "psychological" problems.
Dennis Ketterer, a former weatherman for WJLA Channel 7 in Washington, sent a signed statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday claiming that Swetnick had psychological problems and liked to engage in sexual intercourse with more than one male partner at the same time.
Ketterer had a relationship with Swetnick in the early 1990s.
“During a conversation about our sexual preferences, things got derailed when Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time,” Ketterer told the committee in a letter. “She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship.”
Ketterer said that Swetnick told him that the first time she engaged in sexual intercourse with multiple men at the same time was in high school.

Swetnick, the third women to come out with accusations against Kavanaugh, alleged that she was gang raped in high school at a party. She said Kavanaugh was present at the party and that she also saw Kavanaugh engaging in aggressive behavior toward girls at these parties. Kavanaugh has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
“Julie never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will,” Ketterer said. “She never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity.”
He said that when he was running for Congress in 1996 he called Swetnick’s father to try and get back in contact with her to ask for her help with the campaign.
“When I talked to him about possibly bringing [Julie Swetnick] on to help with my campaign, he told me that she had psychological and other problems at the time,” Ketterer said.
Ketterer submitted his statement to the committee under penalty of felony if he is lying.
Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing Swetnick, said that the letter from Ketterer is “desperate” and called on the FBI to interview both Ketterer and Swetnick.
“The letter from Dennis Ketterer is garbage — the GOP is desperate. The allegations he makes are false and without any basis,” Avenatti tweeted. “We demand that the FBI interview my client & him, and that anyone found to have submitted false info be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Avenatti said he has a statement from a woman confirming some of Swetnick's claims.
“URGENT: Below please find an email just sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, together with a declaration from another witness who confirms a number of Ms. Swetnick's claims,” Avenatti tweeted Tuesday afternoon. “These women deserve to be heard & interviewed by the FBI before any vote on the nomination.”
The woman, whose name is blacked out in the statement, said she was friends with Kavanaugh’s first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, and Swetnick in high school.
“The house parties I attended were a common occurrence in the area,” the statement said. “I know of many instances during these house parties where Brett and Mark would drink excessively and be overly aggressive and verbally abusive towards girls.”
She also said she would witness Kavanaugh, and his friend Mark Judge, inappropriately touch girls and spike drinks at parties.
