Democrats have been calling on the FBI to investigate a woman’s claim that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both in high school.
What they’re asking for, though, isn’t a criminal investigation that could lead to charges. Instead, they want the FBI to examine Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations, which Kavanaugh denies, to determine whether they are credible enough to cast doubt on Kavanaugh’s fitness for office.
Whatever the FBI does, the prospect of criminal charges being filed against Kavanaugh appear very unlikely, legal experts say. If a crime had taken place, it would almost certainly fall under local jurisdiction, not federal.
That means it would fall under the laws of Montgomery County, Maryland, where the statute of limitations would seem to preclude charges. A look at the factors affecting the likelihood of criminal charges.
