A woman said Friday she was raped by Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) in a “premeditated and aggressive” assault in 2000, while they both were undergraduate students at Duke University.

Through her attorney, Meredith Watson said she shared her account of sexual assault immediately after it happened with several classmates, who have provided statements. Her lawyer also said she shared her account with friends in a string of emails and Facebook messages.

Watson was friends with Fairfax at Duke but they never dated or had any romantic relationship, her lawyer said.

2nd case - he is done
Take the spot light away from the Governor, and he will dig in hard.

No it is where society begins to hold people to account, in particular societies views on rape have changed

This occurred in 2000, but the US is also in the midst of how to address sexual assault on Campuses. Why they are not referred to police is mind boggling.

Is it just a coincidence that just before this story broke, Northam dug his heels in and said he's not going to resign?

Northam needs to go, to. IF this has a ring of truth and Fairfax resigns, Virginia will be be led to healing and moving forward to get past this by Northam. He is incapable of leading and Virginia will need it more than ever.
But Northam doesn't care about what's best for Virginia. He is only concerned with his own political future.

This was after this rape allegedly occurred, but Obama's policies put jurisdiction in the hands of colleges and universities and shifted processing sexual assault crimes to tribunals, effectively circumventing the legal system.

I was wondering if there were more out there. Leopards don't change their spots. Telling her classmates at the time is the death nail. He is Toast!

I don’t agree. Are the friends she supposedly told about This at the time the same as your references in your resume? If you’re making an allegation 5 days later you had plenty of time to come up with some veneer of credibility. Also remember Christine Blasey Ford claimed all kinds of witnesses her FBI friend tried to intimidate who still didn’t confirm her story

Obama was not President at the time.

I don’t want them to resign. The democrats love to force their own to resign and then make up BS claims against republicans and point to their members they forced out and say “look how we hold our own accountable” i want Fairfax and Northam to deny these people that argument

Well if she did tell people at the time and they are willing to swear under oath its pretty damning.

Rape has never been accepted in society.

Isn't it just too coincidental that all three allegations came out within one week's time? I think the republicans are getting seriously panicked and are reaching for things that happened 30 years ago. I don't think they should resign either.

Did anyone swear under oath in the Kavanaugh case?

I swear under oath.... means pretty much nothing. Her claim is non falsifiable, she can lie about every comma in her accusation and it cannot be proven. Under oath only really matters if the claim can be falsified

Why are the republicans panicked? This is entirely the Democrats scandal. And let’s not forget the only reason this is now an issue is because of the false campaign against Judge K

They're panicked because all their dirty secrets are about to be uncovered by the 7 different investigations that the House is commencing.

Not what I posted.

You said views on rape were changing. That is not true. This society has never viewed rape any differently. What is changing is democrats trying to repeal the constitution and impose socialism and thus the destruction of due process and constitutional rights. Some of these College tribunals might as well be the French Revolutionary tribunals Robespierre used to send people to the Guillitine

The investigations are going nowhere. They have nothing to find and Trump can simply refuse to cooperate and assert executive privilege. The various crimes of Obama went nowhere either as far as House committees

Juanita Broaddrick

But but but Hillary defends her husband. Juanita Broaddrick must have been lying. Surely Hillary champions the rights of women.
