“I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone,” Kavanaugh said Monday. “I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter … The girls from the schools I went to, and I, were friends.”

“Through all these years that were in question, you were a virgin?” MacCallum asked.

“That’s correct,” Kavanaugh replied, noting that he did not have intercourse until “many years after” college.

Kavanaugh and Ford are both scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
