Join Voices From the Edge guest host Linda Olson-Osterlund as she talks about President Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, who is being accused of sexually and physically assaulting a 15-year-old girl at a party during his high school years.

Palo Alto University psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford alleges that Kavanaugh and another Georgetown Prep student, Mark Judge, locked her in a room during a party in 1982. She says Kavanaugh then held her down, covered her mouth and tried to remove her clothes in what her lawyer has called an "attempted rape." 

"But fortunately, we had a good saying that we've held firm to, to this day, as the dean was reminding me before the talk, which is, 'What happens at Georgetown Prep, stays at Georgetown Prep.' That's been a good thing for all of us, I think."  The Supreme Court nominee made the remark in a 2015 speech at Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law, which he said was the alma mater of three of his friends. Kavanaugh said the trio had also been classmates when he attended Catholic high school at Georgetown Prep.
