Kavanaugh who was just slammed with a sexual assault claim is now facing backlash from

The Allegation come from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who claims she was assaulted by
Kavanaugh at a party 36 years ago.(Click Here.) This allegation came on September 16th, close to the senate's vote on Kavanaugh, prompting some to wonder if this was a sham to delay the vote until midterms. Other people believe Dr. Ford and want an FBI investigation into the alleged incident. With these two sides battling you may see many people say "I Believe Her" which to many is troubling because it goes against one of the founding principles of our Justice system in America, innocent until proven guilty. This is not to say the alleged event did not happen but it is very important to remember with claims like these. False claims of rape are very damaging to the accused person as they can ruin their life and be labeled as a predator but this is in no way saying that all claims are false. In most cases the claims are true and with the #metoo movement being ever so powerful in our country you see more and more accusations everyday by woman who had been attacked and now are able to give themselves a voice.

So with these allegations dividing the nation, should we judge the character of
someone change because of something that may have happened over three
decades ago or do their actions stand the test of time as who they are?

Great question, JP. I guess my response it it depends upon the nature of the allegation. Check out Rachel and Katherine's posts for similar discussion.
