Hours before Christine Blasey Ford is scheduled to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee that US President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school, a fourth woman has come forward to the panel.

The new allegations, submitted in the form of an anonymous complaint sent to Republican Senator Cory Gardner, were discussed with Kavanaugh on a call with Senate investigators. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation in the letter during the call, the report quoted sources as saying. According to the letter, Kavanaugh in inebriated condition physically assaulted a woman he socialised with in Washington in 1998. The sender of the complaint described an evening involving her own daughter, Kavanaugh and several friends in 1998.

"When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually. There were at least four witnesses, including my daughter," the letter stated. The writer said the alleged survivor was still traumatised and had decided to remain anonymous herself.

Sharing incident my civic duty: Blasey Ford
Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, said the incident drastically altered her life and she felt it was her "civic duty" to share her story about what happened to her 36 years ago. She said in a prepared testimony, which was then delivered at a high-profile hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, "It is not my responsibility to determine whether Mr Kavanaugh deserves to sit on the Supreme Court. My responsibility is to tell the truth," she said.
