What we know about Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assault

A second woman came forward Sunday to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a decades-old sexual assault, the same day his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, committed to testifying about her own allegations before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. 

Here's what we know about Kavanaugh's second accuser, Deborah Ramirez, and her allegations: 

What Ramirez alleges

Ramirez alleged in an article in The New Yorker magazine that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party when they were both freshmen at Yale University.

According to Ramirez, she and Kavanaugh were among a small group of students playing a drinking game in a dorm room in the university's Lawrence Hall when the alleged incident occurred. 

Ramirez said the game quickly led to her intoxication. She recalls being on the floor and slurring her words when she alleges a male student exposed himself and shoved his penis in her face. She said she pushed the man away, touching him in the process. 

She alleged she remembered Kavanaugh pulling up his pants and laughing. 

Ramirez told The New Yorker the incident left her "embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated."
