Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of "targeting vulnerable girls" at high school parties in the 1980s.

In a declaration statement posted on Twitter by her lawyer Michael Avenatti, Julie Swetnick became the third woman to make sexual misconduct allegations against Mr Kavanaugh since Donald Trump nominated him in July.

She claimed to have witnessed the District of Columbia appeals judge "consistently engage in excessive drinking" during the socials, and that he was "abusive and physically aggressive" towards young women in attendance.

Mr Kavanaugh was said to have been involved in co-operative efforts with other males to spike drinks in a bid to have girls "lose their inhibitions and their ability to say no", causing them to become "inebriated and disorientated so they could then be gang raped in a side room or bedroom".

Ms Swetnick alleged that she became victim to one such assault in "approximately 1982", which she said Mr Kavanaugh was present for.

The parties were said to have taken place in the Washington DC area between 1981 and 1983.

Mr Avenatti – who also represents porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal battle with Mr Trump over an alleged affair she claims to have been paid to keep quiet about – said he and Ms Swetnick were demanding "an immediate FBI investigation into the allegations".
