Trump calls on Kavanaugh accuser to present police report

WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump suggested Friday that if Christine Blasey Ford had been sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh when they were both in high school that charges would've been filed against him.

That claim runs contrary to the fact that most sexual assault victims do not report the incidents.

Trump called on Blasey Ford to come forward with charges that might have been filed at the time.

"I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents," Trump tweeted. "I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!"

Ford told the Washington Post that she didn't discuss the incident with anyone in any detail until a 2012 therapy session with her husband.
