Despite Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony Thursday that she was "100 percent" certain it was Brett Kavanaugh who assaulted her when they were both in high school 35 years ago, attorney Margaret Valois — who specializes in sexual assault cases among college students— still believes Ford's charge against the Supreme Court nominee is dealing a case of mistaken identity.

"I don't think she can be certain that it was Judge Kavanaugh," said Valois, who first advanced the "mistaken identity" theory with Newsmax a week ago.

"How can she be certain if she cannot address the other circumstances with certainty—location, date, time, and the other people involved?" Valois told us.

Lynchburg, Virginia, lawyer Valois' speciality is Title IX (the law guaranteeing equality between males and females). She spoke to Newsmax shortly after Ford was repeatedly questioned before the Senate Judiciary Committee on whether she was certain her assailant was Kavanaugh, and she replied with certainty, it was.
