Former employer sued third Kavanaugh accuser for ‘false and retaliatory' sexual harassment allegations

Rew Kerr, DCNF. Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in high school, faced allegations from her former employer that she engaged in "Unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct" in 2000.

WebTrends alleged in a lawsuit that, after the company determined she had engaged in "Inappropriate conduct," Swetnick made "False and retaliatory allegations" of sexual harassment against two male co-workers.

The woman who charges she was gang-raped at a party where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was present, Julie Swetnick, had a lawsuit filed against her by a former employer that alleged she engaged in "Unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct" towards two male co-workers, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

WebTrends conducted an investigation that found both male employees gave similar accounts of Swetnick engaging in "Unwelcome sexual innuendo and inappropriate conduct" toward them during a business lunch in front of customers, the complaint said.

Swetnick denied the allegations and, WebTrends alleged, "In a transparent effort to divert attention from her own inappropriate behavior [made] false and retaliatory allegations" of sexual harassment against two other male co-workers.

"Based on its investigations, WebTrends determined that Swetnick had engaged in inappropriate conduct, but that no corroborating evidence existed to support Swetnick's allegations against her coworkers," the complaint said.

After a WebTrends human resources director informed Swetnick that the company was unable to corroborate the sexual harassment allegations she had made, she "Remarkably" walked back the allegations, according to the complaint.
