https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/kavanaughs-accuser-deserves-a-fair-criminal-investigation/2018/09/19/c0605ec4-bc1a-11e8-97f6-0cbdd4d9270e_story.html?utm_term=.9dbc781ff891"For example, attempting a sexual assault with the aid of another person counts as attempted first-degree rape, just as restricting a victims breathing to stop her from shouting for help could fairly qualify as first-degree assault. Both are felonies with no statute of limitations in Maryland. Likewise, under Maryland law, using force to move a victim a short distance, even from one room to another, can amount to kidnapping, a crime that similarly has no limitations period. There are examples across the country where convictions for kidnapping have been upheld in cases where rapists took the victim just to a separate room to commit the crime."

it's late, as Thiru Vignarajah knows.
'Kavanaugh could have been charged as an adult back then with a range of offenses from assault to attempted rape.'
