The lady from Kentucky, Judy Munro-Leighton, penned an anonymous letter claimging to be a lady from Oceanside, CA who was raped by Kavanaugh and a friend of his in the back seat of a car (if I have the details correct). She wasted the Senate Judiciary Committee's time and resources to investigate the bogus claim.
She, as you know, fessed up to making it all up. The problem was it wasted people's time and resources, and I think there was some low'ish level circulating of the story at the time:
Also on Tuesday, the Committee received an anonymous letter sent to California Sen. Kamala Harris, which was postmarked 9/19 and alleged that Judge Kavanaugh and others raped the author in the backseat of a car. However, the letter did not identify place, date, or the identity of the alleged accomplices, and was signed "Jane Doe, Oceanside, CA."
That quoted piece was typical of the reporting at the time, but found some legs in the online discussions surrounding Kavanaugh, resulting in him just being called a rapist.
