The sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh don’t reflect typical

high school boy behavior, hormones or “horseplay,” as some have claimed.

Among those blaming gender, age and hormones is former Florida Republican congressional
candidate Gina Sosa, who said last week in a CNN interview: "We’re talking about a 17-year-old boy
in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me what boy hasn’t done this in high school,
please. I would like to know." Sosa recently placed last in the Florida GOP primary for the 27th
congressional district.

Sosa is referencing Christine Blasey Ford's letter accusing Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed, groping
her and attempting to pull off her clothes while both were high school students.

Brian Johnson, a child psychologist and professor at University of Northern Colorado, told USA
TODAY that the behavior Ford describes is not at all typical.

"If the allegations are true — and specific parts such as him holding her down, covering her mouth,
turning up music — those are not normal under any circumstance," Johnson said.
