  Amid the flurry of new accusations alleging sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, it can be hard to stay up to date on who’s said what.

  So here’s what happened. On Monday, Jeff Catalan of Newport, Rhode Island, called the office of his US senator, Sheldon Whitehouse, “making allegations concerning a rape on a boat in August of 1985,” according to a transcript of a phone call between committee staff members and Kavanaugh released on Wednesday.

  Catalan alleged that in 1985, “a close acquaintance of the constituent was sexually assaulted by two heavily inebriated men she referred to at the time as Brett and Mark,” CNN reported, citing the transcript noting that the incident allegedly took place on a boat in Newport harbor. When Catalan’s friend learned of the assault, “he and another individual went to the harbor, located the boat the victim had described and physically confronted the two men, leaving them with significant injuries,” the report notes.
