WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual misconduct by a second woman, while a prominent lawyer says he represents a third woman who may come forward this week.

In a story published by The New Yorker Sunday, a woman named Deborah Ramirez said she was attended a party during the 1983-84 academic year at Yale University, which was Kavanaugh's first year on campus.

While at that party, Ramirez says Kavanaugh exposed himself and thrust his penis in her face, causing her to touch it without her consent. Ramirez says she pushed Kavanaugh away during the incident.

In The New Yorker article, Ramirez says she was hesitant to come forward with the claim "partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident."

The story went on to say that Ramirez decided to come forward after "six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections."

The New Yorker reached out to Ramirez after it learned of a possible incident involving her and Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh has denied the claim through a statement released by The White House saying the accusation was "a smear, plain and simple."

Soon after the article was released, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represents adult-film star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits with President Donald Trump said he is representing a woman who also says she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh. Avenatti said the woman is not Ramirez and she will come forward and reveal her identity this week.

Avenatti said his client is willing to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and can provide a list of witnesses.

All of this comes as the initial accuser, Christine Blasey Ford prepares to testify before the committee on Thursday. Ford alleges that Kavanaugh assaulted her while they were at a party together as teenagers.

Kavanaugh plans to turn over calendars from the summer of the alleged incident which he claims show no such party was on his agenda at the time of the alleged incident, according to The New York Times.
