Julie Swetnick is the third woman to publicly accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

In a sworn declaration released last week, Swetnick claimed she was gang raped at a high school party that Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, attended in the 1980s. She also accused Kavanaugh and Judge of sexual misconduct at other parties.

Swetnick's allegations have been treated less seriously than accusations against Kavanaugh from two other women: Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.

Here's what we know about Swetnick and her allegations against the Supreme Court nominee.

Who is Julie Swetnick?

In her sworn declaration, Swetnick identified herself as a resident of Washington, DC.

Swetnick, 55, graduated from Gaithersburg High School in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and attended Montgomery College, a community college in the area, according to The Washington Post.

She's the child of government bureaucrats. Her father worked on the lunar orbiter for NASA and her mother was a geologist at the Atomic Energy Commission, The Post reported.

Swetnick is a web developer and has held multiple security clearances doing work for various government agencies.

Swetnick's sworn declaration, which was made public by her attorney Michael Avenatti, says she attended "well over" 10 parties where Kavanaugh and Judge were present during the early 1980s.
