In his column for ''Lidové noviny'' (Czech newspaper and online news site) published on 1 October 2018, Viewegh criticised Christine Blasey Ford's allegations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh on the grounds that "putting her in an empty room, groping her, covering her mouth while trying to undress her" was an "innocent high-school petting" and that he thanks God that he, as a pubescent, was free to grope his female schoolmates without endangering his future career, without any "North-American cow" complaining about it.<ref name="Lidovky.cz1">{{cite web |title=VIEWEGH: Děkuji, že jsem se narodil v zemi, kde jsem mohl na vrstevnice sáhnout |website=Lidovky.cz |url=https://www.lidovky.cz/lide/viewegh-ceska-suverenita.A180926_220316_lide_ele |date=1 October 2018}}</ref> He has been criticised in turn by criminologist Pavel Houdek in a published open letter, that his views are what makes victims of sexual abuse keep it to themselves. <ref name="Lidovky.cz2">{{cite web | title=Právník Houdek píše Vieweghovi: Přesně kvůli lidem, jako jste vy, oběti znásilnění mlčely |website=Lidovky.cz |url=https://www.lidovky.cz/nazory/pravnik-houdek-pise-vieweghovi-presne-kvuli-lidem-jako-jste-vy-obeti-znasilneni-mlcely.A181002_102800_ln_nazory_sk |date=2 October 2018}}</ref>
