The Manhattan court system is currently investigating Representative Eric Swalwell for sexual assault. Since he resigned, a second woman has come forward to say he raped her.
Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman has confirmed that former California Rep. Eric Swalwell is under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct, following a new accusation from Lonna Drewes, a former model and fashion technology entrepreneur.
Drewes, speaking at a press conference, claimed that in 2018, she met Swalwell socially, was offered business connections, and then met him again at a hotel where he drugged her, choked her, and raped her
“While he was choking me, I lost consciousness, and I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity”
