""My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power, his background as an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties.""
"Swalwell, who is married with three young children, has vigorously denied engaging in sexual misconduct but has apologized for 'mistakes in judgment.'"
Lonna Drewes accused Rep. Eric Swalwell of raping her in a West Hollywood hotel room in 2018, alleging he drugged her. She expressed fear of his political influence and legal background as reasons for her delayed action. Swalwell's resignation from Congress was announced shortly after the allegations surfaced. He had previously suspended his gubernatorial campaign amid other accusations of sexual misconduct from multiple women. Swalwell has denied the allegations but acknowledged making mistakes in judgment.
