"I was already incapacitated and I couldn't move my arms or my body. He raped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me I lost consciousness and I thought I died."
"My delay in taking action was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power, his background as an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties. I have never doubted what happened."
Lonna Drewes, a former model and software engineer, has accused Eric Swalwell of drugging and raping her in 2018. After meeting several times, Drewes claims Swalwell invited her to his hotel room, where she became incapacitated. She asserts that she did not consent to any sexual activity and described the assault in detail. Drewes delayed reporting the incident due to fear of retaliation from Swalwell's political power and connections. Her allegations follow similar claims from other women, leading to Swalwell's resignation announcement shortly after her public statement.
