Manhattan DA Investigates Sexual Assault Allegation Against Eric Swalwell
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is currently conducting an investigation into sexual assault allegations against Congressman Eric Swalwell. This news emerged shortly after a former staff member accused Swalwell of engaging in sexual activity without her consent.
Details of the Allegation
The former staffer, who spoke with CNN, alleged that the incident took place in April 2024. She claimed that she was heavily intoxicated following a night of drinking with Swalwell in New York City. The woman reported that she woke up to find Swalwell in bed with her, despite her attempts to push him away and verbally communicate her lack of consent.
Response from the Manhattan DA’s Office
- The DA’s office has encouraged survivors and witnesses to come forward.
- They provided a contact number for their Special Victims Division: 212-335-9373.
- The office emphasized that trained professionals are available to assist in a compassionate manner.
Allegations and Swalwell’s Rebuttal
In addition to this case, the former staffer is one of four individuals who have leveled misconduct allegations against Swalwell. As he campaigns for the governorship of California, Swalwell has publicly denied these claims. He stated that they are false and expressed concern that they appear to be strategically timed before elections.
Swalwell’s Statement
In a video and written statement, Swalwell asserted, “For nearly 20 years, I have served the public as a prosecutor and a congressman. I have always protected women.” He affirmed his intention to defend himself and mentioned the possibility of pursuing legal action if necessary.
