Disturbing sex attack claims leveled against Eric Swalwell — as he issues furious denial
NY Post ^ | 4/10/26 | Annie Gaus

Posted on 04/10/2026 4:06:14 PM PDT by Libloather

A former staffer for Rep. Eric Swalwell has reportedly accused the congressman of sexual assault and taking advantage of her over the course of several years — allegations the Democratic frontrunner for California governor is denying as false and politically motivated.

The woman, who worked for Swalwell for nearly two years, said the most serious incident occurred in April 2024, when she alleges he sexually assaulted her after a charity gala in New York, according to a report published Friday by the San Francisco Chronicle.

The woman, who was not named in the story, said she became heavily intoxicated while drinking with Swalwell late into the night and has only fragmented memories of what followed. She recalled being in his hotel room, pushing him away and telling him “no” as he allegedly forced himself on her.

“I woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point,” she wrote in a text message to a friend days later, according to messages reviewed by the Chronicle.

The woman said she woke up the next morning disoriented, with vaginal bleeding and bruising, and believed she had been assaulted.

“There was no doubt in her mind … that Swalwell had forcibly had sex with her,” the Chronicle reported.

The bombshell allegations come as Swalwell’s lawyer sent a threatening letter to individuals accusing him of “nonconsensual sexual encounters” — warning that he could sue for defamation over rampant online rumors about alleged inappropriate behavior with women, according to a document posted online.

“The “It has come to our attention that you made false statements accusing Mr. Swalwell of sexual assault and nonconsensual sexual encounters,” read the letter from attorney Elias Dabaie, which was posted on X by Democratic activist Cheyenne Hunt and confirmed by the LA Times.

They are piling on now. I suspect Swalwell will suspend his campaign in the next few days.

The allegations are incredibly disturbing and unacceptable against Rep. Swalwell. We are immediately suspending our support. Our elected board will be meeting as soon as possible to follow our union’s democratic process to determine next steps.

>> women who go alone to a guy’s hotel room, get drunk and later claim harassment are simply not credible or sympathetic.

I do have sympathy for those that were overserved to such an extent that they actually FORGET to report the incident until YEARS after it happened! That’s really drunk!!! Or so my friends tell me. 😉

Now he can enjoy proving a negative. I have no idea if he is a sex pest. I do know he boinked a Chinese spy with no apparent remorse, and, accuses others of sexual evils that they have to prove the negative for. So if the shoe fits.

The Dems throwing Swalwell under the bus to prevent two Republicans being the top vote-getters is going to send the message to other potential candidates that their own party will throw them under the bus in the worst way if necessary.

Which then means the party will get candidates who are less and less capable.

Throwing Swalwell under the bus is cashing a one-time chip.

I know!

I’m hoping Swalwell will stand his ground and refuse to suspend his campaign.

A Repub would have already resigned this deep in the scandal.

The Republican candidates should make a big deal out of the essential corruption of the Dems. Whether it’s STEALING the State blind through massive FRAUD, or RAPING young women like Epstein wannabees, you can’t trust the Democrats.

Early and mail-in voting for the primary starts about May 5 in California. I bet Porter unleashed this to get Smallweed’s name completely off the ballot — be a shame if there wasn’t enough time and he still diluted the Dem’s votes.

Forget about dropping out of the Governors race, they are only doing this to make the Dem field less so they have a chance to win otherwise Hilton can become Governor..by the way, there is supposedly a sex tape between Fang fang and Swalwell and he also gave her classified intel relating to our military bases overseas, want to bet that is how Iran knew EXACTLY what bases to strike
