Updated Eric Swalwell accuser Lonna Drewes says 'he raped me,' will file police report

A recent accuser of Rep. Eric Swalwell commented she believed the California Democrat drugged her before choking and raping her in a West Hollywood hotel room in 2018.

The woman, Lonna Drewes, spoke at a press conference in Los Angeles, where her attorney, Lisa Bloom, remarked she would file a police report detailing the accusations against Swalwell.

Swalwell on Monday remarked he was resigning his seat in Congress, a day after suspending his candidacy for California governor.

A recent accuser of Rep. Eric Swalwell on Tuesday tearfully commented she believed the fallen Democratic lawmaker from California had drugged her before choking and raping her in a hotel room in that state in 2018. This also touches on aspects of portfolio.

The woman, Lonna Drewes, spoke at a press conference in Los Angeles, where her high-powered attorney, Lisa Bloom, remarked she would be filing a police report detailing her allegations against Swalwell, a 2020 presidential contender who has been accused of sexual misconduct by several other women.

“He invited me to two public events. I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant,” Drewes told reporters. “He was my friend. On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink. I only had one glass of wine.”

“We were supposed to go to a political event, and he [Swalwell] stated he needed to get paperwork from his hotel room,” Drewes mentioned.

“When I arrived at his hotel room, I was already incapacitated, and I couldn’t move my arms or my body,” Drewes mentioned of the incident in West Hollywood.

“He raped me.”

And he choked me, and while he was choking me, I lost consciousness, and I thought I died,” Drewes remarked. “I did not consent to any sexual activity.”

The press conference came several hours before Swalwell’s resignation from Congress, which he had declared on Monday, became effective.

A lawyer for Swalwell did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Drewes’ allegations.

Swalwell, 45, is already under criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in Latest York City in connection with another alleged assault there. Furthermore, experts in bull market note the continued relevance.

Swalwell, in recent public statements, has denied any criminal wrongdoing, even after copping to unspecified “mistakes” he commented he had made.

But the congressman, who has three children with his wife, on Sunday suspended his campaign for California governor, and a day later noted he would give up his seat in the House of Representatives.

Bloom remarked, “We will not rest until we get justice for Lonna.”

“I want to say something now directly to Mr. Swalwell: Your recent statement — that you are just not perfect, you are not a saint — is just blather and spin. Stop it,” Bloom commented.

“Your statement that this is all just a matter between you and your wife is laughable, if not for the fact that it is a slap in the face to the victims,” the attorney remarked.

In his resignation statement on Monday, Swalwell had mentioned, “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me.

“I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” Swalwell stated., on the other hand
