Sleazebag Rep. Eric Swalwell’s California Governor Campaign Implodes After Former Aide Accuses Him of Sexual Assault — Multiple Staff Resign
A former staffer has accused far-left California Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate in the race for governor, of sexual assault.
The woman, who worked in Swalwell’s office for nearly two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that he began contacting her shortly after she was hired at age 21.
She alleged the relationship escalated from private messages to physical encounters.
The accusation follows days of speculation that various women were preparing to come forward.
Politico reports that Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is already imploding as a result of the allegations, with multiple staff resigning in anticipation of the Chronicle’s story.
According to her account, Swalwell sent explicit messages and later initiated sexual contact during work-related travel.
She claims two incidents amounted to sexual assault, alleging she was too intoxicated to consent.
Swalwell has denied the allegations, with his legal team even issuing a cease-and-desist letter accusing the woman of making “false statements” and warning of possible legal action.
“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” he said.
“For nearly 20 years, I have served the public — as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.
”I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action.”

The woman alleged that in 2019, after a night of drinking, she woke up in Swalwell’s hotel room with signs of sexual activity she could not recall consenting to.
She also described a second alleged incident in April 2024 after meeting Swalwell at a charity event where he took advantage of her while severely intoxicated.
In messages reviewed by the Chronicle, she later wrote she had been “sexually assaulted” and had “blacked out.”
“I woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point,” she wrote.
Eric Swalwell has taken a page out of the Trump playbook by attempting to silence women. Today we learned he is intimidating survivors, serving cease and desist letters on those coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and abuse.

The Chronicle reported that a friend and her then-boyfriend said she appeared disoriented the next morning. Medical records show she later sought pregnancy and STD testing.
Swalwell, who has served in Congress since 2013, is a leading candidate for California governor. He has also denied separate allegations circulating online, calling them false.
A notorious sleazebag, Swalwell has a history of eroticizing violence against women and once had an affair with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
