Beverly Hills Woman Alleges Eric Swalwell Violently Assaulted Her in 2018

A Beverly Hills woman, Lonna Drewes, alleges that Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell raped and choked her during a 2018 hotel encounter, claiming she was drugged and unconscious; Swalwell’s attorney denies the accusations as false and politically motivated, following earlier reports of other women’s accounts and Swalwell’s resignation from Congress, with a special election to fill his seat and primary races already underway for the governor’s contest.
