Lonna Drewes accuses Eric Swalwell of rape and drugging her drink

Another woman on Tuesday accused Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) of rape, after a slew of sexual misconduct claims made against the congressman led him to suspend his California gubernatorial campaign and announce he will resign from office.

Lonna Drewes said she met Swalwell socially in 2018, when she said she was a model in California and running a fashion software company. She encountered him at two public events as “friends,” Drewes said during a press conference in Beverly Hills. At their third encounter, Drewes alleged that Swalwell drugged, raped, and choked her in his hotel room.
