A purported victim of Eric Swalwell has emerged with disturbing allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted her in a hotel room in 2018.
Lonna Drewes stated that she believed she had a friendship with the congressman, but alleged that he tampered with her drink before choking and assaulting her in West Hollywood.
Drewes provided evidence that includes text messages, photographs, and journal entries from that period and intends to escalate the claims to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
She claimed that Swalwell extended offers to connect her with people who could assist in advancing her software company and showed an interest in local politics.
According to the victim, they were supposed to attend a political event, but he mentioned that he needed to retrieve some paperwork from his hotel room.
When she arrived at his hotel room, she was already incapacitated, and she couldn’t move her arms over her body. He raped her, and he choked her. And while he was choking her, she lost consciousness.
Drewes stated that the incident had a significant effect on her mental health, and that she even resorted to unhealthy self-medication.
