Swalwell Accuser Claims Dem Drugged, Choked, And Raped Her

A 5th woman on Tuesday accused disgraced Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of sexual assault, alleging the lawmaker drugged her drink and raped her in Southern California. 

Lonna Drewes, a model who also owned a fashion software company in Beverly Hills, explained at a Tuesday press conference with her attorneys that she had contact with Swalwell in 2018 on three separate occasions. 

“I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant. He was my friend,” Drewes said. “On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink.” 

During their third meeting, Drewes said she only had one glass of wine. She went with Swalwell to his hotel room for “paperwork” he claimed to need — and by the time they arrived at his hotel room, she had become incapacitated and unable to move her body.

“He raped me, and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness,” Drewes said at the press conference. “And I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity.” 

Drewes said she did not immediately seek a rape kit but documented the alleged assault in her handwritten calendar and later discussed it during therapy sessions at a sexual assault center in Connecticut.

“My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power, his background as an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties,” Drewes said, adding that she will soon be making a formal report to law enforcement.

Swalwell did not immediately respond to the new accusation but has denied other claims of sexual assault as “absolutely false.”
