Eric Swalwell on Tuesday, claiming the California Democrat drugged and raped her after he offered to help her career in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell announced Sunday that he would be\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-suspends-campaign-california-governor\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ending his campaign<\/a><\/span> for governor of California and said Monday he\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-resigning-congress\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">planned to resign<\/a><\/span>\u00a0from Congress. Swalwell has called the prior allegations against him &#8220;false&#8221; and suggested they were politically motivated to hurt his gubernatorial bid.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, who identified herself as Lonna Drewes at the news conference with her attorneys in Beverly Hills, said Swalwell had invited her to a political event but they ended up at his hotel room because he said he needed to get paperwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe he drugged my drink. I only had one glass of wine,&#8221; Drewes said. &#8220;When I arrived at his hotel room, I was already incapacitated, and I couldn&#8217;t move my arms or my body.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He raped me and he choked me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness and I thought I died.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drewes said she did not get a rape kit and but disclosed the alleged assault to the people closest to her and recorded the events in her handwritten calendar. She said she also talked about the alleged rape during her therapy sessions at a sexual assault center in Connecticut. She said the delay in taking action was &#8220;driven by fear&#8221; of his political power and background as an attorney.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It had a profound impact on my mental health,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I self-medicated in an unhealthy way.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drewes said she had met Swalwell twice before the third encounter in which the alleged rape occurred and he had offered her connections to help with her software company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was my friend,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drewes&#8217; attorney, Lisa Bloom, said they planned to immediately file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff&#8217;s Department. Drewes suggested she came forward now to &#8220;stand with the other women who have come forward.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News has reached out to Swalwell&#8217;s attorney for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Several women have come forward in recent days after the San Francisco Chronicle published an account from a former staffer who<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/politics\/article\/eric-swalwell-allegations-22198271.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> alleged<\/a> the California Democrat sexually assaulted her twice when she was too intoxicated to consent. Two women who accused Swawell of sexual misconduct, Annika Albrecht and Ally Sammarco,<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/annika-albrecht-ally-sammarco-cheyenne-hunt-eric-swalwell-interview\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> told CBS News<\/a><\/span> that Swalwell allegedly sent them unsolicited explicit messages on Snapchat. A feature of the popular messaging app is that chats and photos automatically disappear soon after they&#8217;re sent.<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell&#8217;s decisions regarding his political future came as he started<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-sexual-assault-allegations\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> shedding support<\/a><\/span> from House Democratic leadership and key members of his party, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat. He <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-house-ethics-committee\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">faced an investigation<\/a><\/span> by the House Ethics Committee and an effort to expel him from the lower chamber. The Manhattan District Attorney&#8217;s Office also confirmed Sunday that it is<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-new-york-sexual-assault-allegations-investigation\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> investigating sexual assault allegations<\/a><\/span> against Swalwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The accusations against Swalwell have reverberated across Capitol Hill. About an hour after the Democratic congressman announced he would step down, Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas said he would be stepping down.<strong> <\/strong>Gonzales was also at center of a push to expel him from the House after it was revealed he<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/texts-rep-tony-gonzales-staffer-who-died-by-suicide\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> sent sexually explicit<\/a><\/span><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tony-gonzales-aide-affair-texts-death-by-suicide\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> text messages<\/a><\/span> to a staffer who later died by suicide. Gonzales admitted last month to the affair and ended his reelection campaign under pressure from House GOP leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eric-swalwell-accuser-drug-rape-allegations\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington \u2014 Another woman came forward with allegations against Rep.
