Another woman accusing Swalwell of sexual misconduct to speak in Southern California

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (KGO) — A new person is coming forward on Tuesday morning to accuse Congressman Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct.

She’s planning a news conference with her attorney at 9:30 a.m. in Beverly Hills, California.

On Monday, Swalwell said he will step down from his seat after 13 years. The announcement came just as the ‘House Ethics Committee’ launched an investigation into the 45-year-old Congressman’s actions.

The decision caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker, who had been seen as one of the leading candidates in California’s gubernatorial race before dropping out Sunday after the allegations surfaced, claims he has continued to deny.

The San Francisco Chronicle, followed by CNN, first reported allegations that Swalwell had sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him. CNN also reported that three other women alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by Swalwell – including sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said on social media. “I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”

On Tuesday, there was anger, shock and plenty of disappointment felt among constituents across political lines throughout Swalwell’s district in the Bay Area.

“He’s a complete dirtbag,” one person said.

“I was considering voting for him, but now I just really disappointed,” another said.
