(CNN) — The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said on Saturday it is investigating an allegation of sexual assault against Rep. Eric Swalwell, a day after CNN reported that a former staffer for the congressman accused him of having sex with her when she was unable to consent.
“We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373,” the DA’s office said in a statement to CNN. “Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner.”
The former staffer told CNN that she was heavily intoxicated after a night of drinking with Swalwell in New York City in April 2024 when she woke up to him having sex with her in his hotel bed.
“I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” the woman told CNN of the incident, which she said happened after she had stopped working in Swalwell’s office. “He didn’t stop.”
The woman was one of four who described allegations of misconduct by Swalwell, who is running for California governor.
Swalwell had denied the allegations in a statement to CNN and in a video he posted to social media Friday evening. The congressman said in a statement that “these allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the front-runner for governor.”
“For nearly 20 years, I have served the public – as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women. I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action,” he said.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
