The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing a criminal case against former Rep. Eric Swalwell over allegations that he drugged, raped, and choked Beverly Hills woman Lonna Drewes in 2018, but no charging decision has been made.
According to multiple reports, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau is still in the early stages of investigating the allegations, which were first made public in April 2026 when Drewes accused Swalwell of drugging, sexually assaulting, and choking her during a July 2018 encounter in a West Hollywood hotel room.
Swalwell resigned from Congress in April.
In August, The Daily Mail reported, FBI agents confronted Swalwell with a search warrant when he landed at San Francisco Airport on Saturday. They then took the former congressman’s electronic devices, including his cell phone, reportedly as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Per the Standard, the warrant was issued under federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 242.
Swalwell is being accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct and assault, a lengthy prison sentence appears firmly on the table should he be convicted.
