She said she woke up naked in Swalwell\u2019s hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse. She said Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.<\/p>\n<p>Five years later, the woman said, she attended an April 2024 charity gala where Swalwell was honored. The woman, who no longer worked for Swalwell, said they met for drinks afterward, during which she became so inebriated that she remembers only snippets of the night, including pushing Swalwell away and telling him, \u201cNo,\u201d while he allegedly forced himself on her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The woman also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/04\/10\/us\/eric-swalwell-sexual-misconduct-allegations-invs\">told<\/a> CNN that in the second instance in April 2024, she was \u201cpushing\u201d Swalwell off of her and \u201csaying no,\u201d but he \u201cdidn\u2019t stop.\u201d The woman also told the outlet that in the first instance in 2019, \u201cshe woke up naked with him in a hotel room after a night of heavy drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">\u201cThree other women\u201d also told the outlet about \u201calleged various kinds of sexual misconduct\u201d by Swalwell.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"\/>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepSwalwell\/status\/2042800069334962405\">post<\/a> on X, Swalwell shared a video in which he called the allegations of sexual assault \u201cflat false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are absolutely false,\u201d Swalwell said. \u201cThey did not happen.
