Nonconsensual sex, or rape, often needs to rely on testimonial evidence as well as DNA evidence, medical exams, and such. At least one of the victims has some such evidence. We don't know if the victim intends to press legal charges against Eric Swalwell or not but the Manhattan DA has opened an investigation and has opened a line of communication for the victim. Eric Swalwell through his lawyers has attempted to keep this victim silent and has also threatened to file defamation charges against her. People who know Eric Swalwell and the victims are taking these allegations seriously.

This is not just chatter, or a smear campaign. This is a serious matter and it needs to be taken seriously.
