Overview

  • Nancy Mace accused her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant and three other South Carolina men of rape, assault, and filming women without consent during a 53-minute House floor speech.
  • Mace claimed she discovered thousands of videos and photos of alleged assaults on Bryant's phone, including non-consensual recordings of herself and other women, some of whom were underage.
  • The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division confirmed it has been investigating Bryant since December 2023, though all four men named by Mace have denied the allegations.
  • Mace harshly criticized South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, accusing him of failing to act on her evidence; Wilson's office denied receiving any reports or requests related to her claims.
  • The speech, delivered with the protection of the House's speech and debate clause, has drawn significant attention as Mace considers a 2026 gubernatorial run in South Carolina.
