Overview
- More than a dozen women told CNN the former congressman made them uncomfortable in person and online over the past decade.
- Several women said he sent unsolicited nude photos and explicit Snapchat videos, including masturbation clips that showed his face, with one woman saving the files and showing them to CNN.
- Swalwell’s attorney denied any nonconsensual sexual misconduct and acknowledged extramarital contact, describing the interactions as routine and non-contentious.
- The allegations followed earlier reports of in-person incidents, and the fallout led him to resign from Congress and suspend his California governor bid in April.
- Swalwell had promoted Snapchat in 2016 as a way to connect with voters, and interviews describe him later using the app for flirty exchanges with younger women.
