Rep. Nancy Mace Accuses Ex-Fiancé and Associates of Rape and Abuse in House Speech

In a dramatic House floor speech, Rep. Nancy Mace accused her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, and three associates of engaging in rape, voyeurism, and other sexual misconduct against her and at least a dozen other women. Mace claimed to have uncovered over 10,000 videos and images of nonconsensual acts, asserting that these men filmed their victims without consent, including underage girls. She expressed frustration over the lack of action from South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, suggesting political motivations for his inaction as he is a potential opponent in her gubernatorial run in 2026. Mace's allegations included details of her own assault and a call for accountability, stating, 'I will burn this system to the ground if I have to.' In response, Wilson's office labeled Mace's claims about his office's actions as 'categorically false' and asserted that they had not received any related reports. Bryant vehemently denied the allegations and indicated his willingness to cooperate with legal processes to clear his name.
