Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In an emotional speech before the House, Rep. Nancy Mace accused her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant, and three associates of sexual exploitation, including physical abuse and non-consensual recordings. Mace's claims stem from a discovery made in late 2023, where she found evidence of such crimes on Bryant’s phone. She stated the South Carolina Attorney General, Alan Wilson, delayed investigations, further igniting discourse regarding the handling of sexual abuse cases. Amid calls for accountability, Mace’s allegations expose systemic failures in addressing sexual crimes. Bryant and the others have denied the accusations, and an investigation by SLED is currently underway.
