Mace Takes to House Floor With Charges of Rape and Sexual Predation
Representative Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican who in recent weeks has floated a run for governor, on Monday night accused her former fiancé and three other men of having drugged and raped her and other women, and of filming and taking lewd photographs of women and underage girls without their consent.
In a stunningly graphic speech on the House floor that had little precedent, Ms. Mace said the men, whom she named and displayed photographs of on a placard where lawmakers more typically display charts and graphs on policy issues, were involved in the “premeditated, calculated exploitation of innocent women and girls in my district.”
“You’ve booked yourself a one-way ticket to hell,” she said, referring to the men directly at one point in a speech that lasted close to an hour. “It is nonstop. There are no connections. So I and all of your victims can watch you rot into eternity.”
On the floor of the House, Ms. Mace was protected by the speech and debate clause, even as she accused the men of repeatedly assaulting incapacitated women and filming it. She offered no evidence to support the accusations, although she said she had plenty of such material.
She refused to answer any follow-up questions from reporters outside the Capitol on Monday night and did not respond to a separate request to provide corroboration. The New York Times has not independently verified any of the allegations.
In a statement not long after Ms. Mace finished speaking, Patrick Bryant, the former fiancé whom she accused by name, denied her account.
“I categorically deny these allegations.,” he said. “I take this matter seriously and will cooperate fully with any necessary legal processes to clear my name.”
Ms. Mace has long made her personal trauma part of her political brand. In the past, she has shared the story of being molested at a swimming pool when she was 14 and said that for years she blamed herself, because she had been wearing a two-piece bathing suit. She said she was raped when she was 16, leading her to drop out of high school, before pulling herself out of a downward spiral and becoming the first woman to graduate from the military college the Citadel.
Ms. Mace has tried to position herself as the ultimate defender of women’s rights, even as she has expressed unequivocal support for President Trump, who has been found liable for sexual abuse, and a cabinet member who has been dogged by an accusation of sexual assault that he has denied. In recent weeks, Ms. Mace has made a campaign out of her measure to bar transgender individuals from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol complex.
A onetime moderate who has made a full-bore turn to Trumpism as she has tried to game out her own political future in a tribal party, Ms. Mace has been vocal in recent weeks about her interest in running for governor in her state.
So has Alan Wilson, the South Carolina attorney general, whom she targeted in her speech on Monday as a “do-nothing attorney general” and accused of treating women who came forward like criminals.
“During the last year, as I turned everything over to law enforcement, I was told I, as a victim, would be investigated,” she said.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Wilson, Jaqueline Lane, said that Ms. Mace’s statements regarding the conduct of the attorney general were “categorically false.”
“At this time, our office has not received any reports or requests for assistance from any law enforcement or prosecution agencies regarding these matters,” said Ms. Lane, who added that neither Mr. Wilson nor anyone in his office had heard of Ms. Mace’s allegations until she spoke out on Monday night.
She said that while Ms. Mace and Mr. Wilson had been at multiple events together over the last six months and the congresswoman had the attorney general’s cellphone number, “not once has she approached or reached out to him regarding any of her concerns.”
On the House floor, Ms. Mace said that on her last night with her former fiancé, he “physically assaulted me,” leaving a permanent mark on her body. Before that, she said, she had found about a dozen compromising photos of underage girls on his phone, as well as more than 10,000 videos documenting assaults of other women who appeared to be incapacitated at the time, and graphic images of women that appeared to have been recorded surreptitiously.
She was shocked, she said, to zoom in on one of the videos and discover that she was one of the women who had been filmed nude, without her consent.
Ms. Mace gave her speech in a mostly empty chamber after House votes. But three female Republican lawmakers, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Victoria Spartz of Indiana, sat behind her in solidarity.
In a shocking turn of events, Representative Mace took to the House floor today to deliver a powerful speech accusing several members of Congress of rape and sexual predation. With a trembling voice and tears in her eyes, Mace detailed the harrowing experiences of victims who had come forward to share their stories with her.She called for a full investigation into the allegations and urged her colleagues to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. Mace emphasized the importance of creating a safe and respectful work environment for all members of Congress and their staff.
The room fell silent as Mace concluded her speech, leaving a palpable sense of unease and anger in the air. The gravity of her accusations reverberated throughout the Capitol, sparking a national conversation about the pervasive culture of abuse and harassment in politics.
As the dust settles and the fallout from Mace’s speech continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the fight against sexual misconduct in the halls of power is far from over. It is up to all of us to stand up, speak out, and demand justice for the victims of these heinous crimes.

UCLA Makes Stunning Comeback on Floor to Edge Michigan State
LOS ANGELES – In front of a crowd of 10,681 in Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom and a nationally-televised audience on FOX, No. 6 UCLA made an exhilarating comeback in the final rotation to defeat No. 5 Michigan State, 197.300-197.200. The Bruins trailed by seven-tenths of a point before scoring a national-best 49.800 on floor exercise, capped by a meet-clinching perfect 10.0 from Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles.The Bruins (6-2 overall, 3-0 in the Big Ten) are well-known for their floor parties, but Saturday’s party was a full-out rave, with each competitor building up the scores. Leadoff performer Emily Lee started with a 9.875 on her first floor routine of the year. Emma Malabuyo followed with a 9.900. Freshman Macy McGowan scored her first career 9.950. Brooklyn Moors and Chae Campbell went back-to-back with 9.975s, setting the stage for Chiles’ fifth career 10 on floor.
With UCLA surging and regaining all of the momentum in the room, Michigan State could not hold on to its lead, scoring 49.000 on balance beam. After their final competitor Gabrielle Stephen finished with a 9.825 to give the Spartans a one-tenth lead, the fate of the meet rested in Chiles’ hands. Needing a 9.925 to win the meet for UCLA, the junior delivered with a 10.0 to give the Bruins the narrow victory.
Jordan Chiles’ second perfect 10.0 of the season is a must-watch ??

— Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) February 2, 2025“That was incredible. It was one of those moments in sport that you live for. It was a really special moment,” said The R.C. Rothman UCLA Head Gymnastics Coach Janelle McDonald. “I couldn’t be more proud of their resilience and their fight and grit in that moment. That said a lot about who our team is.”
The meet started out close, with UCLA taking a 49.350-49.300 lead after recording a season-high on vault. Chiles led the team with a 9.925 to match her season best, McGowan scored a new career-high of 9.900, and Campbell earned a 9.875. Freshman Riley Jenkins made her collegiate debut, scoring a 9.850 on a Yurchenko 1.5. Michigan State kept it close with a 49.300 on uneven bars, led by Sage Kellerman’s 9.925.
UCLA continued fighting in rotation two, with Campbell, Mika Webster-Longin and Emma Malabuyo starting with consecutive marks of 9.850, all season-highs for each gymnast. Frida Esparza also added a 9.850, but the Bruins finished with a 49.150 after a mishap on the low bar from Chiles. Meanwhile, Michigan State had a historic vault rotation, recording a school record 49.600, the highest vault score in the nation this season. Three Spartans, Olivia Zsarmani, Nikki Smith and Kellerman, each scored 9.950s, enabling Michigan State to take the lead, 98.900-98.500.
The Spartans increased their lead in rotation three after scoring 49.300 on floor to UCLA’s 49.000 on beam. The Bruins started with back-to-back 9.850s from Emily Lee and Chiles, but Malabuyo owas the only other Bruin to score above 9.7, earning a meet-winning 9.925.

— Big Ten Gymnastics (@B1GGymnastics) February 1, 2025Down 148.200-147.500, the Bruins needed to be nearly perfect to try to catch Michigan State, and they nearly were, recording the No. 4 floor score in school history and the team’s highest floor since also scoring 49.800 on Feb. 23, 2020. This was just the sixth score of 49.800 or higher by any UCLA team on any event.
The Bruins will next compete in Washington on Friday, Feb. 7, taking on the Huskies at 6:30 pm PT.
