Ex-fiancé sues Rep. Nancy Mace, claims she fabricated sexual assault allegations

Bryant alleges Mace fabricated sexual assault claims to blackmail him and conspired with others to frame him, denying all accusations from a 2018 incident.

  • Patrick Bryant filed suit in Charleston on Wednesday, alleging Rep. Nancy Mace fabricated a 2018 assault claim and seeking damages for defamation, privacy invasion, and emotional distress.
  • In February, Rep. Nancy Mace told the House she accused Patrick Bryant of abuse, and a May lawsuit by Jane Doe alleged an assault tied to 2018, which Bryant says was fabricated.
  • Bryant's suit alleges that Mace conspired with Bowman's estranged wife to frame him, tried to hack his phone, and the May suit claimed Jane Doe was assaulted at Eric Bowman's home, which Bryant disputes.
  • Her office pointed to a recent court order from six days ago involving Bryant's lawyer and said she had Bryant sanctioned in court while she and Jane Doe are still awaiting payment of legal fees Bryant allegedly owes.
  • In court filings and statements, Patrick Bryant denied assaulting or raping any woman and said he and others did nothing to Doe in October 2018, adding, `I will stay focused on clearing my name and standing up for the innocent people that I care about.
