Amid Mounting Swalwell Claims, DA Says No Victims Have Come Forward In Alameda County
No Alameda County complaints have been filed, and the district attorney said the office will review allegations if a victim comes forward.
- On Thursday, Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson announced that no local victims have filed official reports regarding Congressman Eric Swalwell, though her office remains prepared to investigate if allegations arise.
- Swalwell resigned from the House on April 14 following multiple sexual assault allegations he has denied, and authorities in New York and Los Angeles have opened criminal investigations into the former congressman.
- Former Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price recently launched an independent hotline for potential victims and urged Jones Dickson to recuse herself, citing approximately $55,000 in past campaign donations from Swalwell.
- Warning against non-law enforcement hotlines, Jones Dickson emphasized victims should only share information with official agencies to ensure confidentiality, stating, "We need them to know that their privacy and their agency will be protected."
- While no criminal cases are currently open in Alameda County, the District Attorney's Office is reviewing information to determine if any crimes occurred during Swalwell's tenure as a prosecutor from 2006 to 2012.
