00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.839
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed, Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.320
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and we

3
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.239
are back with another episode of Exposed, this time an

4
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.199
emergency podcast drop and let me tell you what let

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.320
into this. So a bomb dropped just forty eight hours

6
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.000
or so from this emergency episode. And when I say

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:40.560
a bomb, I'm talking nuclear. Nancy Mace, a congresswoman from

8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:46.079
South Carolina Murdaw Country, used her time on the Congressional

9
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:51.439
floor nearly an hour to expose four people to sex

10
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:56.439
crimes reminiscent of Sean Diddy Combs. And when I say

11
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.679
she told it all, wait till you hear that. Now.

12
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.719
For those not familiar with Nancy Mays, she's a forty

13
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:09.280
seven year old, very far right Republican who is a

14
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.040
representative for South Carolina's first Concressional district and she's been

15
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.400
in that office since twenty twenty one. Now, interestingly, she

16
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.840
is also the first Republican woman elected to Congress for

17
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.840
the state of South Carolina. She served in South Carolina's

18
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.640
House of Representatives from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. She

19
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.840
also worked for President Donald Trump's twenty sixteen campaign, as

20
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:40.560
well as volunteering for Ron Paul's presidential campaign in twenty twelve. Now,

21
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.920
although she's often criticized, she speaks her mind pretty frequently

22
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.480
in Congress, and she's often criticized for that, she is

23
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.079
actually a very accomplished woman. In nineteen ninety nine, Mace

24
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.519
became the first woman to graduate from the Core Cadets

25
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.560
program at the Citadel. In two thousand and eight, she

26
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:04.079
started a public relations firm called the Mace Group. In

27
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.560
a year prior to that, she became the co owner

28
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.280
of the South Carolina politics website fit News, which incidentally

29
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:17.439
a fantastic website online news network that I source often

30
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.719
for my information when I covered the Murder All series.

31
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:25.400
Mace is also considering a run for governor of South Carolina,

32
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.800
which will take place in twenty twenty six. So regardless

33
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.199
of what side of politics you're on, she's no joke

34
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.280
in South Carolina, a very powerful woman. So a couple

35
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.439
of things to remember before I play this first clip. First,

36
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.039
you're gonna hear four names. It's very important to mention

37
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.639
and get the legalese out of the way. In the

38
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.719
United States, you're innocent until proven guilty, So right Now

39
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:55.960
these are just allegations made by Nancy Mace, and as

40
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.479
of this recording, nobody has been arrested. And of course,

41
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.000
in the United States, you're innocent until proving guilty. So

42
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.800
with all of that, here's the first clip on the

43
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.919
Congressional floor.

44
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.800
Mister speaker, I rise today to call it the cowards

45
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.159
who think they can pray on women and get away

46
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.599
with it. Today I'm going scorched earth, So let the bridges.

47
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.680
I burn this evening light our way forward. As in

48
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.960
many areas, God's word has given me wisdom. God's love

49
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.120
has shown me the light, and God's grace has given

50
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.039
me the strength to be here today. God placed this

51
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.039
burden on my path not to crush me, but to

52
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:49.639
ignite something within me, a calling, a purpose, a responsibility,

53
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:56.240
and courage which I am using in spades today. The

54
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.360
purpose of my speech tonight is to make sure these

55
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.520
women will now be forgotten and the men who hurt

56
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.680
them will never be allowed to get away with it

57
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.479
or hide again. God uses imperfect people to carry out

58
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.680
his perfect plans. I asked God to fill me up

59
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.199
to be his vessel and to use me for his

60
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.199
purpose tonight. I asked for his protection as I expose

61
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.759
the devil's hand today and Jeremiah six sixteen it says

62
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.279
when we're at a crossroads that were to look at

63
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.639
the ancient paths, look for the right way, and walk

64
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.240
on it. When I was saved five years ago in

65
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.560
church in May of twenty nineteen, it was a Saturday

66
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.199
night and I was there. I was at a crossroads

67
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.000
in life, and when I heard this sermon with my

68
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.519
child next to me, he put his arm around me.

69
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.560
He said, Mommy, it's going to be okay. We are

70
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.800
going to be okay. And I know that in God's faith,

71
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.879
in his wiz when I listen, he shows us the way.

72
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.240
And tonight it is God who is showing me the

73
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.519
right path to take, because this is about truth. This

74
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.120
is about unveiling evil that is in the state of

75
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.879
South Carolina. And I want to quote Martin Luther King

76
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:22.040
tonight who said, the time is always right to do

77
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.920
what is right. So what I am doing tonight, I

78
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:32.720
know in my heart of hearts is right. I'm going

79
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.480
to take this Bible a friend gave to me. I'm

80
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.759
going to place my hand on this Bible. I swear

81
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.199
to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but

82
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.519
the truth. So help me God. Today I'm going to

83
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.600
free myself from the monster who broke me. Today I'm

84
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.639
going to free other women who fell prey to the

85
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.480
same man. Today I will free other women further from

86
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.759
a group of men who committed the most evil acts

87
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.120
against them. I want every woman and girl to know

88
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.560
in the country, you have a friend, and you have

89
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.360
a sister and me and I will fight like hell

90
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.759
for you every day of the week. We must never

91
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:33.759
tolerate abusers masquerading as men of character. Abuse doesn't discriminate.

92
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.560
Abuse doesn't care if you're a Republican or if you're

93
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.879
a Democrat. Abuse doesn't care who you are, or where

94
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.959
you come from, or how strong you are, or what

95
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.160
title you hold. I'm living proof that, even as a

96
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.879
member of Congress, I found myself face to face with

97
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:04.160
the darkest corners of humanity. You really think you know

98
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:13.759
someone until you don't. In November twenty twenty three, I

99
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.079
accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable.

100
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.360
We're talking about rape, non consensual photos, non consensual videos

101
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:35.199
of women and underage girls, and the premeditated, calculated exploitation

102
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.399
of women and girls in my district. Today you will

103
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.240
hear about the depraved men behind these gutless and evil acts.

104
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.560
These men didn't just harm their victims. They recorded their

105
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:58.120
depravity as if it were a badge of honor. When

106
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.480
I uncovered evidence of rape and the illegal filming of

107
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:08.879
women and sex trafficking, I didn't just see victims. I

108
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:15.399
saw a system that failed to protect them. I saw

109
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.680
criminals who thought they could get away with it because

110
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.199
no one had the guts, no one had the courage,

111
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:29.040
no one had the bravery to hold them accountable. Because

112
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.919
we are filled with cowards. I will burn this system

113
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:42.080
to the ground if I have to. These men aren't

114
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.840
just criminals, They are predators. And you can see the

115
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.679
names and the faces of these predators on this board

116
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:57.039
to my right tonight. These predators are not untouchable. These

117
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:04.679
predators are not invisible, and these predators are not invincible.

118
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.879
And today their names will be tied to their crimes

119
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:16.840
and their cowardice forever. Let me see their names for

120
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.759
the record, in an alphabetical order. Eric Bowman of Sullivan's Island,

121
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:22.720
South Carolina.

122
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:27.919
Okay, So who is Eric Bowman? Well, he's a software engineer,

123
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.399
he lives on Sullivan's Island. He's the founder and president

124
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.960
of what's known as the stream Live media platform. He

125
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.039
also started and serves as the former CEO of a

126
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:45.720
company called Spark, which develops software for federal and defense contractors.

127
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.600
And he's a former soccer club owner and obviously a

128
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.720
multi millionaire with an attitude. Last year, he was accused

129
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.080
of assaulting a man on a golf cart following a

130
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.360
dispute over a one hundred and twenty four dollars board.

131
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.279
And this guy's a multi millionaire, but we continue.

132
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:10.120
Patrick Bryant of Mount Pleasant in Isola, Palm's, South Carolina,

133
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.840
who also goes by Brendan Patrick Bryant.

134
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.799
Okay, so, who is Patrick Bryant? Well, he is a

135
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.720
fifty one year old multi millionaire and he's the co

136
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.320
founder of a software development firm in Charleston, South Carolina,

137
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.639
as well as several other companies. The Charleston Business magazine

138
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.879
added Bryant to their fifty most Influential People in twenty eighteen,

139
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:40.519
calling Bryant a serial entrepreneur and the most shocking aspect

140
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:45.039
of who this guy is. Mace and Bryant became engaged

141
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.960
in twenty twenty two. This was three years after she

142
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.799
divorced her second husband, Curtis Jackson, with whom she has

143
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.919
two children. Now, Mace broke off that engagement with Bryant

144
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.639
after she found him on a dating app, which she's

145
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.159
gonna dress in her speech.

146
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:07.279
So we continue, John Osborne of Charleston, South Carolina.

147
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.320
All right, who is John Osborne? Well, he is a

148
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.960
forty four year old multimillionaire and investor who founded the

149
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:19.360
crowdfunding platform funding Charleston dot com in twenty twelve. He

150
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.759
served for seven years as the executive administrator of the

151
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:28.720
Angel Partners of Charleston, and they invest in early stage businesses.

152
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.240
Another guy with a lot of money.

153
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:36.679
We continue, and Brian Musgrave of Fort Mill, South Carolina.

154
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.960
And finally we have Musgrove. Now he's fifty one years old,

155
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:47.360
a multimillionaire software development entrepreneur and a business partner of

156
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:54.039
Nancy Mace's ex fiance Patrick Bryant. So Mace continues, instead of.

157
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.919
We let me be loud and clear, I would never

158
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.799
allow any woman or underaged girl anywhere near any of you.

159
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.320
When you incapacitate women, it's against the law. When you

160
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:16.320
sexually assault women, it's called rape. If you film women

161
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:21.879
naked without their knowledge, without their permission, and without their consent,

162
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.159
it's called voyeurism, and it makes you a peeping tom,

163
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:34.440
and it is illegal. When you and your business partners

164
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.519
like these all business partners, When you and your business

165
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:46.759
partners pay each other and you sexually abuse women, it's

166
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.200
called sex trafficking, and it is against the law. And

167
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:58.240
if by definition makes you a sex trafficker, witness intimidation

168
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:08.679
is also illegal. To Eric Bowman, Patrick Bryant, Brian Musgrave

169
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.039
and John Osborne, you have bought yourself a one way

170
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.600
ticket to hell. It is NonStop. There are no connections,

171
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:25.000
so I and all of your victims can watch you

172
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:35.480
rot for an eternity. Today is about justice. Truth has

173
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.639
a way of rising, no matter how deeply you try

174
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.240
to bury it. Tonight is about truth, the painful, the cold,

175
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.399
the hard truth. On the night of October thirty, the

176
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.440
twenty twenty three, I received a text message with screenshots

177
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.759
from a friend of mine in South Carolina. It showed

178
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:02.120
my then fiance Patrick Bryant active on a dating app

179
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.120
and South Carolina politics is a blood sport. I thought

180
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.480
this was your usual run of the mill political game.

181
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.080
I thought it was a joke. When I confronted Patrick

182
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:21.000
Bryant four days later on November third, the first thing

183
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.399
he did was take his phone and put it in

184
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:39.360
a safe and lock it. A safe identical to this one,

185
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.279
but so confusing, and didn't understand why would someone put

186
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.360
their cell phone in a safe and lock it. After

187
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.840
more women came forward, I realized this was not for laughs.

188
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.360
Soon after, I learned the dating app was the very

189
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.679
least of my worries. Let me make I don't care

190
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.000
that he was on a dating app. Two days later,

191
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:13.879
Patrick Bryant put my thumb print on his phone one

192
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.080
just like this, he put his thumbprint, my thumb print

193
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:21.639
on his phone. He also gave me the four digit

194
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:27.039
code to his safe. The night that I was given

195
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.559
legal access to his phone, I opened it for the

196
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:35.440
first time, and what I discovered shocked me to my core.

197
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:40.360
Okay, so two things from this point. First, you're about

198
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.600
to hear some very disturbing allegations. So if disturbing details

199
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.159
are not your thing, this is where you should cut

200
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.919
the podcast off. And I say that for one particular

201
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.440
reason especially I got a like one or two star

202
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:01.039
writing on the podcast and the person called me salacious.

203
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.639
Jim is salacious, really good storyteller, but he's salacious and

204
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.960
we don't need to know all the details. Well, most

205
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.320
of the people that listen to this podcast do want

206
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.399
to know all the details. If you don't want to

207
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.039
know all the details, this is not the podcast for you.

208
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.480
I don't sugarcoat things. I don't censor things. I quote

209
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.679
from documents, and if those documents say something, I'm gonna

210
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.279
say it. I'm not gonna hide it from you. A

211
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.279
lot of what I cover are things that are unfortunately,

212
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.399
they occur every day, and I'm not gonna hide the

213
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.559
fact or sugarcoat it for people. Most of my audience

214
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.559
wants to hear the details. So you're gonna hear the

215
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.320
details here, but you're not gonna hear him from me.

216
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.759
You're gonna hear him from Nancy Mace. Now. Second, keep

217
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:54.000
in mind, he let her in that phone, as she mentioned,

218
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.600
and in the safe as she mentioned, which after you

219
00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.919
hear this next clip, you're probably gonna be like me

220
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.679
and wonder of the same thing, which is, what the

221
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.440
fuck did he give her access for? If he had

222
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:09.240
all this information? But she'll explain that in the clip.

223
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.240
Now the next clip I'm going to play. I'm going

224
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.359
to play it all the way through to the end

225
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.160
of Nancy Mace's statement, and I'll give you some thoughts

226
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:17.839
after that.

227
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.279
One of the first videos I saw I was of

228
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:25.400
a woman. She was incapacitated and she was being raped.

229
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.279
I found some photos of what appeared to be a

230
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:34.119
teenager undressed in the kind of underwear a child would wear.

231
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:39.319
To me, the facial expression of this young woman, young girl,

232
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:47.880
teenager looked scared and nervous. I saw another video of

233
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:53.319
another woman who was undressed, clearly on a camera, unaware

234
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:58.359
she was being filmed. She was slender, and she had

235
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.200
long brown hair. I turned up the volume to hear

236
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:09.680
if there was audio. I heard my voice. I zoomed

237
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:19.960
in on the video and that woman was me. My

238
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:26.680
entire body was paralyzed and I couldn't move where my

239
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.759
feet on the floor. Was I breathing? I have no idea.

240
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.920
I could feel pain shooting out of my heart, out

241
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.319
of my chest, dropped straight down to the floor like

242
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.559
I was in a nose dive. The pain running through

243
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:49.160
my veins wouldn't stop. Time was suspended for a moment.

244
00:18:53.920 --> 00:19:00.200
This monster stole my body. It felt like I had

245
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:05.400
been raped. He stole my body without my permission, without

246
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:11.039
my knowledge, and without my consent. This hidden camera that

247
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.200
I found was at a property owned by Patrick Bryant

248
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:19.519
and his business partner, Brian Musgrave. Here was hit a

249
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:26.279
similar camera, but on Amazon. Something this small that could

250
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:35.440
violate so many to such a heinous degree. I found

251
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:40.720
an app where at least one of the hidden cameras

252
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.960
I discovered was stored. I discovered on this app for

253
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:51.480
this tiny little camera there were ten thousand, six hundred

254
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:57.440
and thirty three videos on it. Let me repeat, Just

255
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:01.799
one camera I found had ten one thousand, six hundred

256
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.759
and thirty three videos on it. Patrick Bryant must have

257
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.759
forgotten in my younger days. In my youth, I used

258
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:14.079
to be a computer programmer. I know enough about technology.

259
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:20.160
I found more photos, this time of female employees. I

260
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:27.119
found photos of wives of male employees, photos of girlfriends

261
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.359
and women who very clearly didn't know their private parts

262
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:36.839
were being filmed and photographed. I found file after file

263
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:43.759
after file. Patrick Bryant had upskirt photos of one particular victim,

264
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.160
the wife of a male employee who was also one

265
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.480
of his best friends. He took upskirt photos of his

266
00:20:53.559 --> 00:21:02.279
employee's wife, spanning at least eight years. He even took

267
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:09.079
upskirt photos of her on their family vacations. And I

268
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:11.680
know she had no idea these photos were being taken.

269
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.200
Because of the way that they were taken, there's no

270
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.400
way that she knew about it. I found about a

271
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.759
dozen photos in Patrick Bryant's trashman of underaged girls that

272
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.599
he deleted in the hours after he gave me access

273
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.759
to his phone. I recognize three of the underage girls

274
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:33.440
as daughters of some of his business partners, some of

275
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:40.000
them and bikinis. If you're a fifty year old man

276
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.000
and you have teenage girls and bikinis on your phone

277
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:45.880
and it's okay, why would you delete them in the

278
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.519
hours after your fiance got access to your phone and

279
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.799
there's nothing wrong with it? Why would these twelve plus

280
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.039
videos of underage excuse me, twelve plus photos of these

281
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.160
underage girls be in your trashman. What are you to

282
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.599
worry about if there's nothing going on? But three of

283
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:04.119
the teenage girls I saw in his trash men of

284
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.359
his business partners were in bikinis. One of these jarring

285
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:09.759
photos of the child of one of his business partners.

286
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:15.079
Was an underage girl, fully clothed, but her legs were

287
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:20.400
spread open, unaware she was being photographed. Patrick Bryant took

288
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:27.400
this photo from his penis area. In my accidental discovery,

289
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.759
I found multiple devices used by him to record women

290
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.079
without their knowledge. And that's before I get to what

291
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.920
I uncovered with Patrick Bryant and his business partners. The

292
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.079
weekend I was giving access to Patrick Bryant's phone. I

293
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.440
got a second I found evidence that he got a

294
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:52.480
second mobile device. I documented it. Patrick Bryant couldn't transfer

295
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.279
these files office device fast enough. I discovered he was

296
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:04.200
transferring terabytes of data onto another device. I documented it.

297
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.599
Patrick Bryant would soon replace his cell phone with a

298
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.759
new one. I documented that too. He forgets that I

299
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.039
used to be a computer programmer. None of this is conjecture.

300
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:25.079
These are not allegations. These are facts. It is documented

301
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.160
sometimes with metadata. I knew how to get that too.

302
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.079
This is what I found, this is what I saw,

303
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:40.079
and this is what I accidentally discovered. As you should

304
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:46.400
know by now, I keep all the receipts. In addition

305
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:52.759
to what I documented, I personally identified I personally identified

306
00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:00.319
almost a dozen victims. I found some witnesses, and I

307
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:05.480
found more than enough probable cause and then some If

308
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:10.759
I found this many victims with this little effort, why

309
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:18.240
why are they still on the streets of South Carolina today.

310
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.720
I'm just one person. Imagine how many victims there truly

311
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.480
are tonight and they don't even know that they're victims

312
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.160
of this cobble of rapists, this cobble of sex traffickers,

313
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:37.559
this cobble of peeping toms. Exactly seven days later, after

314
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.240
I got access to Patrick Bryan's phone, I was under

315
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:47.599
extreme duress. I found more photos, I found more videos.

316
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:54.720
On my last night with Patrick Bryant, he physically assaulted me.

317
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.359
On the morning of November thirteenth, I fled my home

318
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.799
and I went into hiding. I, as a member of Congress,

319
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.559
fled my home and I went into hiding. It would

320
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.519
be the first of four moves that I made last year.

321
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.599
I still have the mark that Patrick Bryant made on

322
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:22.240
me the night that he assaulted me. Rather than see

323
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.400
this mark as a scar, I see this mark of

324
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.119
a free woman, free from a monster. I will wear

325
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.640
this mark that he made on me for the rest

326
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:42.720
of my life as a badge of honor to the

327
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:48.839
friends who took me in, I want to say thank you.

328
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.039
You took care of me when I had nowhere to go.

329
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:58.160
You took care of me and my kids. Last year,

330
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.680
I had to tell a woman that she'd been raped

331
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:09.039
and she didn't even know it. And she didn't know it.

332
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:14.680
She had no idea because she was incapacitated at the

333
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:20.519
time of the rape. I knew she was raped because

334
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:28.559
I accidentally found the video of her being raped. I

335
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:35.720
found photos and video of her assault on Patrick Bryant's thumb.

336
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:42.880
One of Patrick Bryan's business associates, John Osborne, sexually assaulted

337
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:49.039
her at the home of Eric Bowman. Patrick Brian Eric

338
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:53.839
Bowman both had their phones out like this as she

339
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:59.119
was being assaulted. As she was being raped, the two

340
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.440
of them, the three of them business partners. The two

341
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.599
of them had their phones out just like this, filming

342
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:11.799
her as she was being raped, and she was completely

343
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.000
laid out. There was no movement, there was no life.

344
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:23.279
I couldn't even tell if this young woman was a life.

345
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.359
John Osborne. Today, John Osborne, I want you to hear

346
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.400
this in your omission as you're frantically texting people today,

347
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:37.079
I cannot unsee what you did to this young woman,

348
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.920
and you will not. You will not get away with it,

349
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.720
None of you will, because tonight is about justice for me,

350
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:49.400
and tonight is about justice for all of the women

351
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.279
that you all raped, that you all filmed, that you

352
00:27:53.359 --> 00:28:01.079
all photographed, that you all abused for years. I would

353
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:06.680
later learn that these men, the three of them, Patrick Bryant,

354
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:15.960
Eric Bowman, and John Osborne, planned her rape. It was premeditated.

355
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.480
Eric Bowman knew there were children in the home at

356
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.960
the time of the rape, and he decided to orchestrate

357
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.759
it anyway. But that's not the only rape I uncovered

358
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:31.160
in Eric Bowman's home. In a second video, Patrick Bryant

359
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:36.720
could be seen breaking into a room, his pants undone,

360
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:45.599
ready to rape a different incapacitated woman, again laid out.

361
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.920
There was no life, there was no movement. I couldn't

362
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:57.319
tell if she was alive. Eric Bowman, his business partner,

363
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:02.519
filmed it. When I informed my children we were urgently

364
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.799
fleeing our home as if our lives depended on it,

365
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:15.160
my children asked me if Patrick Bryant had ever raped me.

366
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:21.519
I don't know how children know the inherent spirit of humanity.

367
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:27.480
But my kids knew something I did not already. No

368
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.400
children have a way of knowing evil in others when

369
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.920
we don't. And searching for victims over the last year,

370
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.880
I met other women who were raped or sexually assaulted

371
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.480
by some of these men. The other assaults I uncovered

372
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:48.640
over the last year, span over a decade, almost twenty years,

373
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:53.240
and talking to these victims, there's a clear pattern of behavior.

374
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:59.519
Women were incapacitated, they were raped, and someone filmed it.

375
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.720
One night in twenty twenty two, I found myself at

376
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.160
a property owned by Patrick Bryant and Brian Musgrave on

377
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.640
the Isle of Palms in South Carolina. Business partners Patrick

378
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.279
Brian Eric Bowman were both there. I was served two

379
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.960
small vodka sodas like this glass right here, too, small

380
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:25.200
vodka sodas like anyone would have at their neighborhood restaurant.

381
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.960
A short time later, I blacked out. I have never

382
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.319
blacked out after having a vodka soda or any adult

383
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:42.559
beverage ever, and my life has never happened. But I

384
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.480
know who has the women raped on those tapes that

385
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.000
I saw, the women raped that I spoke to over

386
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.160
the course of the last year. The stories of these

387
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:00.400
women were all too familiar. Now I know why. Of

388
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.480
that night are just flashes in and out of the dark,

389
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.599
flashes in and out of the night. I was raped

390
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.759
that night? Was it Patrick Bryant? I don't know, but

391
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:15.680
I was raped. I believe that they purposely incapacitated me.

392
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:18.599
Was anyone else, Sarah? Was it filmed? Was it sold

393
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:23.119
in the dark web? I have no idea, but I

394
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.079
know what these men do to their victims. I learned

395
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.839
firsthand about the weaponization of government going through this trauma

396
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.960
because I met it head on. I fought in silence,

397
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.039
and it was one of the hardest things I have

398
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:40.400
ever had to do. In October, Eric Bowman tried to

399
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:45.039
intimidate me, and he tried to silence me, and the

400
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.480
State of South Carolina failed to take it seriously as

401
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:54.759
witness intimidation. During the last year, I turned everything over

402
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.839
to law enforcement and then some I was told I,

403
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:05.200
as a victim, would be investigated, investigated for what I

404
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.400
am a victim? Here I am turning in all of

405
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:13.160
this evidence to you. And now you say victims, You're

406
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.599
a victim of rape, You're a victim of being drug

407
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.160
you're a victim of a peeping tom and laryors, and

408
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:23.400
yet we're going to investigate you. That is what this

409
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.960
state told me during the last year, more than once

410
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:34.680
I was told I could be arrested, arrested for what.

411
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.839
These types of threats are also a way to intimidate victims,

412
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.200
instealing fear so victims hide in the shadows, so victims

413
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.720
don't come forward, so victims don't ask for complaints to

414
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:56.519
be filed, so there is no investigation because you strike

415
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:02.200
holy fear and victims or you tell them there's nothing

416
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:08.799
you can do, and you tell them they have no value.

417
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:15.720
I brought handcuffs with me today. If anyone would like

418
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.200
to arrest me for standing up for women, here are

419
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:28.200
my risks. Arrest me, take me to jail, because I

420
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.880
am a hundred percent guilty of turning over evidence of

421
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.960
peeping toms, of turning over evidence of rape, of turning

422
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.880
over evidence of voyeurism, of turning over evidence of sex trafficking,

423
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.640
and who knows, probably a heck of a lot more

424
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:49.039
and more crimes I don't have time to get into tonight.

425
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:56.720
I am a hundred percent guilty of advocating for justice

426
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:07.359
despite every effort to silence me. There is a silent

427
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.840
battle raging every single day. It's not a problem confined

428
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.480
to one race. It's not a problem confined to one religion.

429
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:21.400
It's not a problem confined to one socio economic class.

430
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:29.079
It's not someone else's problem. It is our problem. We

431
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:36.039
must face domestic violence, sexual assault, rape, and sex trafficking

432
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:40.960
with courage. We must face it with clarity, and we

433
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:46.079
must face it with compassion. We must also face it

434
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:52.000
with hard core justice. There is no room for those

435
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:56.639
who think their strength is an intimidating and harming or

436
00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:03.559
threatening others. True strength lies an honor, It lies in respect,

437
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.920
and it lies in the truth. Real men are protectors,

438
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.000
They're not predators. South Carolina's chief law enforcement officer, Attorney

439
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.880
General Alan Wilson, stated two weeks ago tonight that he

440
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:24.199
will let his quote record speak for itself. Attorney General

441
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.400
Alan Wilson, be careful what you wish for, because your

442
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:35.360
record speaks loud and clear. Women who come forward in

443
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:40.599
your system are treated like criminals under your leadership, in

444
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:47.639
your system and on your watch, Attorney General Alan Wilson,

445
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.239
you know there were deliberate delays in an investigation in

446
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:56.760
what I turned over two hundred and twenty eight days

447
00:35:56.760 --> 00:36:01.000
of delay and you know this, two and twenty eight

448
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:03.679
days of delay. That's seven months, two weeks and four

449
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:09.159
days of delay to investigate once again. Today you are

450
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:11.719
kicking the can down the road like you always do.

451
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:16.559
You are known for it. More days, more weeks, and

452
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:20.519
more delay. Did the Attorney General contact the Department of

453
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.880
Social Services when the State was told about a rape

454
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.400
that happened in a home with children when children went home?

455
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.880
No he didn't. Did South COT's Attorney General have any

456
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.599
of these predators indicted after being provide a clear cut

457
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:39.519
and dry evidence, including video, photos, witnesses, No, he did not.

458
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.639
When the attorney of a victim asked to speak to

459
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.760
the Attorney General Alan Wilson directly, he told the attorney

460
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:47.880
not to send him any information, not to send him

461
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:53.760
any documents. Did the State accept additional physical evidence from

462
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:56.679
me late last year when I stumbled upon it, No

463
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.199
they did not. He also told my domestic violence incident

464
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:07.239
would not be investigated, and your system, Attorney General Alan Wilson,

465
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.559
Women who come forward or threatened with investigation like I was,

466
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:16.000
and your system. Women who come forward are threatened with

467
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.880
arrest like I was. While the law is explicit in

468
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:26.880
protecting victims and your system, you don't follow the law.

469
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:32.119
I waited three hundred and twenty days before receiving a

470
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.920
victim's rights advocate, and only because I was persistent, I

471
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.960
was given a victims rights advocate ten months, two weeks

472
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:49.239
and six days later, ten months, ten and a half months,

473
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.480
the state waited to give me a victim's rights advocate.

474
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.639
What is wrong with you people? So let me remind you,

475
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:04.239
mister Attorney General, you have one job, and it is

476
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:10.199
to follow the law. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson,

477
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.320
You're not a real man, because real men, real men

478
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:20.800
protect women. I have no respect for anyone who treats

479
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:25.679
women and victims the way you do. I will stand

480
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:28.159
up and stand in the way of anyone who will

481
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:33.320
cause harm and abuse, and you're one of them. You've

482
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:35.679
turned a blind eye to women and girls for the

483
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:44.559
last fifteen years. I don't have the luxury of looking away.

484
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.039
The larger emotional travesty for the victims here, which overshadows

485
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.119
all of these evil acts, is the fact the state

486
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.800
has refused to do its job and put these predators

487
00:38:56.840 --> 00:39:04.880
behind bars and effect telling these victims they have no value.

488
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:11.519
Justice delayed is justice denied. The delays have been long enough.

489
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.239
My outrage over your broken system and my passion to

490
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:19.960
call out and fix it isn't personal. I have an

491
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:25.880
ethical and a moral obligation to protect each and every

492
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:30.679
one of my constituents, even if it's from someone I

493
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.480
know personally. To the victims tonight, I want you to

494
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:39.800
know you have value and you, as a victim, can

495
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:46.440
still have victory after tonight. To those concerned about false accusation,

496
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:48.400
and there will be some of you out there, Yes,

497
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:54.039
fake victims exist, and they do real, consequential harm to

498
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:59.199
real victims. But the existence of a few frauds should

499
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:03.440
not and cannot be an excuse to ignore the desperate

500
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:10.119
cries of those who suffer in silence. Justice demands discernment,

501
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:16.360
not denial. This isn't a story about bitter ex girlfriends,

502
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.480
because some of you will say that too, that's not true.

503
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.960
This isn't a story about consensual sex tapes. There were

504
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:28.239
plenty of those. I don't care what two consisting adults do.

505
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.480
That is a definition of freedom. This is a story

506
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:38.639
about predators who hunt women for sport. This is a

507
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:42.719
story about rapists. This is a story about sex traffickers.

508
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:47.239
This is a story about peeping tom's and voyeurs who

509
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.079
have never been called to account or held responsible for

510
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:55.480
their heinous crimes against women. The daughter of Ethelance, a

511
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.920
victim of the twenty fifteen Mother Emmanuel shooting, said to

512
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:08.760
her mom's killer, I forgive you. If she can do it,

513
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:13.760
I can too. Ethel thank you for being a beacon

514
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:17.519
of forgiveness for Christians out there in the world to

515
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.679
know forgiveness can happen. I don't want to forgive. I

516
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:24.960
don't want to, but I know that as a woman

517
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.400
of faith, I have to. But also the Bible reminds

518
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:38.719
us that forgiveness does not forfeit justice. And Romans twelve nineteen,

519
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.840
it says, beloved, never avenge yourself, but leave it to God.

520
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.599
Leave it to the wrath of God, For it is written.

521
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.559
Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, says the Lord.

522
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:53.400
Today we're getting justice. As a woman of faith, I

523
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:55.760
draw strength from the teachings of Jesus Christ, and Christ

524
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:59.920
confronted injustice wherever he saw it. I will not stand

525
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:02.880
silently by while abuse is excused, while it's hidden and

526
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:07.320
while it's ignored, I will have abusers accountable, and I

527
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.239
will fight to ensure every woman and child has a

528
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.760
safety and security they deserve. As you Sell Pelico said,

529
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:21.840
shame must change sides. I no longer live in the shadows.

530
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.880
I no longer live in shame. I live in the light.

531
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:29.519
So thank you to Sell for being fearless and fighting

532
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.400
for your justice. I want to recognize JK. Rowling for

533
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:38.239
her resilience and speaking out for women and girls. She

534
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:41.320
her message has kept me pushing forward on days when

535
00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:44.119
I didn't think I had anything left. And there are

536
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.159
an untold number of groups working around the clock to

537
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.159
support women. I thank you too. I've spent countless hours

538
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.639
working on legislation to protect women and girls since this

539
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:58.719
deeply traumatic event. I want to thank my staff or

540
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:03.199
here and who are watching for working on this legislation.

541
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:07.440
They've worked incredibly hard to deliver. Women have rights. Women

542
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.280
have the right to privacy. We have the right not

543
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:12.719
to be filmed. We have the right not to be raped.

544
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.920
We have the right not to be intimidated and harassed.

545
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:20.920
We have the right to feel safe and secure. There's

546
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.360
more work to be done yet, but to my staff

547
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.599
and to my team, you are making an enormous difference

548
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.920
for women and girls everywhere. We have filed over a

549
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.639
dozen bills in the last fourteen months since this Since

550
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:35.039
this has happened, my bill, the Sioux Voyurs Act, creates

551
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:37.960
a civil right of action for victims of voyeurism. The

552
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.320
Stop Bowyer's Act expands the very narrow criminal prohibition against

553
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:44.320
video of varrourism at the federal level. HR seven five

554
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.679
to sixty seven addresses deep fakes. The Violence Against Women

555
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:51.400
by Illegal Aliens Act at ports rapists and pedophiles. The

556
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.880
Safe Shelters Act prohibits sex offenders from entering or using

557
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:58.760
the services of emergency shelters. The Rape Shield Enhancement Enhancement

558
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.679
Act to protect the women who are raped to protect

559
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.840
their privacy that my bill. The Stop Invasion of Women's

560
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.320
Spaces Act defunds any entity who allows an individual to

561
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.599
use a single sex facility that does not correspond with

562
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:18.880
their biological sex. The Protecting Women's Spaces Act prohibits people

563
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:21.599
from using single sex facilities on federal property other than

564
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:25.480
those corresponding with their biological gender. The Prison Rate Prevention

565
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:29.480
Act ensures and requires inmates to be housed based on

566
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.719
their biological sex, so women can't be raped by a

567
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.960
man who thinks he's a woman. The Vanished Act addresses

568
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.599
revenge porn. HR. Eighty one to eighty increases a civil

569
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:41.519
penalty for revenge porn. HR one five seventy nine prohibits

570
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:44.840
members and those from using single sex facilities other than

571
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:48.159
those corresponding with their gender. It's not just federal law,

572
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:50.480
but state law needs to be addressed to. In South Carolina,

573
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:54.559
state law sixteen Desk seventeen Desk four seventy makes voyeurism

574
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:57.920
in peeping Tom's first offense and misdemeanor not a felony.

575
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.360
It's a couple hundred dollars fine, a few years in

576
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.480
jail if if they prosecute you, and if they get

577
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.199
a conviction on that prosecution, which they don't want to prosecute.

578
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.800
By the way, if you'd like to work on legislation

579
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:14.119
with us, our office is open. You can go to

580
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:17.320
maze that house, suck gov Forward, slash women, and we

581
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:20.079
will work with you. Some will ask why am I

582
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:25.679
speaking out? I was horrified about what I uncovered and

583
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:28.719
cannot stand silent and do nothing about it. Being quiet

584
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:32.360
is not in my DNA, especially when I see wrongdoing.

585
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:36.800
The probability these predators are con continuing their abuse and

586
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:38.840
crimes against women right now as I speak, as I

587
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:44.760
give this speech right now is very high. As and

588
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.239
if I found this many victims with this little effort,

589
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:50.559
imagine how many victims are out there today. And so

590
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.920
we will put up our hotline. If you call eight

591
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:56.760
four three two one two seven zero four eight, that

592
00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:59.440
is our hotline. If you're a victim, let us know

593
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:02.960
we will help you. But there are so many victims

594
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.559
who may not even know they're victims yet. I'm sounding

595
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.920
the alarm on predators who are still roaming the streets

596
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:11.239
of South Carolina, and our chief law enforcement officer, Attorney

597
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:16.760
General Alan Wilson knows it. You don't wake up one

598
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:19.599
day and say your first crime of your life ever

599
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:23.519
is to premeditate a rape with you and your business partners,

600
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:26.400
with your kids at home, and you film it. Who

601
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.679
knows what else they've done over the years. To the

602
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:33.719
men watching, their next victim could be your daughter, your sister,

603
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:39.039
your wife. To the women watching tonight, their next victim

604
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.800
could be you. I feel duty bound to protect these

605
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:52.800
women and girls with every ounce of my being. I

606
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:55.719
am one of you. We are no different. We are

607
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:58.719
cut from the same cloth, victimized by the same men,

608
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.960
and I'm here for you. Do I trust South Carolina's

609
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:07.079
Attorney General to bring these women justice? Know? I do not.

610
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.960
Even today they're saying I don't know how the law

611
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:17.880
works as they condescendingly talk down to a victim. Let

612
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.280
me advise you, mister Attorney General, if you go to

613
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:24.360
your website, it is your duty to prosecute rape and

614
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.559
sexual assault and sex trafficking, which you brag about protecting

615
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.239
women and girls for the last fifteen years.

616
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.480
And you've done nothing about it, and you refuse to

617
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:36.599
act when you were given on a silver platter, a

618
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:42.639
plate of evidence, videos, photos, witnesses, victims of.

619
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:50.920
This, and you turn the other cheek. If Alan Wilson

620
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.800
won't do his job as Attorney General, I will do

621
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.320
it for him. I am duty bound to protect and

622
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:02.440
find every single female victim out there, and I will

623
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:05.719
do it. I will do it single handedly if I

624
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:09.599
have to. For too long, women have been told speaking

625
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:14.639
out against abuse is unbecoming, that it diminishes us. But

626
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:20.880
silence is what diminishes us, and strength comes from shining

627
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:26.440
light on a darkness. This is an incredibly difficult task.

628
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:28.960
I've been attacked for standing up for women, for our dignity,

629
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.800
for our safety, and for our rights. Just a few

630
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:35.159
weeks ago, I was physically attacked by a Troe prans

631
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:40.400
pro trans man for it too. I'll take all of

632
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:42.800
the arrows and all of the attacks if it means

633
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:46.119
I'm taking these attacks for each and every one of you.

634
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:51.800
I'm doing this today because we can't delay justice. Justice

635
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:57.519
victims like myself need to move forward. I've lived in fear,

636
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:01.639
I've lived in pain, I've lived in agony, But after

637
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:05.199
today I will live free. If you are a woman

638
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.119
who has visited the home of Eric Bowman on Sullivan's Island,

639
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.800
South Carolina, or if you're a woman who has visited

640
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:13.639
the properties owned by Patrick Bryan and Brian Musgrave on

641
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:16.880
Isola Palms, South Carolina. If you're a female employee of

642
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:20.000
Patrick Bryant or either wife, or you are the wife

643
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.159
of a male employee who works for him at any

644
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.440
one of his companies headquartered in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

645
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:28.079
Or if you're an underage girl anywhere near Patrick Bryant,

646
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:30.960
or if you've been anywhere near Patrick Bryan or Eric

647
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:33.320
Bowman where there's been a cell phone, recording device or

648
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:35.760
any recording device or camera, Or if you believe you

649
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.639
may have been dragged or incapacitated, raped, filmed and photograph

650
00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.760
without your knowledge, permission, or consent by one or more

651
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:43.480
of these men. If you believe you may be a

652
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.239
victim of the crimes I've described today, we set up

653
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:49.039
a hotline for you if you will call our texts

654
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:51.679
eight four three two one two seven zero four eight.

655
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.800
When I see a problem, I will do anything to

656
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.639
fix it. You can call or text us. Like so

657
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:03.199
many women, I've suffered tremendous consequences to my physical health.

658
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.400
I've been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. I live

659
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:11.800
looking over my shoulder. I endure sleepless nights. I have

660
00:50:11.800 --> 00:50:16.639
a former vertigo related to my PTSD, nightmares and the

661
00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:20.400
adverse health issues linger fourteen months after this traumatic event,

662
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:25.800
deeply traumatic event, I hit rock bottom last year, but

663
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:28.320
as Phoenix rose from the ashes, I too and coming

664
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:34.519
back to life. My breakdown was my breakthrough, my devastation

665
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:42.000
was my deliverance, and my God was my grace. I

666
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:44.559
want to thank my children who are watching tonight. I

667
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:47.519
want to thank my family. My mom is here tonight,

668
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:56.119
She's up here. I love you. Thank you. I want

669
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.559
to thank the Medical University of South Carolina for having

670
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:00.679
one of the best sexual abuse trump i'ma centers in

671
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:07.679
the country. You saved my life and countless others, including

672
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:10.280
some of the victims who are here tonight. To the

673
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.599
women behind the scenes who shared their horror stories and

674
00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:16.440
who now lurk in the shadows out of real, terrifying

675
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.840
fear about coming forward. I want to thank you too

676
00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:25.239
for your quiet courage. You know who you are, and

677
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:32.119
you inspired me. You inspired me to keep going today

678
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:34.400
as I'm standing here not just as a member of Congress,

679
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:37.320
but as a woman and as a survivor fighting as

680
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:44.199
hard as hard as I can for other survivors. I'm

681
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.599
going to put this sticker on. My staff made it

682
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:50.159
for me today, for me tonight, and it says in

683
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:55.360
bold letters, it says survivor. And I'm going to ask

684
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:59.199
the sticker. We have many guests to night, including some victims,

685
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:01.800
going to ask those who are here on the floor

686
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.960
tonight to put the sticker on and the lapelpins we

687
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:09.280
made tonight a say survivor I will be the loudest

688
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:12.599
voice for those four usd to stay silent, living through

689
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:14.800
my trauma and helping other women through there as all

690
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:18.440
of us victims of crimes we didn't know had been committed,

691
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:25.039
our bodies violated in weighs none of us could comprehend.

692
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:28.480
Today is about justice and the belief we should do better,

693
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:33.880
and we can do better for every single woman and girl.

694
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:36.360
I don't want to hear a single excuse about what

695
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:38.159
we can do for women. We can do it, and

696
00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:41.239
we can do it now. To anyone doing business with

697
00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:45.280
these men, know who you are doing business with some

698
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:49.719
of the properties, Well, you're doing business with rapists, you're

699
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.639
doing business with sex traffickers, and you're doing business with

700
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:56.320
peeping toms. Some of the properties where these crimes took

701
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:58.719
place are listed on certain short term rental sites like

702
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:02.840
Airbnb and VRBA. Oh. I say this because there may

703
00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:05.639
have been hiding cameras in the properties in which these

704
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:09.599
crimes took place. Some of the companies these predators are

705
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:13.360
involved with have had or trying to or might have

706
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:16.960
now government contracts with federal and state and local governments.

707
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:22.880
The government should not do business with rapists, sex traffickers

708
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:29.599
and peeping toms. I have many unanswered questions tonight. Were

709
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:35.360
any children endangered? Were any children raped? Were any underage

710
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:40.360
girls victims? Did any children witness rape? Are there still

711
00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:44.079
underaged children at the physical property? Or the rapes occurred?

712
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:47.239
How many recordings were taken of women on all these

713
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:50.960
devices by all these men I found several devices? Were

714
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.760
the recordings I saw of myself and all these women

715
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:57.760
sold on the dark web? How many women were raped

716
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:02.320
by these men? Who are all the victims of all

717
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:07.039
of these men? And will the victims? Will these women

718
00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:13.599
ever know? Had I never found out I was a victim,

719
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:18.039
I would never have known to dig deep to find

720
00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:24.719
other victims. To the victims here tonight in the gallery,

721
00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:31.519
to the victims watching, my heart bleeds with yours, we

722
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:36.599
are one, We are the same, We are survivors together,

723
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:43.400
and I will always always be there for you no

724
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:47.239
matter what. Today I stand defiant with my fists in

725
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:50.920
the air to say, as loudly and as boldly as

726
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:54.519
I can say, I have the courage, I have the strength,

727
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:57.679
and I have the resilience to take on the challenges

728
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.880
of this moment. And to the naysay, who are out

729
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.920
there online, on the web, in the press today, living

730
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:10.719
in my past, I want you to know I don't

731
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:19.480
live there anymore, and your lies will never ever break me.

732
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.840
And Genesis nineteen twenty six, when Lot and his wife

733
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.000
were fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, God said, don't look back.

734
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:37.639
Lot's wife looked back. She turned right into dust because

735
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:43.239
she looked back when God said not to. Today, I am free. Today,

736
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:48.719
I'm moving forward, and today I am never looking back.

737
00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:52.440
Let's leave a legacy for our children that they can

738
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:56.400
be proud of a legacy of courage, a legacy of compassion,

739
00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:02.920
and a legacy of unyielding justice. Truth doesn't cause the

740
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:09.199
same fear as spin. Truth is peaceful, even in all

741
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:15.199
of its awful and heinous brutality. To the victims of

742
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:20.199
these predators, I pray for your protection, I pray for

743
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:28.239
your courage, and I pray for your resilience. In Ecclesiastes four,

744
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:31.320
it talks about the strength of a rope, how it's

745
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:35.800
easily not broken. With one strand of a rope, you're weak,

746
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:39.760
you won't survive. Two strands of rope are better than one.

747
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:42.280
But even then it's not the best. But when you

748
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:48.119
have three strands of a rope, you cannot be broken.

749
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.280
So to the women tonight, the victims of these crimes,

750
00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:56.119
to women everywhere, women and girls all across the country,

751
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:00.159
I want you to know you have the courage and

752
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.599
you have the bravery necessary, the courage required, and the

753
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.840
voice needed in times like these to hold those accountable

754
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:14.400
for the horrific abuses against you. Proverbs twenty seven seventeen

755
00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:21.039
says iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. I

756
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:24.760
want to thank the citadel for being the iron that

757
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:30.559
sharpened me in my youth. There is power and the

758
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:38.000
brokenness we feel. Ladies, find your death goddess. Find that

759
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:43.400
death Goddess energy and use it. It's hard to explain

760
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:46.880
to others who haven't been in this place, who haven't

761
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:50.280
hit rock bottom, But for those of us that have

762
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:58.880
this death Goddess energy is un mistakable and it's unstoppable.

763
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:05.039
We don't don't cower, we don't hide, and we don't

764
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:11.719
sh shrink. We stand tall and we rise. We are

765
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:21.159
not destroyed. We say no more. We fight back, and

766
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:25.679
when we feel defeated, we fight harder. And when we

767
00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:31.719
need nourishment, we seek God's wisdom Your wound is my wound.

768
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:34.159
Your wound is our wound. Your pain is our pain,

769
00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:41.280
and your fear is our fear. This is who you are,

770
00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:47.880
This is your spirit, and this is your superpower. No.

771
00:58:48.039 --> 00:58:51.280
I am standing on the battlefield with you. No I

772
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:55.800
am standing in the trenches with you. No I'm standing

773
00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:58.559
and your fight with you.

774
00:58:58.639 --> 00:58:58.880
No.

775
00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:04.960
I will always be your iron. May God bless the

776
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:08.960
women who fell victim to the abuse of these monsters.

777
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:13.320
May God bless the great state of South Carolina, and

778
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:16.559
may God bless the United States of America and every

779
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:19.360
single woman and girl out there today. In my most

780
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:22.320
humble voice, mister speaker, I yield back.

781
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:26.159
So there you have it for the wrecker. Patrick Bryant

782
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:31.880
responded to this and categorically denied all the allegations, saying quote,

783
00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:35.800
I will cooperate fully with any necessary legal processes to

784
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:39.039
clear my name. Eric Bowman said he intended to fight

785
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:43.559
the accusations in court, saying quote, I unequivocally deny all

786
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:48.239
the allegations made against me, which are baseless, repugnant, in defamatory.

787
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:53.360
John Osborne said, quote the claims or categorically untrue, and

788
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:57.639
it is completely unfair to be looped into such accusations

789
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:01.840
from her and Brian Musgrove responded by saying, quote, this

790
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:06.960
is a dangerous mix of falsehoods and baseless accusations, recklessly

791
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:11.920
leveled at four individuals without a shred of evidence. And

792
01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.440
obviously in that statement she accused the AG's office of

793
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:17.880
kind of slow walking this thing, as well as SLED.

794
01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:23.000
The AG's office in South Carolina also responded saying the

795
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:26.519
claims were categorically false, stating and had not received any

796
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:31.679
request or reports from law enforcement or prosecution agencies about

797
01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:36.039
the allegations. The State Law Enforcement Division known as SLED,

798
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:40.679
and you may recognize SLED from the Mertall series. They

799
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:43.960
did say they opened an investigation in December of twenty

800
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:48.599
twenty three regarding allegations of assault, harassment, and voyeurism after

801
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:52.679
being contacted by US Capitol Police. The agency said it

802
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:56.480
conducted multiple interviews since December of twenty twenty three and

803
01:00:56.559 --> 01:01:00.440
will send the investigation to a prosecutor for review once

804
01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:03.519
it's completed. Now this is over a year later, how

805
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:07.559
long does it take. I don't blame Mace for thinking

806
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:11.440
this whole deal has been slow walked, and of course

807
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:15.039
she credits that to the prominence of those accused, and

808
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:18.880
we see that all the time in the episodes that

809
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:23.360
I cover. Now, again, the allegations here are just that allegations.

810
01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:29.760
But damn Nancy Mace went hard and I will keep

811
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:34.960
you updated. This one was just too wild to not

812
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:47.880
release as soon as possible. Now, this has been a

813
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:51.280
special emergency drop, and if you have not done so,

814
01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:55.440
wherever you're listening, you can subscribe so you get updates

815
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:59.639
on these emergency drops as they become available. I do

816
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:03.320
these white often. Now, depending on the app you listen through,

817
01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:05.559
there should be a way to set the app up

818
01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:09.599
so it automatically informs you of new episodes. Thank you

819
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:12.599
so much for listening. Shout out to all my patrons,

820
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:16.079
much love to all of you, and until next time

821
01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:21.079
for exposed scandalous files of the Elite, I'm your host,

822
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:23.400
Jim Chapman, much love,
