Alameda DA Reviews Swalwell Sexual Assault Allegations

0:00It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is California News today, your AI-powered local news. Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones-Dixon is reviewing sexual assault allegations against former Congressman Eric Swalwell to see if any. Crimes happened in her jurisdiction. Swalwell represented California's 14th District here for over 12 years until he resigned until he resigned on April 14th, 2026, after women. Even forward with claims, her office wants to check if charges can be filed based on local incidents. Swalwell worked as a prosecutor in the Alameda County DA's office from 2006 to 2012, and later served on the Dublin City Council. One woman told the San Francisco Chronicle she met him at a Pleasanton State House in 2019 when she was 21 and newly hired in his district office. She claims he bought her drinks, she blacked out, and woke up naked in his hotel room, believing she'd been assaulted.

1:01Jones-Dixon held a press conference in Oakland this week, urging any victims the contact law enforcement directly and stressing their rights to, privacy and respect. Her opponent in the June primary, Pamela Price, Fireback Hard, calling Swalwell a predator and accusing Jones-Dixon of a conflict due to their shared DA history and past endorsements. Price, who got recalled as DA in 2024, set up a hotline for tips and demanded Jones-Dixon hand the case to State Attorney General Rob. Bonta. Jones-Dixon shot that down, saying the hotline is an official law enforcement and lacks confidentiality. Swalwell and Price have clashed before, with him criticizing her policies during the recall. Right now, no one's come forward directly to the DA with county-specific claims against Swalwell from his prosecutor days, but the review continues. Jones-Dixon listed survivor resources like the Family Justice Center, making clear politics won't override justice in this race.
