On September 21, 2026, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office sex crimes unit announced it is evaluating whether to file criminal charges against former U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell after an investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department victims’ unit.
Swalwell resigned from Congress in April 2026 and later withdrew from the California governor’s race after allegations emerged. The sheriff’s victims’ unit completed its inquiry and sent the case to the district attorney’s office for review.
