Rep. Nancy Mace Faces Defamation Lawsuit Over Sexual Abuse Allegations

Brian Musgrave, one of four men accused by Mace in a House floor speech, denies the claims and seeks damages in federal court.

Rep. Nancy Mace accused four men, including her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant and Brian Musgrave, of sexual abuse and voyeurism during a House floor speech in February.
Musgrave has filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming Mace's accusations are false and have damaged his reputation and personal life.
Mace alleged she discovered over 10,000 photos and videos of sexual assaults, including some involving herself, on her ex-fiancé's phone.
Musgrave denies all allegations, stating he had no involvement with the alleged crimes and was unaware of the camera reportedly installed on the shared property.
The lawsuit challenges Mace's reliance on the Speech and Debate Clause, focusing on statements made outside the House floor, including social media posts and press materials.
