Rep. Nancy Mace stood before her House colleagues Tuesday and shared what she described as a violation of her privacy and dignity. She displayed posters of black-and-white surveillance images that she says show her naked silhouette without her consent. Mace identified the person behind the camera as her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant. She told the Oversight Committee that she discovered the footage in a folder of over 10,000 images and videos from Bryant’s phone.

Mace called for tougher laws against video voyeurism while revealing her story to the committee. She said this was not just political action but personal trauma. The congresswoman previously accused Bryant in February of sexual assault and other crimes involving multiple victims including minors. Bryant denies all charges and calls the accusations malicious and politically motivated.

House Erupts As Mace Demands Accountability And Legal Reform

Bryant claims Mace is using her congressional platform to make statements she cannot legally support outside the chamber. He argued that if her claims were legitimate she would pursue them through legal routes. Mace insists her testimony is rooted in real evidence and not political convenience. She highlighted her image on the screen behind her and said she had no idea it had been captured. The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division is currently investigating the matter.

“I didn’t know that I had been filmed. I didn’t give my consent. I didn’t give my permission,” Mace declared during the hearing.

As the investigation unfolds Mace continues to fight for victims' rights while Bryant maintains his innocence and cooperation with law enforcement.
