Republican representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina displayed her nude photo during a hearing at House oversight subcommittee hearing on "surveillance in private spaces". "Today I will show my naked body on one of the videos predator and rapist Patrick Bryant took of me and many other women. Without our knowledge. Without our permission. And without our consent," Nancy Mace announced earlier. The Republican leader accused her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant and three other men of rape, sex trafickking and non-consensually filming sex acts including hers.
"I speak not just as a lawmaker, but as a survivor. Starting on November 5, 2023, I discovered my former fiancé, Patrick Bryant, had filmed women without their knowledge, without their permission and without their consent. He filmed rape too. He appeared to catalogue the footage in the way he saved the files. And he stored these images for years. This isn’t just creepy. It’s criminal—but only under weak state laws," she said as she spoke in front of the committee.
She produced her picture first and said it was a screenshot of her naked silhouette, which was filed in secret. "The camera sat silent, yet it screamed my safety was negotiable and my dignity disposable," she said as sh went on to produced photos of the building, the camera that had over 10,000 videos saved on it.
"These weren’t accidents. They were premeditated. Planned. Filmed. Stored. Meticulously Organized. Catalogued. Private hidden folder. For YEARS. I would learn after finding these images, and speaking to potential victims, Bryant allegedly raped at least three women," Nancy Mace said.
"Predators like Patrick Bryant don’t ask permission, and neither should justice. A hidden camera does not erase liberty and doesn’t deserve a slap on the wrist. Justice also does not crawl out of a plea deal, it arrives in a sentence that fits the crime and restores the victim," the Republican leader said.

Real men guard a woman’s privacy; predators harvest it.

In my Oversight hearing today I’m going to expose predator and rapist Patrick Bryant for the monster he is. With evidence. Naked bodies. Legs spread apart. Upskirt photos. The kinds of things he would film and photograph… pic.twitter.com/12yh1wqTIv
