Nancy Mace’s former fiancé, Patrick Bryant, along with two of his business associates, John Douglas Osborne and Eric Bernard Bowman, were charged with sex crimes and voyeurism on October 14, 2026. The charges stem from an incident involving a 23-year-old woman who was incapacitated and intoxicated, during which Osborne allegedly committed sex acts while Bryant and Bowman observed. These details were previously highlighted by Representative Mace in a speech on the House floor in February 2025, where she discussed the inadequate investigation of crimes against women. The charges were brought by the South Carolina state law enforcement division based on sworn statements from agents.
