Rep. Scott Peters, D-Poway, has withdrawn his support for Rep. Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial candidacy after at least four women have accused him of sexual misconduct, including a former staffer. Peters joined the growing chorus of calls for Swalworth to resign from the race. The allegations were made in the San Francisco Chronicle after it published a story alleging that a female employee had a consensual relationship with the married congressman, including sexual encounters with him while working for him. Later in the day, CNN reported three more women had accused Swallwell of sexual abuse, including sending unsolicited nude photos. Other California elected officials have urged Swalway to withdraw from the governor's race and resign from Congress.
