Rep. Nancy Mace accused her ex-fiancé and three business partners of committing “depraved” sexual crimes against herself and a dozen other women — including underage girls — in explosive remarks in the House of Representatives Monday.

The South Carolina Republican pol said she came forward with the shocking allegations of rape, voyeurism and other sexual abuse after uncovering a trove of more than 10,000 videos and other photographic evidence contained on the phone by her former husband-to-be Patrick Bryant.

“I accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable — we are talking about rape, nonconsensual photos, nonconsensual videos of women and underage girls, and the premeditated, calculated, exploitation of women and girls in my district,” Mace said in her House floor speech.

“Today you will hear about the depraved men behind these gutless, evil acts,” she added. “These men didn’t just harm their victims; they recorded their depravity as if it were a badge of honor.”

The digital files Mace claims she discovered in November 2023 included nonconsensual images of “female employees, wives of male employees, girlfriends and other women who very clearly didn’t know their private parts were being filmed or photographed,” the congresswoman said, along with “upskirt photos” of at least one underage girl who was the daughter of a business associate.

“Last year, I had to tell a woman that she’d been raped, and she didn’t even know it,” Mace said, telling lawmakers that she discovered a video of Bryant and one of his business associates allegedly recording another business associate sexually assaulting an “incapacitated” woman.

“She had no idea because she was incapacitated at the time of the rape,” Mace said. “I knew she was raped because I accidentally found the video of her being raped.”

“The two of them, the three of them business partners, the two of them had their phones out just like this. Filming her as she was being raped. And she was completely laid out. There was no movement. There was no life. I couldn’t even tell if this young woman was alive.”

Mace, who presented no evidence during her remarks, is shielded from potential criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits by the Constitution’s speech and debate clause, which provides lawmakers with immunity for “acts taken within the legislative sphere.”

The congresswoman claims she told the state attorney general’s office that there were children present on the property where the woman was allegedly raped but that state social workers were not notified.

Mace also alleged that one of Bryant’s business associates had “tried to intimidate” her from bringing the evidence to light — and that South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson failed to probe the act as witness intimidation despite apparently opening an investigation into the sex crime allegations.

Bryant denied Mace’s allegations in a statement to the New York Times.

“I categorically deny these allegations,” he said. “I take this matter seriously and will cooperate fully with any necessary legal processes to clear my name.”

The congresswoman said it took Wilson’s office seven months from the time she first came forward with the allegations and evidence for an investigation to be opened.

With some female victims apparently listening in the House gallery, Mace went on to recount how stumbling upon her ex-fiancé on a dating app in October 2023 prompted Bryant to allow her access to his phone where she was horrified to find a video of herself “undressed” and “unaware she was being filmed.”

“I turned up the volume to hear if there was audio. I heard my voice. I zoomed in on the video. The woman was me,” Mace revealed. “My entire body paralyzed, and I couldn’t move.”

After making the terrifying discovery, she claimed that Bryant “physically assaulted” her and she was forced out of her home and “into hiding” the following month, moving in with friends and changing address at least four times in a single year.

“I still have the mark Patrick Bryant made on me. Rather than see this mark as a scar, I see this scar as the mark of a free woman; free from a monster,” Mace also said, disclosing that she had since been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“This isn’t a story about bitter ex-girlfriends … or consensual sex tapes, there are plenty of those. I don’t care what two consenting adults agree to do. That is the definition of freedom. This is a story about predators who hunt women for sport.”

Throughout the speech, Mace alleged that Wilson deliberately stalled his investigation into the sex crimes and was part of “a system which failed to protect” female victims.

“If anyone would like to arrest me for standing up for women — here are my wrists. Arrest me. Take me to jail,” she threatened. “I am 100% guilty for turning over evidence of peeping toms, of turning over evidence of rape, of turning over evidence of voyeurism, of turning over evidence of sex trafficking and who knows, probably a whole heck of a lot more and more crimes I don’t have time to get into tonight.”

“South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson — you are not a real man because real men, real men protect women,” she said with scorn.

Wilson’s office described Mace’s statements regarding the conduct of the South Carolina attorney general as “categorically false” and “politically motivated.”

“Ms. Mace either does not understand or is purposefully mischaracterizing the role of the Attorney General. At this time, our office has not received any reports or requests for assistance from any law enforcement or prosecution agencies regarding these matters. Additionally, the Attorney General and members of his office have had no role and no knowledge of these allegations until her public statements,” read a statement from the South Carolina AG’s office.

“Congresswoman Mace and the Attorney General have been at multiple events together over the last six months. She also has the Attorney General’s personal cellphone number. Not once has she approached or reached out to him regarding any of her concerns,” the statement continued.

The AG’s office noted that it would be up to local law enforcement agencies to investigate potential evidence of a crime.

Bryant and two of his alleged business partners that Mace referenced, John Osborne and Eric Bowman, did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.

Brian Musgrave, who Mace claims owned properties with Bryant with hidden cameras installed in them, called the allegations “baseless.”

“Nancy Mace’s statement tonight is a dangerous mix of falsehoods and baseless accusations, recklessly leveled at four individuals without a shred of evidence,” he told The Post.

“Her continued pattern of making inflammatory claims without proof is not only reckless but a blatant attempt to weaponize the legal system for political and personal gain,” Musgrave added.

Mace, 47, cited at least a dozen pieces of legislation she had authored to crack down on sex offenders and shield women from abuse — including her Sue VOYEURS Act, which allows for the prosecution of those who take nonconsensual sex videos of others.

“I’m sounding the alarm on predators who are still roaming the streets of South Carolina, and our chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Alan Wilson, knows it,” the Republican pol said.

“None of this is conjecture. These are not allegations. These are facts. It is documented,” Mace said of her claims.
