Nancy Mace accused her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant and three other men of sexual assault, which they all denied. Her story captivated the nation when she presented a nude photo of herself in Congress during a hearing in May 2025 with the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Innovation in Government, which she said was done by Bryant.
Below you will learn more about Bryant, his past relationship with Mace, and his response to her accusations.
Bryant is an entrepreneur who co-founded Code/+/Trust, a software development firm in Charleston, South Carolina, according to his LinkedIn. Additionally, Bryant is a business partner in the human resources management company Teamphoria, and he co-founded the video streaming service Go To Team.
Mace and Bryant were engaged from 2022 to 2023 when they broke up. Not much else is known about their past relationship, but Mace accused Bryant of sexual assault.
Mace presented her allegations of sexual assault against Bryant and three other men in the House of Representatives in February 2025. Three months later, she showed a nude photo of herself in Congress during a hearing, claiming that her ex-fiancé had a picture of her and other women who were victims of sexual assault in a digital cache.
«I would run through a brick wall to protect women and girls in South Carolina and other potential victims», - Mace said in her address to Congress. «I want you to know that I stand behind you».
In response to her accusations, Bryant stated that he «categorically denies the false and outrageous claims made by Nancy Mace», - according to The Independent.
«I have never raped anyone. I have never hidden cameras. I have never harmed any woman. These accusations are not just false. They are malicious and deeply personal», - Bryant said. «My mistake was loving and trusting someone who later used our relationship as a weapon».
Bryant also accused Mace of making these accusations «only while standing in Congress, supposedly protected by legal immunity», - and added, «If she believed them to be true, and there was evidence to support her claims, she would say them outside the chamber, outside her public role and protection, and pursue them through proper legal channels».
