South Carolina investigators have accused Patrick Bryant, 53, Eric Bowman, 46, and John Osborne, 46, of an alleged October 2018 assault in Sullivan's Island. Bryant once planned to marry U.S. lawmaker Nancy Mace, who named the men in a February 2025 speech in Congress. Bryant says the claims are untrue. All three were taken to the Sheriff Al Cannon jail.
