Two women who allege they were preyed on by disgraced lefty Rep. Eric Swalwell say they decided to break their silence in a bid to prevent him from spending the next few decades harming “future victims.”

The accusers, Ally Sammarco and Annika Albrecht, told CBS News they felt partly vindicated after Swalwell (D-Calif.) abruptly resigned from Congress on Monday and dropped out of California’s gubernatorial race following the wave of sexual assault and rape claims leveled against him.

“He thought he was untouchable. He acted with total impunity. He never thought that the consequences of his actions would follow him,” Sammarco said.

“I think we just prevented another 30 to 40 years, potentially, of him harming people if he were to stay in Congress,” she continued.

“As governor, he would have had even more power and more authority. And he would have felt vindicated too, you know, that he could run for higher office.”

Albrecht, who aired her accusations for the first time in the interview, said justice wouldn’t be served for her “until he can’t ever harm a woman ever again — and he has faced the consequences for the women that he has harmed.”

The two women say their alleged encounters with Swalwell unfolded when they were both young women with hopes of working in politics.

Sammarco claims she began interacting with Swalwell in 2021, when she sent him a message on Twitter.

She said she initially felt “like a million bucks” when he promised to help further her career, but their messages quickly took a turn.

Eventually, she alleged, he sent her a photo of his genitals on Snapchat.

Albrecht, meanwhile, claims that Swalwell once tried to lure her to a hotel room after sending her pervy messages on Snapchat.

“I keep thinking about how lucky I am that I didn’t go to that hotel,” Albrecht said.

“It was very clear what the connotation was.”

Swalwell’s decision to resign caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker.

A flurry of women have come forward in recent days to accuse him of various kinds of sexual misconduct stretching back years — including sending them unsolicited X-rated messages or nude photos on Snapchat.

Despite his resignation, the disgraced congressman has continued to deny the heinous allegations.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” he said in a statement on social media.

“I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”
