Rep. Nancy Mace Responds To Explosive Jane Doe Complaint (Amended)

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Today Jane Doe amended her original complaint against some of the predators mentioned in Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s floor speech earlier this year. Mace is a key witness in a sexual assault investigation that continues to uncover a disturbing campaign of retaliation, defamation, perjury and judicial abuse. 

“Imagine creating a company just so you can commit perjury,” said Congresswoman Mace. “These lies are not only defamatory, they’re dangerous. They attempt to intimidate witnesses, derail a criminal investigation, and protect predators credibly accused of orchestrating and filming the sexual assault of an unconscious woman.”

In an amended complaint filed on June 11, 2025, new allegations implicate political consultant Wesley Donehue and a recently formed shell company, GLT 2, LLC and Patrick Bryant, in a coordinated effort to interfere with a criminal investigation and discredit Mace as a key witness for the Plaintiff, Jane Doe.

Mace, who first discovered graphic evidence of a sexual assault on Patrick Bryant’s phone in November 2023, immediately reported the material to the authorities. She met with the FBI, U.S. Attorney and SLED in 2023. SLED then launched an investigation.

According to the newly amended complaint, GLT 2 was formed by Bryant just ten days after Mace publicly revealed some of what she uncovered in a US House of Representatives floor speech supporting the “Stop VOYEURS Act” and several other bills she has drafted to protect victims.

The company allegedly exists solely to conduct pretextual depositions and disseminate false information, violating South Carolina’s rules of civil procedure. Within 24 hours of its formation, GLT 2 filed a petition for discovery that failed to meet basic legal standards. Despite never receiving court authorization, GLT 2 proceeded to depose Wesley Donehue on April 28, 2025.

During that unauthorized deposition, Donehue—a longtime Bryant associate and former Mace consultant—falsely accused Mace of attempting to blackmail Bryant with the explicit material. The complaint states that Donehue alleged Mace withheld the footage from law enforcement for the better part of 2024 to coerce Bryant into giving her two jointly owned homes. These accusations are false: 

Mace turned over evidence to federal and state authorities in 2023, long before the alleged conversation with Donehue. Mace met with law enforcement and provided all evidence long before she came to an agreement with Bryant on their real estate. The investigation was well underway during the entire year 2024. 

Additionally, the most explosive part of the amended complaint documents Donehue’s alleged blackmail of Mace in December 2024. 

When the alleged attempt to blackmail Mace occurred, Mace documented it and communicated with the General Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Donehue also claimed he fired Mace because of the alleged blackmail, but the complaint reveals this is another false statement by Donehue: 

Mace requested access to her campaign website Google Analytics, and Donehue fired her as a client because of this request. This was documented by Mace.

The complaint alleges that GLT 2’s deposition strategy is part of a broader conspiracy, orchestrated by Bryant and his associates, to prejudice public opinion and intimidate witnesses. The transcript of Donehue’s deposition was leaked to the press, despite its illegal procurement, and contains multiple, knowingly false claims that directly impact Plaintiff Jane Doe’s right to a fair trial.

Congresswoman Mace has continued to support the victims and SLED in their investigation. She remains steadfast in her commitment to legislative action protecting victims of voyeurism and sexual violence.

As a witness for Jane Doe, Mace has already provided information to investigators and will continue cooperating fully as the investigation and case unfolds.

“This isn’t just about what happened in 2018. It’s about what powerful predators will do to silence victims, cover their tracks, and weaponize the legal system,” Mace added. “I will not be intimidated.”

HIGHLIGHTED POINTS IN AMENDED COMPLAINT

• Page 3, Bullet #8: Jane Doe adds GLT2 LLC (“GLT2”) as defendant in civil lawsuit
• Page 16, Bullet #110: “Bryant formed the shell company GLT 2 to conduct depositions for an improper purpose, namely, to disseminate false information and discredit the Plaintiff’s witnesses, thereby interfering with her right to have a fair and impartial jury in future criminal and civil proceedings.”
• Page 16, Bullet #111: “GLT2 is the alter ego of Bryant and was formed to shield Bryant from personal liability.”
• Page 16, Bullet #113: GLT2 lawsuit filed one day after forming the company.
• Page 16: The abuse of judicial process violates SCRCP 11 and FRCP 27
• Page 17, Bullet #118-119: Court hasn’t heard the case yet and GLT 2 and Brewer law firm “did not have the authority to issue a subpoena or conduct this deposition.”
