Mace vs. the Solicitor: the campaign against the prosecutor in her own cases (2025)
Beginning in June 2025, Rep. Nancy Mace publicly accused Ninth Judicial Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson, the elected chief prosecutor whose circuit would handle the cases arising from Mace's own allegations, of leaking evidence, 'obstruct[ing] the investigation,' and protecting an abuser, and demanded Wilson recuse, be removed from all domestic-violence prosecutions, and face a state investigation. Wilson denied wrongdoing, noted SLED ran the investigation, and said the disclosure Mace called a 'leak' was a discovery obligation required by law. The Post and Courier reported Mace's office provided no evidence for the obstruction claim when asked. Allegations on all sides are unproven and contested.

The 'PREDATORS' poster outside her office (Feb.-Nov. 2025)
After her February 10, 2025 House floor speech, Rep. Nancy Mace turned the prop into a fixture: a 'PREDATORS, STAY AWAY FROM' poster bearing the photos, names, and home towns of four named private citizens, which she mounted in the public hallway outside her Longworth office and pushed to her official social-media accounts. It stayed up for weeks, came down in late March 2025 (her press secretary said he knew nothing about its removal), and she revived the motif at a May 2025 Oversight hearing and again in November 2025, 'this will reside outside my office at the Capitol.' Photographs taken March 5, 2025 in the corridor outside her Longworth office show the board displayed alongside a companion 'NANCY MACE PROTECTS WOMEN' board listing her women's-safety bills. The four men deny every allegation; no criminal charges have been filed; the matters are contested, unproven, and in ongoing litigation.

The hacking allegation: 'I hacked into his computer and phone'
A sworn affidavit by South Carolina journalist Ashleigh Messervy attests that at a private August 28, 2024 meeting, Rep. Nancy Mace, after explaining she 'used to be a programmer,' told her: 'I hacked into his [Patrick's] computer and phone.' In her own court filings Mace denies that she 'hacked' the phone, saying her former fiance gave her express permission, added her thumbprint, and told her she could access it whenever she wanted, though she admits she accessed the hidden folders on his phone using a four-digit code. The word, and whether it fits the conduct, is contested; the matters remain unproven and in ongoing litigation.
