Three of the men U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace accused on the House floor of sexual crimes were arrested Wednesday. The charges align with accusations in a civil lawsuit filed after the speech. An attorney for one of the men said his client's innocent. The other two, who include Mace’s ex-fiancé, have previously denied the allegations but did not return Skylar’s calls yesterday.
