Maine's Democratic nominee for the Senate, Graham Platner, is facing yet another scandal after a woman publicly accused him of sexually assaulting her during an encounter in 2021, allegations the candidate has categorically denied as he weighs the future of his campaign.
The allegations were first reported by Politico, which interviewed Jenny Racicot, a Maine woman who said she had been involved in an on-and-off romantic relationship with Platner. Racicot alleged that Platner entered her home while intoxicated and forced her to have sex despite her repeated objections.
