- Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing new allegations from an ex-girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, who claims he repeatedly removed condoms during sex without her consent, a practice known as 'stealthing'.
- Fifield, who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, told The Washington Post that he did this at least six times and she confronted him about the behavior.
- Platner's campaign has dismissed Fifield's accusation as 'categorically false and politically motivated,' highlighting her background in conservative politics.
- These new claims follow previous sexual assault allegations against Platner by another ex-girlfriend, Jenny Racicot, and earlier accusations from Fifield of threatening physical conduct.
- Amid these controversies, prominent figures like Senator Bernie Sanders have urged Platner to withdraw from the Senate race, adding to a history of scandals, including a Nazi-symbol tattoo and profane Reddit posts.
