Explosive sexual assault allegation rocks Platner campaign ahead of key deadline in crucial Senate race
Fox News ^ | Andrew Mark Miller , Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 07/06/2026 3:28:45 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Speculation is swirling on social media about the future of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after several of his events were canceled over the weekend shortly before an explosive report on Monday afternoon contained an allegation of rape from a woman he previously dated.

Maine resident Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico over the course of three interviews that Platner forced her to have sex five years ago against her will, a claim that Platner denied in the story. Additionally, the report says that a man Raciot dated afterward confirmed she had told him about the incident, which was also corroborated by emails between Racicot and her therapist.

"I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me," Racicot told the outlet about the incident, which allegedly took place while Platner was "almost blackout drunk." "I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’"

Racicot alleges that Platner entered her home uninvited and forced her to have unprotected sex despite her telling him to stop multiple times.

Racicot said in the report that "one of the reasons" she didn't come forward until now was the "huge moral conflict" she had between her support of Platner's politics and not supporting him "as a person."

"I just want the truth out there," Racicot said. "I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person."

So, she had a “huge moral conflict”, but didn’t go public for FIVE f’n years? Must not have been that huge until the DNC decided that the Nazi had to go. How convenient. I suspect that Jenny is considerably more well off financially than she was a week ago.

“entered her home uninvited”

I typically lock my door after I enter.

I used to lock my mother out if I entered first. It was a habitual action, but my mother got miffed.

I don’t know – – check out the article.

Lots of people have withdrawn their support for him; he has canceled all his campaign appearances and has nothing else on the schedule.

I think he’s a goner.

page from E. Jean Carroll’s playbook. No police report, no date, no year, no witnesses, no proof ...

“the report says that a man Raciot dated afterward confirmed she had told him about the incident, which was also corroborated by emails between Racicot and her therapist.”

Unless he was already a candidate, he’ll be as cooked as a lobster ever gets.

"her support of Platner's politics"

IOW, Platner can rape her mind with his Nazi-socialist politics, but she objects to Platner raping her body.

ABC News showed a clip with her. She sounds believable in my view.

Explosive sexual assault allegation

I've never had explosive sex, but I'll try anything once.

Yawn. Rape charges against this scum wad are not explosive. I don’t know why he’s cancelling appearances, but I hardly think this charge will do him any harm.

Perhaps the PTB know there are more and worse skeletons in his closet and they are pushing him out.

"Do you smoke after sex?"

 

"Nah... I've never gone that fast."

Charges like this would stick to a Republican.
Charges like this would bounce right off a Democrat.

Now we get to find out how charges like this work against a Nazi.
