A woman who dated Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections, an allegation Platner denies.
The woman, a 41-year-old Maine resident named Jenny Racicot, detailed the alleged incident to POLITICO in three interviews over the past two weeks. POLITICO also spoke with a man Racicot dated and confided in the years after the alleged incident, and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist and messages between Racicot and an acquaintance whom she warned against getting involved with Platner years before he ran for office.
Racicot said she had an on-and-off relationship with Platner, who is now the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, for more than two years before he entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She said she cut off contact with him after telling him the encounter was not consensual.
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” she said. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’”
Probably gonna get hate for this but I am willing to work with pedos. That’s only because it’s more about leftist putting people into power to enact the will of the working class and their characters don’t matter too much.
That being said planter should have approached the his accuser prior to running or early in the campaign trail, just to avoid campaign derailment or if they’re a victim apologize for what they did and put people above politics.
Planter response video was just awful. Just denied and deflected instead of going into detail about the accusations and how they could be false.
She told him to never speak to her again. No, he shouldn’t have pressured his rape victim before he ran for a government position. What is wrong with you?
Yeah, the hate is deserved.
Why do you want the rape victim to be pressured? I wanted platner to address his past.
I deserve hate for telling Zionist they’re awful people. But it’s actually reasonable to work with pedophiles, but you’re gonna crash out
She told him to never speak to her again, but you’ve already made it clear that you support ignoring women’s boundaries.
Thanks for the conceding. I like that accusations since is way more tame than me pressuring women.
Plus it would have been worth an email/dm for platner to say he’s sorry about the alleged rape he committed and that as a human being make an attempt to make up for it, but that’s under the assumption that what the accuser says is 100% true and platner denial is false.
It could be false rape accusation idk. I do know platners response was pretty awful
I didn’t concede to your disgusting takes.
You did and I even explained how you concede, but throw all the false accusations you want. You’ll just realize your the villain and I’m out here looking out for the working class

Well you better start killing those Pedophiles.
Also why are you quoting what I said after that you a pussy? Btw mods ain’t gonna do anything to me because you’re sending death threats
For no reason whatsoever:
Just a heads up folk, any time you see someone with a comically bad take on social media, particularly on lemmy, that makes you wonder if the stereotype about leftists being too dumb to live is true? Take a look at what instance they are from. The shitjustworks instance seems to be full of conservatives cosplaying as lefties. Which… is fascinating that anyone would care enough to “infiltrate” lemmy.
