Ex-Girlfriend Accuses Graham Platner of Sexual Assault

Virginia Grace McKinnon

Graham Platner, Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine, has been accused of sexual assault by his ex-girlfriend. Platner has denied the allegations.

As first reported by Politico, 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot dated Platner nearly five years ago. Over the course of three detailed interviews spanning two weeks, she detailed the 2021 alleged assault.

“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot told Politico. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice,’” she continued.

Racicot explained the night in detail. She had told him not to come over, but he let himself into her unlocked house. She said she could smell the alcohol on his breath and believed he was “almost blackout drunk.” She tried to separate herself from him, but he followed her to her bedroom, where he reportedly had sex with her.
