Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex
Lyndsey Fifield says Platner removed condoms during sex on multiple occasions, adding to pressure on the Maine Senate nominee after a second ex-girlfriend came forward.
- On Tuesday, Lyndsey Fifield publicly accused Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner of repeatedly removing condoms without her consent during their relationship, marking her first on-camera account of the alleged misconduct.
- Fifield's public account followed allegations from Jenny Racicot, who accused Platner of raping her while intoxicated; Racicot's bravery inspired Fifield to share her story after previously discussing it only in private.
- Emily Zanotti, a friend of Fifield, told CNN that Fifield expressed concerns years ago about Platner removing condoms during sex. Zanotti said Platner had been a "destructive force" in Fifield's life.
- Following the reports, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Maine Democrats urged Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race. Platner's political support has fallen precipitously since the allegations emerged.
- Platner has denied the allegations, calling them "categorically false" and claiming they are politically motivated. He stated he would "reflect on the best path forward" regarding his campaign.
