The Maine Democratic Senate candidate, Graham Platner, is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct from a former partner, Jenny Racicot, who detailed a traumatic incident from 2021. Racicot's account of Platner entering her home uninvited and assaulting her while she repeatedly asked him to stop is disturbing and has raised significant concerns about his conduct.
