Graham Platner released a video message denying a new allegation of sexual assault from a woman he previously dated on Monday, minutes after the release of an article detailing the woman’s accusations.
The woman, a 41-year-old Maine resident named Jenny Racicot, dated Platner in 2021 and told Politico that he entered her home uninvited while heavily intoxicated and repeatedly forced himself on her. She claimed that Platner, now running for U.S. Senate, grabbed her pelvis and “being really forceful” during the encounter.
Platner flatly denied the allegations in a video posted to X, after canceling a number of planned campaign appearances, calling the woman’s accusations “troubling, serious, and false.”
