A second woman has come forward accusing Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of sexual assault, alleging he repeatedly removed condoms during sex without her consent.
Conservative commentator Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner between 2013 and 2014, told The Washington Post that Platner would secretly pull condoms off during intercourse after she told him she was not on birth control.
“He would pull condoms off. He would do it in a sneaky way. He wouldn’t tell me.”
Fifield claimed the incidents happened an estimated six times. When she confronted him, she said he would laugh it off.
“I confronted him both during and after [sex] because he knew that I was not on birth control and how dangerous that was,” Fifield said.
“He would act like cute about it, like ‘Oh sneaky me,'” she added.
The act, known as “stealthing,” is classified as sexual assault in several countries including Britain, Canada, and parts of Australia. Maine, California, and Washington state have laws addressing nonconsensual condom removal.
At least one close friend of Fifield, Emily Zanotti, confirmed that Fifield shared this information with her after the relationship with Platner ended.
The Platner campaign denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false and politically motivated.” The campaign noted that Fifield supported Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, when Kavanaugh faced sexual assault accusations from Christine Blasey Ford.
Fifield’s accusation comes after Jenny Racicot accused Platner on Monday of sexually assaulting her in 2021. Scores of Democrats have called for Platner to withdraw from the race to unseat Republican Senator Susan Collins, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), his most loyal advocate.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called for Platner to withdraw — but was confronted on CNBC for having previously referred to him as “my kinda man” despite him having a confirmed Nazi chest tattoo.
Platner is running to challenge Collins in Maine’s U.S. Senate race.
I asked Senator Warren why she campaigned with Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner and called him “my kinda man!”… when he had a chest tattoo of a Nazi symbol, allegedly said people concerned about rape should “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—-ked up…
