In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Monday Jenny Racicot said that Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, entered her home without permission and raped her when they were in a casual dating relationship. Racicot said the incident happened five years ago while Platner was heavily intoxicated. Platner and his campaign denied the allegations, saying, “These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”
