Fifield, 41, is the second woman to allege this week that Platner engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct. Jenny Racicot, 41, who said she previously dated Platner, told The Post and other outlets on Monday that he sexually assaulted her in late 2021, leading a growing number of allies to drop their endorsements and call on him to withdraw from the race for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), his most influential and prominent supporter, said he spoke with Platner on Tuesday and urged him to withdraw from his campaign to unseat Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.
Platner, 41, a Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer, also denied Racicot’s allegation but said on Monday that he was “mindful of the political reality” that the reporting will “inflict” on his campaign and was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.”
Fifield initially told The Post about the alleged condom removal during a June 20 interview that was off the record. She said she decided to speak publicly about it Tuesday in part because, she said, she wanted to show that Racicot was not alone in experiencing issues with Platner involving sexual consent.


Pretty sure this happened only 5 years ago in 2021. And no, I don’t think that’s enough time to change enough as a person to be trusted with a seat in the Senate personally.
I absolutely agree. He should have never been chosen to begin with considering his complete history.
He dated Fifield (the one accusing him of removing condoms) over 13 years ago. I thought the rape allegation are also from decade ago but you’re right, it was 5 years ago. So yeah, looks like he didn’t change.
FYI, the other allegations are also rape.
He entered her home without her knowing, then forced himself on her despite her telling him over and over that she didn’t want it.
He also came inside her after she explicitly asked him not to (she wasn’t on birth control).
Dude is a fucking Nazi rapist. We should be relieved that this came out.
