Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Rock Maine Senate Campaign. A disturbing new report from Politico has surfaced, claiming that Graham Platner, a candidate vying for a seat in the Maine Senate, allegedly committed a serious act of misconduct during a past relationship. According to the report, Platner, who was intoxicated at the time, forced his ex-partner to engage in sex after she had explicitly told him to stop. The allegations, if true, raise serious questions about Platner's character and his fitness for public office, potentially derailing his campaign just as it was gaining momentum.
