Summary
Lyndsey Fifield told The Washington Post that Graham Platner repeatedly removed condoms without her consent during sex while they dated in Washington from 2013 to 2015.
Fifield said she had told Platner multiple times he had to use condoms because she was not on birth control, making the alleged removals a direct violation of her stated condition for sex.
Platner’s campaign called the allegation "categorically false and politically motivated" as the Democratic Senate candidate faces intensifying scrutiny.
The new accusation adds to Fifield’s earlier claims that Platner physically abused her, widening the controversy around his Maine Senate bid.
