Ex-girlfriend alleges Platner removed condom during sex without consent

Lyndsey Fifield, a woman who previously accused Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner of violent behavior in a New York Times article last month, has alleged that the oyster farmer had sex with her without protection without receiving consent to do so.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Fifield, an ex-girlfriend of Platner, said he took off protection during sex multiple times with no consent.

“He would pull condoms off,” Fifield told the Post. “He would do it in a sneaky way.

“Jenny also talked about unprotected sex as something she didn’t want to happen that he made happen,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said in an interview with Fifield that aired Tuesday on “The Lead,” referencing another woman who has accused Platner of rape. “Is that something you experienced?” Tapper asked.
