  • There's some real conspiracy theory shit brewing here. Talk about the text messages being made up by Israel and whatnot. It's a little much considering the most believable part of this story is that a man got drunk and forced himself on the woman he was seeing at the time.

  • As a mainer, and a progressive, this is like the ending to "Ol' Yeller."

  • It's neat to tell rape victims they're liars just because you want your guy to win.

  • I grabbed the wrong part of your comment to quote, it's corrected now.

    I doubt this woman gets a fair trial at this point to be honest.

    Have the day you deserve after working so hard to discredit this woman.

  • There are people seriously pushing here that because this woman is conservative she must be lying.

    I believe her.

  • I’m so sick of the Democrats caving for every little scandal.

    Yeah the solution is to elect more rapists. /s

    While Republicans knowingly put pedophiles in office they don’t give a f***

    You want the left to not give a fuck in the same way?

  • Platner is the idiot who had these skeletons in his closet and thought they wouldn’t get dragged out. that alone should be disqualifying, nevermind the fact that there is good evidence (which you don’t like so wahhahaha crybaby cry!)

    That's exactly right - this woman told him directly that he raped her. Even if he didn't feel the same, he knew that this was hiding in his past.

  • Again, Platner could release his side of the conversations. I wonder how much different his texts are from what his victim is saying about that night.

    It is still evidence whether you want it to be or not.

  • Rapists are very rarely convicted in court.

    98% of perpetrators walk free.

    For every 1000 sexual assaults, 50 reports lead to arrests, 28 cases lead to felony convictions, and only 25 perpetrators are sentenced to incarceration.

  • Platner could release his side of the Instagram messages.

    He could release his side of the text messages from the night in question as well for that matter.

  • You are spreading misinformation. Please read the actual NYTimes and Politico articles carefully. There is one and only one piece of contemporary evidence - screenshots of facebook messages that could have been easily photoshopped. And the name of the person they were sent to was kept secret.

    That’s it. Literally everything else has either been deleted or is more recent. The therapist notes are recent.

    Just because you don't know the names of the friend and ex-boyfriend doesn't mean they are completely unknown or that they are not credible. Likewise, the therapist's notes are still evidence.

    His quote speaks to how he views rape victims which is relevant.

  • Should you be fired from your job, immediately and without trial, if one of your exes comes out of the woodwork to accuse you of something

    If there's evidence from multiple people and text messages and therapist notes all from before a run for a government position that indicates you have a problem with boundaries and sexual assault, yes.

    Or maybe you prefer Platner's approach to talking to rape victims:

    “Holy fuck, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for fucks sake.”

  • Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her

  • Should Platner take his own advice then?

    “Holy fuck, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so fucked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for fucks sake.”

  • The problem is he was an anti-immigrant republican back then

    And Platner went on several tours in Afghanistan including as a voluntary contractor.

  • He should also have other women in his life that he’s dated speak on his character.

    We've already heard from other women in his life and y'all soundly rejected what they had to say.

    Warrants to get the cell phone pings of his location, the instagram data that was supposedly deleted can still be retrieved.

    Gonna call the victim's evidence weak and then posit that this will exonerate him? All the instagram data is her messages to him. If he didn't delete his side, he could produce them himself.

    The evidence the victim has already produced is compelling.

  • All the more motivation for Platner to deny there were any more potential scandals even while he knew that this woman believed he raped her. She texted him that he had sex with her without her consent. And he flatly denied that there were any more skeletons in his closet.

  • I think he should take her to court there are things that can prove his innocence.

    Like what?
