Last week, Graham Platner, a former candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine, withdrew from the race following allegations of sexual assault. Despite ending his campaign, questions linger about the potential legal consequences he might face.
Currently, there is no criminal investigation involving Platner. However, experts have speculated on what the case against him might entail if legal action is pursued. These discussions have been shared with NBC News.
Platner’s withdrawal came after a former girlfriend accused him of sexual misconduct. This claim, alongside his stepping down, has sparked considerable public attention.
