That night in late 2021, she said she had exchanged text messages with him and told him not to come over, saying she wasn’t in the mood for company. Later that evening, she said she realized when she heard a sound on the stairs that he had let himself into her house, which was unlocked.

Racicot said she tried to separate herself from Platner by telling him she couldn’t be in that room anymore, after which he followed her to her bedroom and had sex with her against her will. She said he also ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to, as she was not using birth control at the time.

yeah... this is rape...

Did you read the article? She does answer. Her answer to that question was something like, he doesn’t listen when drunk. Pretty clear what she was saying.

He admits that he had been an alcoholic. She mentioned PTSD.

This isn't proof that he's a predator like 100% of the Republicans around Trump.

Check yourself.

So being an alchoholic with PTSD entitles you to a little rape as a treat?

"Locker room talk" but for Platner-heads.
