Arizona House Candidate's Rape Disclosure Sparks Hundreds of Outreach Messages
Democratic candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia said her disclosure of a rape that occurred while she was repairing a campaign sign in Arizona has prompted hundreds of women to share their own experiences. Greene-Placentia previously said the assault happened in August in a Sun City parking lot while she was posting campaign signs, describing the attackers as two men. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it is investigating the case, and the candidate added that she believes the assailants targeted her because of her political profile.
