Arizona congressional candidate alleges rape by two men while fixing campaign signs
Arizona congressional candidate claims she was rped by two men while fixing campaign signs at 2 am, says she thinks the men called her a “democratic btch.”
Bernadette Greene-Placentia, a Democrat who is challenging Republican Abe Hamadeh, claims she was r*ped next to her car.
Greene-Placentia, 52, says she was outside fixing campaign signs along a road at 2 am in the Phoenix area when she was allegedly hit on the back of the head.
She says she didn’t hear anyone approaching her and had little memory of being attacked.
The Democrat claims she regained consciousness to find one man s*xually assaulting her and another fighting her.
“You’re right, she’s not worth it,” she claims one of the men said before they left.
Greene-Placentia says she drove home after the attack but doesn’t remember the drive. She did not undergo a s*xual assault forensic examination.
The incident allegedly happened on August 14, but the Democrat didn’t report the alleged assault to police until August 31.
She says she told her husband about the alleged assault about three days after it allegedly happened because she was “embarrassed” that she “couldn’t defend herself.”
Greene-Placentia claims she had bruises on her back and arms. She told police that she didn’t take any photos of the bruises or the “lump” on her head.
She says the injuries were still visible when she reported the alleged assault to police, but no photos were taken.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing.
