An Arizona congressional candidate says she was attacked and raped in August while trying to repair one of her campaign signs that had been damaged, according to The Guardian.
Bernadette Greene-Placentia said she decided to share her account publicly as part of an effort to support other survivors of sexual assault, the report said. The Guardian did not detail the specific location of the incident, the status of any police investigation, or whether a suspect has been identified or arrested.
Greene-Placentia is running for a seat in the US House of Representatives from Arizona. The Guardian's report did not specify further details about her campaign or district beyond identifying her as a congressional candidate.
As is standard practice in reporting on sexual assault, The Guardian's original report included information for readers affected by similar issues: in the United States, RAINN offers support at 800-656-4673; in the United Kingdom, Rape Crisis offers support at 0808 500 2222; and in Australia, 1800RESPECT is available at 1800 737 732.
This report is based solely on Greene-Placentia's public statement and The Guardian's coverage of it; no additional details beyond what has been publicly reported were available at the time of writing.
