Cain Accuser May Come Forward to Tell Her Side of the Story

You could call it the story that never dies. GOP presidential contender Herman Cain has dominated political headlines, as has attempted to explain sexual harassment charges that were waged against him 12 years ago. Now, his accuser — who remains anonymous — is claiming, through her lawyer, that the 2012 presidential hopeful has been lying to the American public.
Cain, who has already been scrutinized for seemingly changing his story regarding a settlement that was paid out to the woman following the purported incident, hasn’t yet responded to these latest allegations. This mystery woman is particularly frustrated over his insinuations that she lied about the allegations.
“She’s been very upset about this since the story broke last Sunday, because Mr. Cain has been giving the impression she came out and made false allegations,” her lawyer, Joel Bennett, said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.”
Watch Bennett discuss these issues, below:
Additionally, as Cain has described the incident, Bennett claims that he may be misrepresenting how it was settled. Rather that a termination agreement, which is the characterization that the presidential candidate has used, Bennett claims that the case was handled as a sexual harassment settlement.
Considering these allegations, some may be wondering why the woman doesn’t simply break her silence and share her side of the story. Bennett tackled this during his CNN interview, explaining that she is trapped in a confidentiality agreement with the National Restaurant Association.
In order for her to come forward, the NRA would need to allow the woman to talk freely and openly about the situation. ”Until they do that, she’s not going to speak out,” Bennett explained.
This morning, Bennett claimed that Cain has already violated the agreement based on his discussion of the matter earlier this week. The Hill has more:
According to Bennett, one of the stipulations of the confidentiality agreement was that neither party could make disparaging remarks about the other. Bennett said Cain violated that agreement on Fox News on Monday when he said that he had been told that the accuser’s performance in the workplace “was not up to par.”
Watch Cain deny breaching the agreement on Fox News’ “Special Report” last night:
Bennett hasn’t yet asked the NRA to reconsider this agreement, although association officials have admitted seeing reports about the incident. Sue Hensley, a spokesperson for the group, told CNN that, if contacted by Bennett, the NRA “will respond as appropriate.”
So far, the only information that has been released about the accuser is that she’s “happily married” and that she works for the federal government. Beyond that, the woman remains a mystery.
This latest news about the ongoing drama comes after Campaign Manager Mark Block announced that Monday was Cain’s biggest fundraising day to date. The monies brought in that day, alone, may exceed $300,000.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 8:20amI think looking for who sat on the story and then released it at the “proper” time is as easy as looking up the old “bimbo eruption” squad, i.e. team clinton. On the surface, their relationship w/ obaloney is prickly, but in the end, bolshevik “birds of a feather” tend to stick together.

Don’t they all do earmarks? But not everyone steals from people who trust them to pad their own pockets and the pockets of cronies..That’s an Obama move. Even though I liked Romneys speak at the debates the most…and by the way Cain said of all the candidates..for vice president (if memory serves correctly) Cain said he’e choose Romney..if he’d go allong with his 999 plan which I figure will wind up beig 99.9% of our income before we know it.. And Romney said he thought Paul was right.. I prefer Romney over Cain..because his speak says he wouldn’t kill us with taxes..but all these guys are obsessed with war and where does it stop? The Constitution was set up for us..That’s where we come from. It was set up on our God‘s and Jesus’s rules…don’t you think we should get back to that? How can anyone not want our Constitution..it is what defined us as a nation…giving us freedom and inalienable rights…We need that so much now…not this NWO…but then again..it may be closer to the end then any of us realize..so if one of your NWO guys gets it ..we may as well place our heads between our knees and kiss it

No need to insult, unless you are exactly what you rail against…..
OWS handles out of the court system and deal with their own rapes and thefts, valid or invalid.
Cain settled out of court so not to have it public info.
Same thing…..
If one is innocent settling out of court would not be right, especially if it is a big group as the NRA….If Cain had proven his innocents in court, cost could and would be passed on to the one making the false claims.
Yes, settling out of court usually implies guilt or fear of being found guilty. It sure isn’t standing in truth. It implies Cain will run when things get tough on him.
Again, keep your insults to yourself. That is simply distraction and admission of guilt in itself….

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:03pmThis story reminds me of an accusation made by a female prisoner and a male prison guard. . She claimed the married man was responsible for her pregnancy and filed suit against the man and the State for damages. The guard denied the allegations over and over, however he was not believed by the warden, Internal Affairs. If I remember correctly he was placed on administrative leave until a hearing could be held. He took the stand and when asked if he was responsible for the girl’s condition. He replied, I am not guilty of this, nor could I be, due to the fact I had a vasectomy and I have a doctor’s report and the paperwork to prove it. When he waited to disclose the Vasectomy, he said because you just assumed I was guilty. He taught them a good lesson. Herman Cain, and many other business men, have been accused by woman with dollar signs in their eyes. Their legal departments pay the complainant an agreed fee, because the court case would be too expensive. Whoever used this info to damage Cain’s campaign, made a big mistake, for now he is more popular then ever. He has my vote for his integrity, openness and his love of the USA.

Don’t be a fool Obama is very smart, he knows exactly what he is doing. And as smart as he is his specialty is campaigning. Right now with the way that Cain is handling situations like this, he will never beat Obama. I am sorry that you don’t like the Jimmy Carter reference, but I stand by it. Someone that has 10 days to get ready for something simple like this and he isn’t ready reminds me of Jimmy Carter.

First of all very few States have loser pay for frivolous lawsuits. Settling is often a far better way to go. $40K to defend it or $10K to make it go away and avoid the publicity, no brainer.
Secondly, do you not see this for what it is? It is a naked attempt to besmirch the current front runner and distract him from his agenda and campaign. The left will do the same to Ron Paul should he become our nominee.

Good to hear your still looking at Paul.
This being a Cain thread, I’m choosing to speak about Cain as we should do.
Any court case and attorneys can ask for court cost to be passed to those accusing.
If you are running for President, you should know skeletons will be brought up. That is a no brainer. Cain did a poor poor poor job of being ready for it.
I have seen cases that did fight false accusations and pass the cost on to those accusing. Too many times money settles those to be quiet thus leading to more frivolous claims. It should be illegal to bribe out of court IMO, whether claim is valid or not.
Hope your day is great.

So what? If I wave “hi” at you, you can charge sexual harrassment? Screaming sexual harrassment over “you’re about the same size as my wife” smacks of someone who’s just looking for a payday settlement.
Everyone knows it’s easier for businesses to settle out of court because it would cost much more to fight it in court on principle alone. That‘s the entire concept behind frivolous lawsuits and why they’re such a cottage industry for the worst of the worst dirtbag lawyers.

Teddy Kennedy killed a woman and didn’t even have the guts to swim out to save her. Was he condemned?
Bobby Kennedy was poking the blond bomb shell, when his bro got tired of her. Was he condemned?
JFK had a constant flow of women in & out of his life and it was all hush-hush. (there’s still a lot of
questions about which one of this group did Marilyn in.)
FDR, even in a wheel chair has his own mistress and not a word from anyone.
Clinton used cigars, and had the little gal under the table doing him, not a word said. In Ark. he used highway patrol to take him to his tryst with his long term gal friend, not a word. Many gals known and unknown in his life, he made sure they were smeared by his wife when it was found out. Not a word about this. In fact, all the young kids from his era don‘t believe BJ’s are sex because Clinton convinced the court, does IS mean IS?
Herman Cain is scaring too many people that he might be the REAL contender for the White House and they will use anything in their power to drag him down to their level. Whatever did happen with these women was nothing more than words, if it was even that. If these women thought something was out of line in his conversation, it’s prob. no worse than we hear on TV day in & day out. They just want to make a name for themselves. We’ve all played cutesy verbal games. That’s not SEX.

Your assuming the accuser told the truth 12 years ago? Any woman who is actually sexually harassed wouldn’t settle for a years salary of $35,000 and keep their mouth shut. What happened 12 years ago was blackmail by the accusers. I wonder how many additional settlements they have under their belt?

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 8:09amUnless Cain comes out and confesses something, I will not believe anything the ladies say. At least one of them got a handful of cash 12 years ago, and I’m sure they see the opportunity rising again. There was no evidence then, so it seems evident that there wont be any now. Sadly,It seems like a no win for Cain, and if this causes his campaign to implode, then this country has already died. We will be left with Obama or Obama lite, for which neither I will vote for.

I am sick and tired of people who roll all federal workers into one sick ball and denigrate us as do-nothings who only exist to suck off your tax money. If you want to clairify that to be political appointees who work in the federal government, you might be more correct but there are many, many of us who serve…emphasis on S E R V E… the people of this country and without this service others would suffer. You throw stones at the TSA people as perverts but 99% of them are behind the scenes working to keep the airways sfe, and they do it by laws and regulations the government has set forth. WHO takes care of the veterans but the VA? Sure it is an imperfect system, but without it in place who would “care for him who has borne the battle, and his widow and his orphan”? We in the VA do what we can to fulfill that pledge as best we can, governed by the laws and regulations set before us. Could a private agency do so well? Perhaps, but where would their heart come from? Most of us at the VA served in the military and we are taking care of our family. Sometimes, we are prohibited by law…and we are a republic governed by laws…to grant a benefit, but nothing is more fulfilling than to take care of a veteran who has done great service.
I love my country. I sincerly hate what I see happening. Most of the people I work with are conservative christians.
Do not divide this country by trying to turn us against ourselve

They think that a cafe near OWS laying off a couple dozen workers is tantamount to the Holocaust, but they also want every federal employee laid off.

What would you have me do? As a federal worker?
True, no pay cut, no pay raise, status quo. No lay off, there are more veterans than ever and we can’t keep up with the work. Exempt from being fired? It happens here. Don’t meet production, and you are gone. My retirement? huh. If I am lucky and the marked recoveres, I might be able to retire at 66 and not go to work asking people if they want to “biggie size that” but I would not be surprised if I did. I served in the military as did all my famly.
It is easy to “know” everything about a group you don’t like but do you really know everything about the individuals who work for the fed govt? And the average worker’s work situation?
PULL the country together. Don’t divide us by throwing stones as people who are likely on your side…on OUR side.
While I shouldn’t let myself get “rilled” by people who castigate me generically as a fed worker, I have a belief in my job and what I do. Sometimes, the hate gets through the shell, and it doubly hurts because it comes from people I stand with. Well, so you know, I don’t care what you think of me, and who I am and what I do and who I work for, I will keep faith with our Country, and serve her as best I can, and that is both on the job, and after.
I don’t need your respect. I need mine. That and the knowledge that God would not be displeased with who I am and what I do is enough. There is no more to be said. Disrepsect who you

I would ascertain from your posts that you do not belong to the SEIU then? I know as a Federal employee you have the choice to join or not join the union. Federal employees did not get a pay increase but you did still qualify for step increases so in essence that is a raise. I know many people that work at a V.A. You basically have 2 types there. The ones that actually do their jobs to the best of their ability and those that show up to collect a paycheck. Until the SEIU is shutdown that will never change. I can assume you are the rare few who actually do their job and take it seriously. I am a Veteran and Army retiree and I choose to not use the V.A. because of the majority of paycheck collectors there.

As far as Mr.Cain goes I understand. Back in the 90s I was called into the office because I called a woman honey and she was thinking about filing charges against me, so happens the woman was a lesbian not that it matters. Where I got that name from was from my aunt she used it all the time hon honey, and I picked it up thinking nothing was wrong in using that word. It never went forward thankfully and I stopped using the word. But what bothered me in this incident is that at the time I was a single male Christian which she knew of my belief, I never pushed it on no one just that they knew that I was a Christian. Now this was a major grocery chain that was pushing for women homosexuals and lesbians into management positions, after that incident I worked for a boss that was homosexual and constantly talked about young boys, when brought up to management I was told to shut up. So I know how the game is played and it’s been played that way for quite a long time.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 10:51am“Al liberals are evil.” – Sensei referring to conservative attitudes.
I think you meant to type “All.” We all have typing errors from time to time. Studies have actually shown that conservatives tend to think liberals are “misled” and “naive” while liberals tend to think that conservatives are “evil” and “greedy.” Wasn’t it Charles Krauthammer who said that to understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.
“All government employees are greedy. All Mexicans are illegal. All blacks are shiftless.” – Sensei referring to conservative attitudes again
Who is villifying who here? It appears that a liberal is villifying the right…. Hmmm…. For the record I‘m fiscally conservative and I don’t believe anything you wrote. Do you think Herman Cain thinks all blacks are shiftless? What is shiftless anyway?
“They have no principles, no values, no core.” – Sensei referring to conservatives
The right are the ones who generally love the constitution (and always have). The religious right are constantly berated for pushing biblical principals (as they always have done). You may not like their core values and principles, but they certainly have them and have been very consistent about them. This criticism in particular really falls on it‘s face as the right seems to be far more consistent about it’s principles than the left.
