Who Are Herman Cain's Accusers?
Article here. Excerpt:
'A third woman considered filing a workplace complaint against Herman Cain at the National Restaurant Association over what was termed aggressive and unwanted behavior, with invitations to his corporate apartment, according to a report in the Associated Press. Meanwhile, a radio host in Iowa said that the candidate had made "awkward" and "inappropriate" comments to staffers at the station during a visit earlier this year.
Cain has already denounced the two previous allegations of sexual harassment against him as false, and suggested at least one of the women was a poor worker. But an ABC News investigation found that both women are highly respected professionals who have gone on to successful careers in and around government.
One woman in Maryland has worked for years as a public spokesperson for various agencies of the federal government.
Her case appears to be the one Cain has described in his round of interviews, saying she was a writer working in the trade group's communications department.

Cain's recollection of the reported financial settlements has changed through the week. At first he said he was unaware of any settlement, then said an accuser had been paid three months salary, then upped that to three to six months salary.
Today, the New York Times reported that one of the women had accepted a settlement from the NRA that was worth a full year's pay, $35,000.
Said employment lawyer David Scher, "When you pay someone a year of salary to resolve a case, that means the company probably thought there was some merit to it."'

What a world
What a world we live in when a female can just accuse a male of sexual harassment,and get's paid off with a "ton of bucks". Now they're coming out of the woodwork,with their palms outstretched wanting to get "greased" KA-CHING.It's no damn wonder why false accusations,are through the roof at epidemic proportions for many kinds of selffish motives....They do it because they can...and they get away with it most of the time.The "play the victim game",is not only just for revenge,and for other self-serving motives,but also for huge profits,and furthermore it's considered politically incorrect to even mention the disgrace of false allegations against males in the media. Males are the victims of this in alarming numbers with devastating effects to them....What a world.
Yep
For "awkward" and "inappropriate" comments, Cain has to dish out the dough.
I don't see why this is a legal issue. At worst, a faux pas, bad manners. But a legal matter?
I guess these women didn't think Cain was good-looking enough for them.
