Sharon Bialek of Chicago became the first woman accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment to go public Monday, describing an alleged incident in Washington in 1997 in which the president contender, then the president of the National Restaurant Association stuck his hand up her skirt and tried to pull her head toward his crotch. "I said, 'What are you doing?'" alleged Bialek, who said she had contacted Cain for help getting a job. "You know I have a boyfriend. This isn't what I came here for." According to Bialek, Cain answered, "You want a job, right?" Bialek claims that after the incident she rejoined her boyfriend and told him that Cain had been "sexually inappropriate." Cain campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon immediately responded with a statement that said, "All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false. Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone."
Bialek appeared with attorney Gloria Allred at a press conference at New York's Friars Club. Two other women filed complaints of sexual harassment against Cain while he helmed the NRA, but neither has spoken publicly. According to the Associated Press, a third woman also alleges sexual harassment by Cain while working at the trade group, but said did not file an internal complaint because one of her coworkers had already done so. Bialek, described by Allred as a Republican and the single mother of a 13-year-old, said she had come forward "to give a face to those women who cannot."

Drag a Gloria Alred through a trailer park and you never know what come up with.
They will continue throwing out these red herrings for as long as there is a seal willing to swallow them!
I'm sending Herman another $1000.
Maybe it was the woman who wanted to trade sex for a job? Maybe Herman turned her down? Just sayin...
Anyway, if it happen as claimed, making a pass is not a crime or sexual harassment. He didn’t force himself on her, he took her home as requested.
Big deal.
Just goes to show the dangers of EVER being alone with a woman that’s not your wife.
Nope, sorry ma’am, I can’t give you a ride home.
Allred is not a credible observer - she thinks Castro and Putin are republicans.
Damn. All of this has to be quite painful for Herman. I would just say F it, I quit. My family doesnt deserve this crap from the media. Herman Cain is as strong a man as they come.
I am preparing a comment.
Well her job now is scr##ing Cain for the Prestitutes. So she got her job from Cain I guess.
She is a “republican”? How convenient for Gloria & the democrats!
That was my reaction. I just donated to his Iowa fund again.
We can’t let the media do this to him. The guy on KFI radio is saying, with disgusting charges like this, this is going to stick, true or not.
Why? We have to shrivel each time they come up with nasty charges? How do we know this is true, and how come Dems never investigate their own?
Yaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn! No complaint filed. No arrest made. No conviction of anything. Not going to pay any attention - I don’t care. End of story!
I will send Herman another political contribution check for $100.
Is there any evidence of any of this?
Did she file a complaint at the time or anything?
Sure she is. I see nothing believable about it.
