Is sexual harrassment in the work-place illegal? i.e. a criminal or civil breach?
If criminal - the accused has the right to confront the accuser.
It does not appear that Herman Cain was confronted by his accuser(s) - but advised of the claims - after they had been disposed of by a third party (Association legal team).
Whoever disposed of the dispute has the written documentation and can Cain demand copies - and is he subject to the ‘confidentiality’ clause?
Everyone needs to know the procedure and protocol for this type of covert character assassination potential.
