She had a chance to act on those claims for as long as 1 year after they happened as per the legal Statute of Limitations. She should have made the claims then - its a bit too late now. It's not like Cain was a Governor of State and could threaten he lively hood by cutting off state funds and siccing regulators after her.
Not every woman files suit. She did not at that time and she probably would never have spoken of it except for the fact he is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. She’s coming forth to corroborate the stories that Cain has a problem. Again, to blindly defend Cain is just as bad as blindly believing all these women.
I said on another thread that I was sexually harrassed by an important man in my industry. I chose to leave, I didn’t file anything. This was 20 years ago. If that man was now running for President, and women were coming out of the woodwork about sexual harrassment and were being trashed, I would probably come out to back up their stories. That’s what I see this woman is doing and I understand it.
