People autoatically assume that when a person is accused of wrongdoing, then the accusation must be true. It all sounds to me like a disgruntled former employee was trying to extort money from her former employer. It’s unfortunate that the association did settle some money on the accuser. However, there are times when it is more prudent and cost effective to settle than spend large amounts of money on a trial and maybe an appeal. A settlement does not necessarily mean there was any wrongdoing.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of how the legal system works, and Rev. Cain has many enemies willing to exploit that ignorance in order to bring him down. And IMHO those enemies are members of Rev. Cain’s own party.
Sometimes an accusation like this is made by an employee that is facing termination for other reasons. A really big charge against a manager needs to be investigated & disposed of before the employee gets shown the door. This can take a long time and can bring in some additional money as well.

Remember the Duke lacrosse case? Nancy Grace was convinced they were guilty. Except, as Jon Stewart pointed out, “they ...didn’t do it”. So how did Grace address the issue on her
very next show?
“Good evening, I’m Jane Velez-Mitchell, in tonight for Nancy Grace...”
