Wilson said he was present at AN incident. He said he never talked about it, and was speaking now just to point out that multiple people were at that particular incident and knew about it and could have talked about it.
I couldn’t figure out if he was talking about an incident with one of the two women accusers, or with the 3rd woman who was reported today. In any case, that is a new thing that came out, and it was not the source of the original story.
Four people with contemporaneous knowledge of the encounter said it had taken place in the context of a work outing during which there had been heavy drinking a hallmark, they said, of outings with an organization that represents the hospitality industry. They spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid being publicly drawn into the dispute, and declined to provide details of the encounter, saying they did not want to violate the privacy of the woman.http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/02/us/politics/herman-cain-accuser-got-a-years-salary-in-severance-pay.html
