CNN) - Joel Bennett, the attorney for one the women who has accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment, said Friday that his client "made a complaint in good faith about a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances" from the GOP presidential candidate.
Bennett said his client sees "no value" in revisiting the issue now, but "stands by the complaint that she made."
Bennett said his client would disagree with Cain's characterization of the alleged harassment incidents.
He confirmed that the alleged harassment occurred in 1999 over a period of "at least a month or two." There was "more than one incident," he said.

Does anybody think she might want to “revisit” this issue if Mr. Cain gets the nomination. Oh say, maybe a month or so before the election. After all, she couldn’t possibly let a sexual harasser become president. She’d be doing it for the “good of the country”.
Cain’s not their pick to be the nominee, but of course he’s an insider, having been a lobbyist in DC and then more recently part of the Koch bros. CAP stable. Likewise his campaign team comes from the Koch bros.
Again, he’s not their pick to be the nominee (there they pick Romney first and Perry as a backup), but he’s playing the game right along with the rest of them.
I missed have missed something. Where is it written that SHE brought it up?
That one comment by her attorney should cost her the settlement.
You owe me a keyboard...if I was using one. Since I’m on an android tablet I wiped the stuff off!
LOL!!
that confused me too.....I just chose to ignore it....figured maybe someone is having a bad day or confused themselves....
;-)
Many used it to promote their own agenda. That's closer to the truth...
EXACTLY! So far, the lawyer’s the ONLY one yapping about this.
It would be TRIVIAL for a liberal to pay her any potential money she would lose if she went public. Soros could pay her off 3x and he wouldn't even notice it.
Let her. There's enough history on this now to drown her then.
” Im sticking with my story.
What story?
What I said.
What did you say?
And it happened more than once.
What happened?
Exactly. “
Hilarious! Now THAT is funny! And true.
“Hi, we’re the Duke Lacrosse Team. And on election day, we’d like to ask you to support Herman Cain”.
True. But there’s no way she can keep her credibility. It was probably something like, fix up my coffee.
I expect that they will try it for a bit longer before they go on in search of their next mudhole.
LOL WHAT???? After they have destroyed Herman Cain’s character. Made him the butt of jokes 24/7 all week. After they may have destroyed his campaign.
Nowwwww she doesn’t wanna talk about it???? OMG these people...
I think people are missing her message. What I heard is that she stands by her complaint, he lied about it and now she has permission to talk but she doesn’t want to. I suspect, judging by the way he has handled this so far, he will force her hand.
Who knows, but if there is something there, you can bet the liberals will buy her out in a heartbeat if/when the time comes that they need it.
This is a combination of info that came out in the statement and in the Q&A. Attorney said:
Will give no details on the incident or the settlement
Cain did not sign agreement
Four people signed the agreement: The accuser, her attorney, and two reps from the NRA — not Cain
Happened in 1999
Monetary settlement - would not disclose amount
Will not be asking NRA to release Client from the confidentiality agreement, other than this press conference
Statement read by attorney was written jointly by Client and Attorney
She thanked the media for being respectful (or something like that)
She thanked her family and co-workers and her supervisors and advisers
Accuser works for the Government
Accuser has been married for over 20 years
Accuser is happy that they were able to resolve this matter in 1999, and happy that they have been able to resolve it again today (i.e., will not be pushing the matter any further).
Accuser “sees no value” in further discussions of the issue
Attorney was asked something about evidence: Attorney said it never got that far; it was settled quickly before any investigation or evidence-gathering was needed
Attorney used the words where there's smoke there's fire - and stated his personal belief that there's more to it than this... that because there are two separate women, that's meaningful. Then he went on to say that of course Cain would be able to present a defense against each allegation (before any legal determination of guilt/innocence was made).
Attorney was specifically easked if the woman believes Cain is not fit to be President: Attorney said she has not expressed an opinion on it, nor has he asked her for one.
Hopefully there will be a full reply. I couldn't hear most of the questions asked, only the attorney's replies. So when he responded No, I don't know what he was asked.
“I just talked with Cain’s daughter the other day”.
If you know her or see her again, please tell her that many, many of us are sending daily prayers up for their family.
