PJM Sources Report Details of Alleged Cain Incident
PJMedia ^ | November 3, 2011 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 11/03/2011 10:04:50 AM PDT by bbernard

Adding to the ongoing Herman Cain sexual harassment controversy, two sources have now confirmed to PJ Media that a female employee of the National Restaurant Association told associates she had been brought by Mr. Cain to his Crystal City, Virginia residence where she alleged “he had taken advantage of me.”

One source, a male, told PJ Media:

Herman took advantage of seniority and power with a young woman. It was an abuse of power.

Implying that coming forward with the accusations was an ordeal for the young woman, the source also said:

Who do you believe, a CEO or a mid-level staffer? It was unsettling for her to make charges.

The name of the woman — who was in her early twenties at the time of the alleged incident — has been confirmed by PJ Media. We have chosen not to reveal her identity for reasons of discretion.

Both sources, one male and one female, worked at the time — mid-1990s — for the governmental affairs department of the National Restaurant Association, as did the woman.

Unless he inserted a cigar while under the desk in the oval office I don’t care! Clinton set a new standard whether the MSM wants to acknowledge it or not.

I have a two word reply for lefties: Juanita Broaddrick.

If he took her home and they slept in the same bed, Cain is finished. No way around it. Herman is a married man and even if she wasn’t pressured or harassed into anything, this would be enough to destroy him in the Republican party.

So, she woke up in Cain’s bed after a night of drinking and it is his fault.

Typical BS from a woman who can’t control herself.

According to both sources, Mr. Cain and the woman had been with a large group for a long evening of food and drink at the Ciao Baby Cucina, a restaurant near NRA headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C. This was a normal routine, as the trade association worked with the food and beverage industry. Afterwards, Mr. Cain allegedly took the woman by taxi to his apartment, where she spent the night and woke up in his bed.

Sexual harassment? I think not. Generally, if she spends the night, it doesn't qualify as harassment. If this is true (and I am VERY skeptical), it's infidelity - and a character issue. I don't see this as what they are advertising, and while I will think far less of him if it turns out to be true, it's not sexual harassment or an abuse of power.

If it were true the bimbos that haven’t signed a confidentiality agreement would be blabbing their heads off in hopes of making millions with book deals and interview fees. The fact that they aren’t tells me this is a huge pile of steaming BS. Rush nailed it yesterday. The reason this looks just like what they did to Clarence Thomas is because it’s is exactly like what they did to Clarence Thomas. We now know who Dims and Republican establishment types fear the most.

First, you have to believe the woman is telling the truth.

Sounds like this is a response to people saying that asking somebody if they wanted to come to your room isn’t sexual harassment, as long as they leave you alone when you say no.

The story keeps shifting, depending on what the public response is - whether the latest stuff flung at Cain actually “sticks”. Watching the accusations evolve would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sickening.

“We have chosen not to reveal her identity for reasons of discretion.”

How can you expect anyone to believe this when they refuse to identify the indiviuals?

This cracks me up......

It was only his fault after it became financially lucrative to report it in the media.
