In the past week or so, Herman Cain has been accused of harassing several women sexually. He claims they are not true, however, the presence of these allegations has taken a negative toll on his campaign. People are not very comfortable with the idea that he could have this skeleton in his closet even though he denies it every time it is brought up. He knows that he needs to win back credibility which he began to address in his press conference. There is some tough evidence that is working against Cain: he has been a party to two settlements of women in the past. The lawyer of one of the women told New York Times that it was similar to the story of the Chicago woman who spoke out this week about Cain sexually harassing her. She said, "I respected him, I looked up to him. And it was shocking to me that he would use that power in such a way." His story has changed several times about details of the situations, but he is not giving in to the allegations.
