Sexual Harassment Claims Against Herman Cain

To many, it seemed inevitable--eventually something would come up that would potentially slow the surge of Republican Presidential nominee seeker Herman Cain. As he is relatively unknown even now in the political world, many expected that there would be skeletons in the closet so to speak which would emerge as Cain's life became more and more of a public matter. Those skeletons right now are accusations against Cain of sexual harassment which actually occurred in the 1990s, but the issue right now is that the woman who claimed this is under a binding no disclosure agreement which she signed upon leaving the National Restaurant Association, of which Cain was President from 1996-1999. Because of this, she is barred from relating her side of the story, which she now wants to release to the media after Cain said last week that the allegations against him were "false and baseless." Joel P. Bennett, the lawyer representing one of the two women who made claims against Cain, is "calling on the association to waive the agreement so the woman, a federal worker living in suburban Maryland, can rebut Cain’s statements." This is certainly a story to follow as it plays out as it could potentially play a major role in the campaign of Herman Cain, and has the potential to slow the momentum Cain currently has.
