Herman Cain Faces Fourth Sexual Harassment Claim

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A fourth woman to accuse Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment will outline allegations against him at a news conference in New York today.

The woman alleges she was sexually harassed by Cain "when she sought his help with an employment issue when he was President of the National Restaurant Association," according to a statement by her lawyer, Gloria Allred. The news conference is scheduled for 1:30pm (1830 GMT).

She will become the first person to give her name and come forward publicly to lay out her case against Cain, a front-runner in the Republican presidential race.

At least three other women have accused him of sexual harassment from his time as the restaurant industry's top lobbyist in the mid-1990s. Cain, 65, insists the claims are baseless and that he was wrongfully accused. » | Monday, November 07, 2011
