Pourquoi Cain n'a-t-il évacué ces questions dès le départ...
"The attorney for one of the women who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment said Friday that the then-National Restaurant Association CEO engaged in “inappropriate behavior” and “unwanted advances” that led to a five-figure cash payout in 1999.
The woman declined to reveal her identity or detail the nature of the claim.
“These complaints were resolved in an agreement with her acceptance of a monetary settlement,” said Joel Bennett, the attorney, at a news conference outside his Washington, D.C. law office.
Reading a statement he said he wrote jointly with his client, Bennett declined to say how much money his client received. POLITICO has reported it was approximately $45,000.
Bennett indicated that the woman, now a federal employee, is happy in her current job and doesn’t want to publicly recount her experience with Cain.
“[I]t would be extremely painful to do so,” said the attorney, reading the statement.
Asked directly about the nature of the harassment against the woman, Bennett said: “Beyond what’s in the statement, she has decided not to relive the specifics of the incidents so I cannot give any further detail.”
He did, however, say his client endured multiple encounters with Cain.
Questioned about Cain’s denials this week that he harassed the woman, Bennett said: “Those statements are inaccurate factually.”
He added: “Mr. Cain knows the specific incidents that were alleged. My client filed a written complaint in 1999 against him specifically and it had very specific incidents in it and if he chose to not remember or not acknowledge those, that’s his issue.”
