Cain Dogged By More Allegations, Points Finger At Perry

A third woman in the Herman Cain scandal has emerged, according to the Associated Press.

The news comes on the heels of a Politico story earlier this week alleging that while head of the National Restaurant Association during the 90s, Presidential hopeful Herman Cain faced sexual harassment accusations from two female employees.

The third female employee, the Associated Press reports, did not file a formal complaint against Cain, but claims that the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO acted inappropriately, citing aggressive behavior and an invitation to his apartment.

Cain, a top tier candidate, charged during a tele-townhall Wednesday that Texas Governor Rick Perry’s campaign was the initial source for the Politico story, explaining that Republican strategist Curt Anderson, who once advised Cain, was told about the issue. He then joined the Perry campaign.

Perry’s spokesperson has denied the accusation.

Although Cain maintains that he has never sexually harassed anybody, after initially denying knowing of any settlement payment, acknowledged that at least one accuser was given a full year’s salary as severance pay.

One accuser has signaled to her attorney a willingness to speak out about the matter, according to the Washington Post, but is bound by a non-disclosure agreement. She is currently attempting to waive the contract.
