A Georgia businesswoman has accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of inappropriate sexual behavior, according to a Fox TV affiliate in Atlanta.
The woman, named Ginger White, told Fox 5 that she and Cain were involved in an affair that lasted 13 years.
“It wasn’t complicated,” she said during an interview that will air in full this evening. “I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship.”
White becomes the fifth female to voice allegations against Cain in the past month.
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer this afternoon, Cain attempted to downplay the new accusation. He called White “an acquaintance, that I thought was a friend.”
“I know that the court of public opinion is gonna formulate its own opinion,” he said. “I can’t control people who are gonna make a decisions based upon accusations…but I just want to give you a heads-up, and your audience a head-up: Here we go again.”
