    AP Exclusive: Third worker says harassed by Cain

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A third former employee says she considered filing a workplace complaint over what she considered aggressive and unwanted behavior by Herman Cain when she worked for the presidential candidate in the 1990s. She says the behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

    She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told The Associated Press that Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.

    The employee described situations in which she said Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.

    Cain's campaign declined to comment.

      If one more woman comes out with additional allegations, he'll finally be qualified to hold a high office in our government.

      • sutanner 6 mths ago
        Really, the press never demanded Obama roduce his Ccollege records, birth certificate, why he has a Connecticut SS #, etc.
    • REBECCA C  •  6 mths ago
      Media keeps reporting this story but never says what he did? TELL US WHAT HE DID!
    • cousinPhlegm  •  6 mths ago
      I am not judging Cain until he ends up on Dancing with the Stars. Then I will judge him. Harshly, but fairly.
    • Bob  •  6 mths ago
      So she "thought about" filing a complaint? Is that what passes for news these days?
    • Reich Wing ReTard  •  6 mths ago
      Not a big Cain fan, but this does have all the earmarks of a carefully orchestrated smear job. Which isn't say that the Cain-Man really didn't put the Smoooooov Grooooove on some office hotties. Ya gotta wonder who's running the smear though, the Left, or one of his GOP competitors? I'm sure Mitt, Perry & company are shedding huge crocodile tears over Cain's woman woes...

      "She spoke on condition of anonymity, "

      That's what's wrong with this. Someone can launch an unsubstantiated attack like this, clearly intended to have a major destructive impact on someone else's career and life...and doesn't even have to give her name?? f you're not willing to stand behind what you say - or want to keep things private, then keep it ALL private, or don't say anything.

      Funny how none of this came out when he first started campaigning, only after it seems he is popular.
    • Gerald  •  Los Angeles, United States  •  6 mths ago
      I am a liberal but I don't see anything in this article that means much of anything. We'll see if something more substantial comes out but if not then yawn.

      okay, Cain harassed me. Now where's my check?

      A woman goes to Nordstrom over the weekend and picks out a sexy outfit to wear to work, perfume, gets her hair done, nails done, facial done, buys makeup and does everything she can to look good for the opposite sex. On Monday she goes to work and one of the guys says Wow you look hot today and finds himself in Human Resources with a sexual harrassment complaint about him. Its sooo not fair. Its entrapment and women have been doing this to men since the garden of Eden.

      JFK liked women, and he still was a president
    • A Yahoo! User  •  6 mths ago
      ok, a private invitation is not harassment. Let me get this straight, if it were harassment to make women feel uncomfortable, no one would be married. You can't read minds. 'hey, take out the trash' get's the response, 'I don't know, I just felt really uncomfortable.'

      Tell us about Jesse Jackson's illegitimate children. All of them!
    • Mike  •  Baltimore, United States  •  6 mths ago
      So we have reached the point in this country that perhaps something as harmless as asking someone out on a date if you are in any position of power or authority is considered harrassment?
