Chicago Woman Holds Press Conference and Claims Herman Cain Groped Her in 1997 – Video 11/7/11

Here is video of a woman named Sharon Bialeck, who came forward today with Attorney Gloria Allred and held a Press Conference where she accused Herman Cain of making sexual advances toward her back in 1997 when she sought his help finding a job. She claims Cain actually put his hand under her skirt and tried to pull her head down toward him. After telling him to stop, she says he did so and returned her to her hotel, where she claims Cain had upgraded her room to a “palatial suite.”

So far, no one has confirmed anything about this woman’s story. Herman Cain’s Campaign denies the allegations, saying they are false.

CNN: A Chicago woman said Monday that Herman Cain sexually groped her in 1997 when Cain was head of the National Restaurant Association.

Sharon Bialek made the claims during a press conference with famed defense attorney Gloria Allred. . . .

Allred says the alleged harassment took place when her client sought Cain’s help with an employment issue while she was working at the association.

Cain’s campaign on Monday denied new accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior against the Republican presidential hopeful. “All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false,” said a statement from Cain’s campaign after Bialek’s accusation. “Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone.”. . . .
