adminsexual harassment after making contradictory comments within the space of just a few hours.
He dismissed allegations of sexual harassment against him as a “witch hunt” but failed to quell the clamour that grew on Monday.
Over the course of two public appearances before the media and a series of television interviews on Monday, Cain went from initially saying he was unaware of any of the women receiving settlements over the claims to later admitting there had been a settlement.
On Sunday night, Politico revealed that two female employees of the National Restaurant Association had received payouts after making harassment claims against Cain while he was the organisation’s president.
According to Politico, the women left the association after complaining about inappropriate behaviour by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable.
They reportedly received settlements in return for signing non-disclosure agreements.
In his first comments, Cain confirmed that he had been the subject of sexual harassment complaints involving two female workers in the restaurant industry‚ but said he had been “falsely accused”. – guardian.co.uk
