A fourth accuser has stepped forward in the growing sexual harassment allegations surrounding Herman Cain. Sharon Bialek is the first woman to publicly reveal herself, and she said it was the encouragement of her son that gave her the strength to step forward. At the time of the incident, Bialek had been looking for work. According to Bialek, Cain unexpectedly put his hand on her leg beneath her skirt, and pushed her head toward his crotch.
Bialek attested she isn’t doing this for fame, saying she could have sold her story, but is instead presenting it to the public to get the truth out. Cain has denied all accusations, calling them “completely false.” Public opinion is divided over whether people believe the accusations to be true, but several unaffiliated Republicans have said Cain needs to be more forthright in putting the controversy to rest.
