The Herman Cain scandal finally has a name and a face.
Superlawyer Gloria Allred introduced her client, Sharon Bialek, at a press conference in New York on Monday afternoon, telling reporters that the woman formerly employed by the National Restaurant Association's educational arm had been subject to an unwanted sexual advance from the Republican presidential candidate.
Bialek, a Chicagoan, had raised money for the restaurant association before being terminated in 1997, Allred said. When she lost her job, Bialek reached out to Cain for help.
"Mr. Cain instead decided to try to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package," Allred said.
Bialek detailed Cain's sexual overture, explaining that he spent money on a palatial hotel suite for her at the time of their meeting. When they saw each other in the evening, Bialek said he put his hand on her leg, "reached for [her] genitals" and pushed her head toward his crotch.
When Bialek objected, Cain asked her: "You want a job, right?"
Bialek called on Cain to "come clean about what you did," saying: "Mr. Cain, I implore you, make this right."
Allred said her client is not filing a "lawsuit or claim" and has not been in touch with any of the other women who have accused Cain of personal misconduct.
Washington attorney Joel Bennett, who represents another Cain accuser, told POLITICO's Jonathan Martin that he had previously been in touch with a woman in Chicago who had been mistreated by Cain. But Bennett said he did not direct that woman to Allred, and "as of when I spoke to her [Sunday], she hadn't decided to go public."

LOL...like any other candidate wouldn't be.
Series!
Its a political hatchet job.
Conservatives dismiss it in two words: Gloria Allred!
The beyotch took down Meg Whitman with a carefully timed assassination.
Should we let her decide who our party’s nominee is going to be?
HELL, NO! F*ck that beyotch! Make sure Cain knows he has your support!
Hmmmmm. Related to the young woman with the big boobs who introduced 0bama’s campaign, is she? “I love Barack Obama, too”?
No effing way.
Was anybody actually talking about “stimulus packages” in 1997? IIRC, those were the “good ol’ days” of the Clinton Administration.
Absolutely agree with your statement-except for one point. Gloria Alred didn’t take out Meg Whitman. Meg Whitman took down Meg Whitman. Worst-candidate-ever.
Seems to me....if he was really interested in ‘getting some’....he wouldn’t CARE why she was there. He would simply exploit and take advantage of the fact that she WAS there.
This story smells worse than the average leftie OWSer.
There are some who don’t realize Allred was bring a smart ass with her “stimulus” comment.
It adds up to character assination, exactly what dems do when they run out of ideas.
It really helps that Bialek looks like Candice Bergen. Heck Caine deserves better than Danny Crane.
Lock and Load!
Gloria....the ambulance chaser....
Can’t. A public figure has zero chance of winning a libel/slander lawsuit. And no facts have been shown here.
Cain’s attorneys would tell him to just bear it and move on.
Dirty politics comes with the territory.
“this has got to be a joke, I am sending Cain more money.”

Amen brother! I think I’ll follow your lead and send another donation to Cain as well!
and "this is Hillary" from eight years ago....just sayin'
Badumbum.
Sharon, let me explain this to you. Whatever credibility you gained by coming forward, you handed back (at least in the eyes of SoCal Freepers) by hiring Gloria Allred.
I could think of a couple of good comebacks,but HC would never do anything like this.
If it was Clinton, he would have probably said "well I reached in her drawers, and found something unexpected". IT'S a MAN! Yikes!
Well Larry Flynt was willing to pay a cool mil....
but these bimbos/whores look like they work cheap.
Couple a hundred thou would probably get it done.
The check from George Soros cleared.
It sounds like the atypical leftist bs to me....
and as usual, it doesn’t pass the “smell” test.
Of course, lefties can’t detect their own disgusting smell....
since they’ve become too accustomed to smelling it over the years.
