This Bialek story is so full of holes it is about to fall apart in front of the media's very eyes.
The other "named" woman has not even made allegations that I have been able to find, and the last one was a story about Cain going to dinner with three women, two of whom invited themselves, and where nothing happened. So much for "serious charges." Mitt is a twit.
What, they knew 14 years ago that Cain would run in 2012, so they filed phony charges and settled for $35K and $45K respectively, just to derail him? I don't know if there was anything to their original claims, but it happened, the media reported it, and Cain handled it badly. There's no eveidence that they were responsible for breaking the story. I don't blame them for not wanting to have their lives destroyed by going public.
The women who are coming forward now, having never said anything at the time are a different story.
One of the first two has come forward. Last name something like Kurushana.
Not true. One of the two came out today: A Second Accuser Goes Public Against Cain
