A doctor who once dated Herman Cain accuser Sharon Bialek came forward today to say that he remembered Bialek telling him in 1997 that Cain had "touched her in an inappropriate manner," and that he was the one who urged her to contact lawyer Gloria Allred and go public with her accusation.
Dr. Victor Zuckerman of Shreveport, Louisiana, who appeared at a Monday afternoon press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, said he had decided to go public himself in order to rebut Herman Cain's public statement that he had no idea who Sharon Bialek was and couldn't recall ever meeting her. "I'm here to shed light on whether or not Herman Cain knows Sharon Bialek."
Four different women have accused the Republican presidential frontrunner of sexually harassing them while they worked at the National Restaurant Association. Karen Kraushaar and a second woman filed internal complaints with the trade group and received financial settlements. A third woman told the Associated Press she had considered filing a complaint against Cain but decided against because a coworker had already filed.
Cain has categorically denied all allegations of sexual harassment.
Bialek became the fourth accuser, and the first to go public, with a New York press conference on Nov. 7. She alleges Cain put his hand up her skirt, reached for her genitals and pulled her head toward his crotch. Bialek claims that when she resisted, he said, "You want a job, don't you?"
At the press conference, Gloria Allred flourished signed statements from two different men to whom Bialek had allegedly reported Cain's "inappropriate behavior" at the time. One of the men was described as a longtime friend and Chicago businessman, the other as a pediatrician Bialek was dating.

You mean this guy with the Court Document history of fraud to support his gambling habit?
Leave it to Freepers to do more real journalism then the paid hacks in the MSM
Big Media will eventually connect Cain to Kevin Bacon, who heard that Cain {insert appropriate horrific act here}.
Not a credible witness.
Doesn't matter what he says, he's not really a witness.
And then, for the coup de grace, they also produced the college buddy's wife's hairdresser - who distinctly remembers the college wife's buddy telling her about what her husband's friend's girlfriend had said about Herman Cain.
>>> ... he was the one who urged her to contact lawyer Gloria Allred and go public with her accusation.
Funny, how this didn’t matter in 1997 and since.
Only now when Cain is ‘leading’ in multiple polls, then we have bugs coming out of the woodwork everywhere ......
I believe it’s called hearsay.
This stuff just isn’t going to go away. It’s plastered everywhere, and the average voter isn’t going to endeavor to discern the truth for themselves. They’ll listen to whoever stands up to the microphone.
His campaign has got to find a way to put this junk to rest once and for all or he’ll never get back on message.
Grrrr
So she called her old boyfrind from 14 years ago who urged her to contact Gloria? I wonder how her new boyfriend took that? This story has more holes in it than ny husband’s socks!
By interjecting multiple layers of hearsay, Gloryhole Allred hopes to avoid getting caught in defamation litigation.
Slick, getting a liar to lie about lies to avoid intent issues. I bet Slick Willie wishes he could have had one of his buddies testify about what he had told him and could have thereby avoided that nasty perjury citation and disbarment.
Even if it’s entirely clear this harassment bullshit is nonsense the media will still report “lingering doubts”. It will never go away. Cain just has to move on and stay on message. They will never let it go. They’re tools of the political establishment.
When asked if Gloria would now release the previously signed affidavit, she balked and said Dr. Zuckerman’s appearance today was better than the affidavit.
Not a "witness" at all, at any level.
As another FReeper noted in a similar thread, Allred (at the behest of those paying her) is targeting the wide swath of idiots in the American electorate. A rumor is all that is needed.
We should wait for Rove to declare “now that a DOCTOR speaks, which gives credit to the harrassment suit’.
His campaign has got to find a way to put this junk to rest once and for all or he’ll never get back on message.
“No, all he has to do is say “prove it” and ignore further questions.”
:) well, that would be a way to do it!
He’s using the exact same words as the Sandusky scandal.
