Adding to the ongoing Herman Cain sexual harassment controversy, two sources have now confirmed to PJ Media that a female employee of the National Restaurant Association told associates she had been brought by Mr. Cain to his Crystal City, Virginia residence where she alleged “he had taken advantage of me.”
Both sources claim to be politically conservative.
One source, a male, told PJ Media:
Herman took advantage of seniority and power with a young woman. It was an abuse of power.
Implying that coming forward with the accusations was an ordeal for the young woman, the source also said:
Who do you believe, a CEO or a mid-level staffer? It was unsettling for her to make charges.
The name of the woman — who was in her early twenties at the time of the alleged incident — has been confirmed by PJ Media. We have chosen not to reveal her identity for reasons of discretion.
Both sources, one male and one female, worked at the time — mid-1990s — for the governmental affairs department of the National Restaurant Association, as did the woman.
According to the female source, Mr. Cain and the woman had been with a large group for a long evening of food and drink at the Ciao Baby Cucina, a restaurant near NRA headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C. This was a normal routine, as the trade association worked with the food and beverage industry. Afterwards, Mr. Cain allegedly took the woman by taxi to his apartment, where she spent the night and woke up.
The female source told PJ Media that she witnessed the woman and Herman Cain break away from the large group as part of a smaller group.

Make Levin ripped this piece to shreds tonight, concluding by asking “what were you thinking Pajamas Media”?
Already posted twelve hours ago.
I believe the CEO.
Ridiculous. Still all smoke and mirrors.
This is the story that Rush talked about today - they had like 4-5 corrections (witnesses saw her get into a taxi, but then the didn’t), etc.
Oh, scarrrry blaaaack man..!!!!
This relies on the leftist believe that we’re all stupid, n*gger hating crackers.
Sorry, but this will only make me like him MORE, just on the principle of the thang.

Also note that PJMedia has CHANGED their article at least once since the original publication earlier today...
They should be ashamed of themselves for this article. It’s all hearsay, and they didn’t even get that right!
Drip, drip, drip...
More B.S.
Cain strikes me as someone who can take the heat.
I’m not buying it. This went from gestures and talk...to someone claiming he had invited someone up to a room...to now someone saying they went to the room with him and woke up at his apartment.
Sounds like all the stories are mixing together to produce the worst possible scenario of all of them combined...and it was 20+ years ago and just coming out now.
Just not buying it without a LOT more factual, direct testimony and facts than all of this hearsay and annonymous accusations.
In the mean time, Cain has my support and I will be stepping it up too.
I gather that this is supposedly a conservative source. What the hell is it with all these alleged anonymous stories? What is he thinking?

Robin, Robin (sigh)...this is such old not-news to rehash.
A particularly telling change was:
"...she woke in his bed."
became
"...she woke up."
Did Crystal Mangum (Durham Dirtbag) break out of jail to tell this lying tale of sexual accusations?
It’s a hatchet job:
Cheers
If he settled out of court nothing happened worthy of news. It just how lawyers pick up some cash.
Wake me up when they get to the part about a pubie on the Coke can and the Playboy pinups on the refrigerator. That was hilarious last time. LOL funny!
