Karen Kraushaar, one of the two women who settled sexual harassment claims against Herman Cain with the National Restaurant Association, spoke publicly for the first time on Tuesday about her allegations against the Republican presidential candidate.

Ms. Kraushaar, a spokeswoman at the Treasury Department, said in an interview that she was upset that her name had leaked into some press reports. But she said that she had decided to speak out now that her identity was publicly known.

“When you are being sexually harassed in the workplace, you are extremely vulnerable,” she said. “You do whatever you can to quickly get yourself into a job some place safe, and that is what I thought I had achieved when I left.”

She said she did not know whether or how she might tell more of her story but said that she had been warming “to the idea of a joint press conference where all of the women would be together with our attorneys and all of this evidence would be considered together.”

Karen Kraushaar now wants to go public with other women with allegations against Herman Cain
(snip)
Karen Kraushaar, 55, an employee with the Treasury Department’s inspector general office, said she never wanted her name to be made public as one of Cain’s accusers. But a news organization published her name Tuesday and she now says she is ready to go before cameras.

“I am interested in a joint press conference for all the women where we would all be together with our attorneys and all of these allegations could be reviewed as a collective body of evidence,” Kraushaar told The Washington Post.

3. another Republican

maybe the GOP should stop letting women in, they're way too sensitive and/or liars. :sarcasm:

4. Wow. One a day? Cain's going to be facing an avalanche of women coming forward.

He's obviously put his hands up a lot of skirts without permission.

7. And if he had at least three settlements against him . . .

. . . he obviously can't stop. It's a surprise the NRA kept him after the second settlement.

5. Wow - give it up Hermy. Your Republicon lies ain't floating...

What a stinking Republicon harasser and liar he is.

6. As I predicted!

Cain is finished. Even if his campaign won't formerly end, he now looks like a buffoon.

I'm happy to say, so does Rush Limbaugh.

Well, Repubs, ready to settle for Romney, yet? Or do you need more of freak show?

8. I hope these women will have security measures taken for their safety.

9. I was wondering if there were any women out there

that didn't rebuke him.

If he is a serial harrasser then there might have been a couple of times that he got lucky.

One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Maybe he kept doing the same thing because he occasionally did get different results.

Just wondering....

10. Thinking the same thing???

I was thinking the same thing. These are the women who refused. He probably kept trying it, because it actually worked sometimes.
