A Second Accuser Goes Public Against Cain
By JIM RUTENBERG AND MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Karen Kraushaar, one of the two women who settled sexual harassment claims with the National Restaurant Association, said on Tuesday that she has decided to talk publicly about her allegations against the Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Ms. Kraushaar, a spokeswoman at the Treasury Department in Washington D.C., said in an interview with The New York Times that she was upset that her name had leaked into some press reports. But she said that she decided to speak out now that her identity is 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.”

Ms. Kraushaar had previously allowed her lawyer to anonymously challenge Mr. Cain’s denial that he had done anything wrong while at the helm of the restaurant association in the late 1990s. But after another woman went public on Monday and several news organizations published her name on Tuesday, Ms. Kraushaar said she decided to talk — at least in a limited way — publicly.

2. I have a feeling he's going to regret this press conf in a big way

3. making those grandiose statements!

"I have never acted inappropriately with anyone" etc etc is an earmark of a liar.

Also, when he was on tv yesterday he was gesturing with his hand and his fingers were closed--pointing to somebody who is hiding something.

My two cents.

4. Apparently the press in the room haven't heard. nt
