Title: Lawyer: Cain accuser wants to tell her side of story

One of the women who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment wants to tell her side of the story but is barred by a confidentiality agreement, her attorney in Washington said Tuesday.

Lawyer Joel P. Bennett called on the National Restaurant Association, where the woman and Cain worked in the late 1990s, to release the woman from her written promise not to talk about the allegations or disparage the trade group.

“It is just frustrating that Herman Cain is going around bad-mouthing the two complainants, and my client is blocked by a confidentiality agreement,” Bennett said. “The National Restaurant Association ought to release them and allow them to respond. ”

The association, which Cain headed from 1996 to 1999, has remained mum since the story broke in Politico on Sunday evening, citing a long-standing policy not to comment on personnel issues. Cain denied the sexual harassment allegations, saying they were “totally baseless and totally false.”

Bennett represents one of the two women, who attended an Ivy League school and now works for the federal government. She has avoided the limelight since the allegations were aired, and she is staying with relatives while the media stakes out her home in suburban Maryland, Bennett said.

If she is released from the confidentiality ban, “then it is whole new ballgame,” Bennett said.

“If we didn’t have a written settlement agreement that says confidential and no disparagement, I think she’d be very comfortable coming forward,” the attorney told The Post on Tuesday. “Not because she would be so hellbent on doing something to Herman Cain — I don’t know that.

“For all practical purposes, Herman Cain has already done that” — waived confidentiality, Bennett said. “But legally that might not constitute a waiver.”

Because the case is more than a dozen years old, Bennett said he no longer has the file nor the confidentiality agreement. He said his client is sending it to him for review to determine how she might speak publicly.

Bennett, who has practiced employment law for four decades since graduating from Georgetown University, said that he disagrees with Cain’s statements that the settlement agreement with his client was only for severance.

“If there hadn’t been [sexual harassment] claims, there wouldn’t have been a settlement,” Bennett said.

Over the weekend, as the story was breaking, Bennett said his client called him. At the time, he said that he had not even remembered the name of the association official who his client had accused. He said doesn’t remember going to the association offices and thinks the matter might have been handled over fax and phone, and quite expeditiously.

Calls to the restaurant association and the Cain campaign were not returned.

Come on Herb, tell the restaurant association to let you clear your name.

You're RIGHT.

Let's get all the Reggie Love stories out there for our corrupt POTUS to talk about, the mistresses and victims of the serial rapist "Bubba" Clinton, and any accusers of George W. Bush (also affectionately referred to by me as "Herr Dumbass").

Let's get it ALL out there...!

I don't support Mr. Cain, but I have nothing against him on the personal level. I am withholding judgment on this until I hear both sizes of the story, in spite of the difficulty he has had being forthcoming in regards to this story.

Not at all. And I have zero idea who Neal Boortz is.

Boortz is a talk show host out of Atlanta. He calls himself a Libertarian. I enjoy listening to him while I am driving around in the morning. Herman Cain used to supstitute host for him. He came across as very likable and charismatic. I don't agree with everything he is for but I think I like him. Newt Gingrich also used to fill in for Neal Boortz.

One of the woman's attorney said that Cain should have stuck with his denial. As soon as Cain gave ANY details the HE breached the confidentiality agreement and so the women are no longer bound to it...

Letting her speak is a win-win for Herb. If she denies the incident he'll be raking in a boatload of contributions, but if she confirms it he'll rake in even more.

From what I heard he was talking with this woman and the conversation got around to his wife.... He said to the woman "You're about the same height as my wife" and then proceeded to put his hand up to his chin as a gesture of describing her height. And the woman "supposedly" took this gesture as sexual harassment..... Go figure.....

You are actually onto something. I agree. This isn't going to harm Cain.

She has a confidentiality agreement silencing her, Mr. I'm in a hurry to do a roof. If you don't have a clue, buy a vowel.

Assuming that she was the one who made public Cain's lack of character to assassinate, she could only do it anonymously.

My guess is that it was someone else who was within the restaurant association at the time and that the women, hearing Cain slander them, then went public in the only manner that they could.

She isn't, exactly as predicted. The simply fact is she has no legal recourse. Her complaint was investigated and found to be without merit. She then signed a legally binding contract, and accepted 5 figure compensation.

Today her attorney announced she decided not to go public. Seems to me her attorney is more like Terrell Owen's agent than a real lawyer, btw.

Whats a boof, mikey?

She should have realized when she opened her mouth she would look ridiculous, and be subjected to a full and complete examination of her claim, and an investigation into her own life. And of course she'd have to pay back the money, and most likely damages if the NRA went after her for violating the confidentiality agreement.
