Politico: Herman Cain faced sexual harassment charges at trade group
By Glen Johnson, Boston Globe Staff
Politico reported last night that Herman Cain faced allegations of sexual harassment from two women in the 1990s, prompting financial settlements from the trade association which he led and where they worked.
A spokesman for the Republican presidential candidate, who has vaulted to the top of some recent polls, denied the allegation to The Associated Press but declined repeated requests from Politico for a direct response to questions about whether his behavior prompted the payouts.
