At a press conference today, lawyer Gloria Allred introduced her client, Sharon Bialek to the media, describing the event in which Cain allegedly sexually harassed her.

Allred said that her client was talking with Herman Cain about getting a job while attending a National Restaurant Association conference.

“Mr. Cain instead decided to try to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package,” Allred added.

The final accusation was a bit more serious.

He suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals. he also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch. I was very, very surprised and very shocked. I said, ‘what are you doing? you know I have a boyfriend. this isn’t what i came here for.'”

She added that Cain said, “You want a job, right?”

Bialek added that she approached Cain during a Tea Party event about a month ago in Chicago and asked him if he remembered her. “He acknowledged that he remembered me from the foundation and kind of looked uncomfortable and he said nothing as he was whisked away by his handlers.”
