Sharon Bialek, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's fourth sexual harassment accuser, talked to CNN's Piers Morgan last night about why she decided to speak out.
From Mediaite:
Morgan asked her several questions from the perspective of a skeptic after she relayed the core of the story: she went to Cain for help finding a job, he took her to dinner, and assaulted her in a cab on the way home. She told Piers that it was "never my intention from the start" to make money off of the harassment charges — "I'm all about doing the right thing." She answered she was "absolutely" concerned about her son, but that she wanted to be a good role model, and, in a sense, help Cain come back to his truth, as well. "One of my objectives was to allow him to come forward and redeem himself," she alleged. "It is unfortunate and I'm very disappointed that he didn't take the lead in this."
Meanwhile, Cain says there is "not an ounce of truth" to the allegations and plans to hold a news conference this afternoon to address them.
