Politico reported Sunday night that Herman Cain, while serving as head of the National Restaurant Association, was accused of sexual harassment and that the NRA settled the claims in the "five figure range" is a perfectly legitimate story. Cain confirmed today that he was "falsely" accused, but oddly professed that he was unaware of the settlement.

But right now we have absolutely no idea whether Cain is actually guilty of sexual harassment, and we don't really even know what the allegations were.

Politico reports that its reporters have "seen documentation describing the allegations and showing that the restaurant association formally resolved the matter." But for some reason Politico declined to elaborate on the details of the allegations.

"We have to be careful about that, obviously, because we're sensitive to the sourcing involved. And also, what actually happened to these women as well, we want to be sensitive to that, too. It includes both verbal and physical gestures.

"These women felt uncomfortable, and they were unhappy about their treatment, and they complained to both colleagues and senior officials. In one case it involved, I think, inviting a woman up to a hotel room of Cain's on the road. We're just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women beside what's in the story."

"In one case, POLITICO. Both women received separation packages that were in the five-figure range."

...

These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.
