Herman Cain spoke at a press conference on Tuesday, denying the serious sexual harassment accusations leveled against him by a woman who claims he tried to grab her “genitals,” and said he would take a lie detector test, but only under specific circumstances.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Sharon Bialek claimed in a New York news conference on Monday that when she came to Cain for professional help in 1997, he "suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals."
She also said that Cain “grabbed her head and pulled it to his crotch.”

Cain denied the accusations saying that he never has met Ms. Bialek and said that he would take a lie detector test to prove he is telling the truth when asked during the Q&A session but he had a caveat. “But I’m not going to do that unless I have a good reason to do so,” he said.
“I have never acted inappropriately with anyone,” the republican presidential hopeful said. “Period. I saw Ms. Allred and her client yesterday in that news conference for the very first time.”
He claimed that his first thought while watching the news conference was “I don’t even know who this woman is.
“I tried to remember if I recognized her and I didn’t. I tried to remember if I remembered that name and I didn’t.”
Cain said that he did not sexually harass Sharon Bialek, or any of the other three women that have also claimed harassment, but repeatedly referred to all of the claims as “anonymous,” despite Bialek coming forward publicly.
“The charges and the accusations I absolutely reject,” Cain said. “They simply didn’t happen. They simply did not happen.”
Powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred has come out swinging against Cain. "The public has a choice of believing four women who have alleged sexual harassment by Mr. Cain or one man, Mr. Cain who has a strong motive to deny those allegations. If the women are believed then Mr. Cain is a serial sexual harasser and a liar who does not deserve to be President," Allred told RadarOnline.com.

ANY woman working ANYWHERE can yell 'harrassment' and it seems that they are always believed. These women see dollar signs, that's all. If he's willing to take a polygraph, I want them to take one too.

This becomes a slippery slope when political candidates are required to take polygraph tests. I say let his accuser verify her claims by taking one. Her credibility is based solely on three previous anonymous women.

Obama never really ran a campaign against anyone until he ran for president. Virtually all men running against him 'dropped out' of the race. I guess this is how they did it. I'm more interested in who Obama really is. Who's Barry Sotero?

Yeh, under your conditions you will take one. Isn't there proof out there that some of these women were paid money not to sue him? Some men think they can do this and it is not sexual. Herman, you are cooked

um...no. There is no such 'proof'. Just rumor and gossip
