Gloria Cain, Herman Cain’s wife of 43 years spoke to Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren about the sexual harassment allegations aimed at her husband. The interview is slated to air later today.
Gloria Cain has largely stayed out of the public eye since her husband entered the presidential race. Mrs. Cain was previously scheduled to appear on television to discuss the allegations, but canceled. Now she will talk publically about the allegations. According to some of the brief clips that have been pre-released by Fox News, Mrs. Cain has stated that the sexual harassment allegations against her husband do not sound like behavior her husband would engage in.
Mrs. Cain further stated that the graphic behavior is disrespectful towards women something she doesn’t feel her husband is capable of. She went as far as to say he would have to have a split personality to engage in the acts he is accused of.
In the workplace, sexual harassment attorneys are retained to represent many people who are harassed by married men. The way a person acts towards their spouse and someone they perceive in a sexual light may be very different.
Oftentimes, sexual harassment lawyers hear allegations that are more about power than they are about sex. A high position in the workplace gives the person leverage over others and often people accept harassment because they feel reporting the incidents will jeopardize their job or any potential advancement. Sexual harassment attorneys can protect people from retaliation.
