Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Allegations: Candidate Says Another Accuser Set To Speak Out (VIDEO)

During an appearance on CNN on Monday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said that another woman is prepared to go public with allegations of "an affair for an extended period of time."

He firmly denied the accusation. Addressing the identity of the woman, he said, "It is someone that I know who is an acquaintance that I thought was a friend."

Atlanta-based station Fox 5 is expected to run a report on the charges early Monday evening. Cain said he wanted to act preemptively before the claims came to light.

"I wanted to get out in front of it," he said. "I have nothing to hide, I have done nothing wrong."

The presidential contender suggested that "an infinite number of people" could come forward with similar allegations against him.

Cain signaled that he has no intention of abandoning his campaign for the White House. He said as long as his wife is behind him, he's in it to win it.

UPDATE: The new accuser, an Atlanta businesswoman named Ginger White, sat down with FOX News to tell her side of the story.

“It wasn't complicated," she said. "I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship.”

why would any woman be intimate with this creepy guy?

That's what I say. He has the typical "God's gift to women" swagger and thinks his money can get him whatever he wants.

Seriously, you gotta wonder how stupid the GOPers are that this even went this far... Are they so out of touch with reality that it takes major crashes like this to get through to them that their candidates are insufficient, and they should look inwards to fix what's fundamentally wrong with them?

The Cain is no longer Able (as we all knew anyway). Seriously....who believes this guy? To pre-emptively announce an accuser's arrival on scene? I do not believe that women would come forward one after the other, and for NONE of the accusations to hold any weight. Cain's body language and the manner in which he answers questions about his alleged sex-capades clearly lets everybody know that he is lying. The guy is a terrible poker player. For him to not expect to be put under the microscope and for his mistresses to stay mum? Then to call out everybody for being a liar? At least Gingrich owns his indescretions - not that I like him either.

What in the world did Ginger White expect to gain? If she did have an affair and he paid her for your services, you know what that makes her. If she did have an affair, doesn't she understand that married men are off limits. Where are her morals? Doesn't she have any respect for yourself? Did she expect a call from "Playboy?" If this kind of accusations did not affect, Clinton or the Kennedys why the big hooplah by the left. C'mon, get a life

You haven't heard the background on why she had to come forward. People who knew of her affair with Cain had leaked it to the local media.

Get the full story before mouthing off senseless accusations.

Guess Cain is the Right's answer to Clinton and the Kennedy's. I remember all too well when the Lib's touted that Clinton's affairs were meaningless to the p[iblic and none of their business because it wasn't affecting his political stances. When it's a Republican all hell breaks lose from the Left, yet they insist the Right are the hypocrites......lol. PS: no this does not mean I condon these actions.

The timing of this announcement makes me roll my eyes. But they way things are in the country, I don't even care about all these accusations. I welcome anyone who can fix us! I don't think there is anyone without skeletons in their closets. Bill Clinton had a long list of ladies, but our economy was the best when he was the President.

This woman has NO MORALS so why would anybody listen to her. She said she knew he was married when she had the affair with him. What a SLUT!!! WHO CARES????

[PDinCA]

He knew he was married, too, so why would anyone listen to him? See how silly your argument is?

He should be reassessing the possibility of divorce.

Who gets Cain's crazed minions to divide up? Gingrich? Perry?

Since so many of Cain's supporters are blaming the women and downplaying Cain's lack of morals, I think Gingrich will receive Cain's supporters. That multiple marriage and infidelity thing hanging over the Newt's head won't give the Cain supporters pause as long as he runs on social issues they hold dear. But forget about the Family Values claims this election. They'll wash him whiter than snow
and speak of Newt receiving a message from God. Then they'll be off and running behind him.

Whether he is innocent or guilty of the charges leveled at him by the women coming forward, his reputation as a viable candidate is tainted. Going forward he will surely have other women come forward claiming either sexual harrassment or a triest with him; one or both. He is living in a state of denial regarding what this has done to his already damaged reputation. I'm sure that Gingrich, Gary Hart, Bill Clinton and many others can tell him what his next sensible step should be and that is to give it up.
