The Kraashauer Factor

[brooklynite]

from http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/">Andrew Sullivan:

Judging from Gloria Borger's reporting on CNN just now, Karen Kraashauer, the woman who filed a sexual harassment complaint against Herman Cain, and won a settlement, is now clearly angry about Cain's denials. And I can understand why. He's saying she never experienced sexual harassment and saying that is a "fact." If I'd been sexually harassed by a boss years ago and had thought it was over with but then had to hear him say publicly it never happened at all, I'd be furious. It's a second kind of emotional assault. She wants to get all five women together to tell their tales.

More to the point, she says she has the complete documentation of her sexual harassment in her possession, in explicit detail, and is now released from any confidentiality agreement. Borger also reported that Kraashauer insisted that the settlement agreement was specifically on the grounds of sexual harassment, and for $46,000, a year's salary.

oops....
