Herman Cain Accuser Satisfied By His Departure, But Not Completely
Sharon Bialek, one of the several women accusing ex-Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment, has called the suspension of his candidacy “bittersweet.”
Bialek, 50, who alleged last month that Cain groped her 14 years ago, told CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” that Cain made the right decision by ending his run.
"But it saddened me because even though he did so, he still has not spoken the truth," said Bialek.

Last month, Bialek came forward with her allegations, saying Cain stuck his hand up her skirt and tried to force her head toward his crotch after a business dinner.
Bialek said Cain asked her, "You want a job, right?" But ended his aggressive advancements when she refused.
"He's trying to blame everything that's happened on everyone else except the one person that he should blame it on, and that's himself," said Bialek.
Cain announced on Saturday that he would end his bid for the White House, but maintains his innocence in the sexual harassment accusations, calling them “false and untrue.”
Cain cited the affect the allegations were having on his family and supporters as his reason for suspending his candidacy.
Bialek said coming forward with her story was “imperative” because she would have felt guilty if Cain "had gone further in the race and perhaps been elected president."
Cain and his supporters have questioned Bialek’s motives. Bialek is currently in a child-support battle with her 13-year-old son’s father. She has also filed for bankruptcy twice.
