Cain accuser says her son encouraged her "to tell on him"

The only woman to so far come forward and publicly accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment did so in part with her 13-year-old son's encouragement, she said Tuesday on CNN.

"He said, 'Mom, I think you need to do the right thing. I think you need to tell on him," Sharon Bialek said on CNN's "American Morning." "That confirmed it for me. If my son is saying it, I want to be the role model for him and other kids growing up."

Bialek alleges Cain groped her following a dinner in 1997. Cain is expected to address her claims in a news conference Tuesday afternoon, according to his campaign.

    I've sent 2 comments about the upcoming smear campaign against Ms. Bialek, but they didn't post. I guess my choice of words didn't fly.
    Hi, Bobcat.

    @pmk1953:
    Howdy.
    I know a people like that in your statement.
    Well, I'm not sure of their financial situation, but the "only I know the truth" part resonates.

      Miss Bialek says she does not want anything, she wants to support the other women and make it easier for them to come forward.

    Bobcat, I'm doing just fine and dandy. I'd be better if the boss wouldn't have gone home this morning, but I can't complain. It's warm and sunny today. I think I'll burn a couple of burgers on the grill later.
