The woman’s claim was that the harassment occurred over months and was not an isolated comment or incident, the source said.
The New York Times reported Tuesday night that a second woman received a settlement of $35,000, or one year’s salary, after Cain made her uncomfortable working at the restaurant association, according to three people with direct knowledge of the payment.
Cain verified Monday that one allegation of sexual harassment was lodged against him during his time at the association but said he did not know of a second. He first said he had no knowledge of a settlement but later said he knew some details of the payout. In interviews, Cain attributed his inconsistent recollections to various factors, including the amount of time that had passed.
