Cain left the Restaurant Assn. on June 30, 1999. The agreement between the woman and the NRA wasn't reached until Sept. 1999. He may have been gone before she even filed the complaint.
11/4/11, "Cain did not sign settlement, accuser's lawyer says," CBS News, Jan Crawford
"Cain left the association June 30, 1999, according to the NRA. Under that timeline, Cain would have been gone when the settlement was reached--
- and may well have been gone when she filed the complaint.
Cain has insisted he only knew of one complaint, and says he knew of no legal settlements--only what he calls a severance agreement with one woman.
- This timeline could well bolster his claims.
When Cain ran to represent Georgia in the Senate four years later, he told his advisers there was one complaint against him at the Restaurant Association, and that it was "baseless." One former staffer on the Senate campaign told CBS News that he and other advisers in the campaign knew about that complaint and believed it was meritless, but thought it could crop up in possible opposition research."
