WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s still just one woman — Sharon Bialek — who has gone public with her accusations against Herman Cain.
But the name of another woman has emerged — one of the two who filed sexual harassment complaints against Cain when she and Cain worked at a restaurant trade group.
She’s been publicly identified by several news sites as Karen Kraushaar. The Associated Press has chosen to publish her name after independently confirming she was one of the accusers.

Kraushaar is now a spokeswoman for the Treasury Department’s office of inspector general for tax administration.
She and her attorney have tried to keep her name out of the public discussion, but they issued an anonymous statement last week that confirmed she had complained of sexual harassment and received a financial payout from the trade group.
Kraushaar is now confirming to news organizations that she had filed the complaint.
Kraushaar previously worked as a news reporter, and she has held other U.S. government jobs since she left the National Restaurant Association after settling her complaint against Cain. Her husband, a lobbyist, has donated money to Democrats and Republicans.
