Apparently, a young male/female (probably male) staffer was sexually harassed by a TOP DEM official in NC.

Sexual Harassment | North Carolina | Democratic Party | The Daily Caller

Quote:
“If this hits the media, the Democratic Party, our candidates, and our credibility are doomed in this election,” reads one email exchange between state Democratic leaders.
Ummm...it has...the more you try to cover it up, the worse it will be.

Quote:
An email chain between those Democratic leaders, obtained by The Daily Caller, indicates the executive director of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Jay Parmley, and the alleged sexual harassment victim both signed non-disclosure agreements.
Remember, NC is where the dems are holding their convention....excellent. This roiling scandal will be delicious to watch in the run up to the convention.

Even some of the top dem consultants and officials recommend they come clean instead of trying to HIDE what happened.

NC Democratic Party embroiled in sex harassment scandal :: WRAL.com

Quote:
Raleigh, N.C. — Leaders of the North Carolina Democratic Party declined to answer questions Friday about reports that a junior staffer quit working for the party last fall after being sexually harassed by a senior party official.
If they "settled" with him and NOTHING appears on their financial reports...uh oh.

Quote:
Sallie Leslie, a former administrator, quit the state party six weeks ago.

"I, quite frankly, could not be a part of any organization that protected a predator," Leslie said.
Does this mean the staffer was underage?

Oh...double uh oh.

Probably best to come clean, because the GOP certainly will NOT let it go.

Watch the video.

But I thought all women who file sexual harrassment claims are lying dirt bags out to take advantage of men...or at least the was the line when Herman Cains little problems came out....

For the record--I think sexual harrassment is a very big deal. I just have a really hard time taking some of you seriously after the Cain situation, and the way you contorted yourself to defend him. I think the "lying dirtbag" tied with hypocrite label needs to be applied, but it's not to the women who come forward with charges.

Maybe you need to read the link to find out that the harrassee was a male. I didn't see anything about the sex of the harrasser but think there is a possibility it could have been a woman at that end.

You post a humorous post but this time you managed to admit that you didn't read much of the post you answered or the link, either.

If there was a settlement, it's probably pretty likely that all parties are sworn to confidentiality. SOP in these cases.
Unless the OP wants the laws changed so that sexual abuse victims HAVE to divulge their names, etc. to the public????

It is any different than a guy tapping his foot under a stall in a public bathroom in an airport? Sorry but other than your partisan colors, there's no real story here. Politicians on both sides of the aisle get caught up in this kind of thing. That holds true in pretty much every country in the world.

How do you know it was a woman?

You're right--I didn't read it. I rarely bother with links from this OP anymore. You're right though--it could have been a woman or it could have been a man. It doesn't make any difference--if you go back and take a look at the Herman Cain threads here, the case was made pretty clearly that everyone who makes sexual harrassment claims must be lying, because it simply wasn't possible that Herman Cain abused the multiple people who made those charges against him...over and over. By the same logic, this all has to be BS too, right? Or is it DIFFERENT because it's a different party?

Again--hypocrites.
