LIVE UPDATES:

Gloria Allred: "Instead of receiving help from Mr. Cain, he decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package."

Allred alleges that Cain engaged in "aggressive sexual behavior" toward Bialek when she asked for his advice.

Allred: I for one am disgusted at Herman Cain's serial harassment of women.

Bialek said that she met Mr. Cain during a conference for the National Restaurant Association when she worked for the NRA's education foundation in Chicago during 1996. Says Cain invited her and her boyfriend to a private party in his hotel suite.

She was let go from the NRA soon after. She arranged a meeting with Mr. Cain in Washington to talk about her career prospects.

She says her boyfriend paid for the trip and a hotel room, but Cain hooked her up with a "palatial suite" in Washington, D.C. Cain told her later that he had arranged for the "upgrade."

Bialek described what happened when Cain took her to NRA headquarters:

"I thought that we were going into the offices so that he could show me around. I was wearing a black pleated skirt, a blouse and a suit jacket. He had on a suit jacket without a tie.?Instead of going in he suddenly reached over and put his hand on my leg, under my skirt and reached for my genitals.?He also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch.?I was surprised and shocked and I said, "What are you doing? You know I have a boyfriend. This is not what I came here for."?Mr. Cain said, "You want a job, right?".?I asked him to stop and he did. I asked him to take me back to my hotel which he did."

Bialek says she didn't file a complaint with the trade group because she didn't work for the NRA at the time.

"I am coming forward to give a face and a voice to those women who, for whatever reason, cannot come forward," she said.

Bialek concludes: "Mr. Cain, I implore you, make this right so that you and the country can move forward."

Allred wouldn't let the press ask Bialek any questions. She says Bialek is not filing any claim against Cain or the NRA. She adds that Bialek approached her, but is not interested in selling her story.

When pressed reporters to define whether Bialek's accusations actually involved sexual assault, rather than just sexual harassment, Allred demurred.

UPDATE 2:17, p.m.: Cain's campaign has fired back with a statement.

Update, 2:30 p.m.: Allred and Bialek are back to read the sworn testimonies of the two people Bialek told about the incident with Cain, her boyfriend at the time and a friend. Allred says she is not releasing their names "at this time."

Allred said she asked for the statements to corroborate her client's claims.

Bialek refused to answer questions as to whether she believes Cain is fit to be president ? and would not say whether she would vote for Cain.

Bialek is currently scheduled to appear on multiple cable and network news shows in the coming days.
