Herman Cain denies claim of 13-year extramarital affair

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has denied claims by a Georgia woman that she had a long extramarital relationship with him. Even before Ginger White's allegations were aired, Mr Cain went on cable television to say he knew her, but that her story was false. Ms White told an Atlanta TV station she had a 13-year affair with Mr Cain. The claims come weeks after four women accused the Georgia businessman of sexual harassment during the 1990s. His poll ratings have slipped since those allegations emerged. Ms White, 46, told Fox 5 Atlanta on Monday evening: "It was fun. It was something that took me away from my humdrum life at the time. And it was exciting."
