She may be lying, and she may be telling the truth!

Robert Uithoven, Just as Smart as Gibbons! wrote on October 14, 2008 11:16 PM: The Gibbon's gubernatorial campaign manager, Robert Uithoven, speculated in an e-mail to Gibbons' supporters that Dina Titus, Gibbons' opponent, hired the woman to entice Gibbons. Titus retorted that to do this she would have had to control where Gibbons went, who he was with, and even the weather (Gibbons claimed he was helping the woman to her car in part because of the weather).

Vegas Justice wrote on October 14, 2008 11:11 PM: In October 2006, a woman accused Jim Gibbons of attempted sexual assault in a parking garage. Gibbons claimed he was helping her to her car. They both admitted to drinking alcohol at McCormick and Schmick's restaurant in Las Vegas.

In the initial aftermath of the event, Las Vegas Sheriff Bill Young, a long time supporter of Jim Gibbons and donor to his gubernatorial campaign, cited lack of evidence in the case and refused to bring evidence of the attack to the District Attorney. His accuser did not initially want to pursue pressing charges, saying she just wanted "to be left alone." But when the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was forced to open the incident case file after inquiries by Las Vegas media, the Las Vegas Review Journal and the Las Vegas Sun released her name and the woman was thrust into the public eye. She later said she was being pressured to not talk to the police about the incident by people close to Jim Gibbons.[37] In fact, the Gibbon's campaign hired a private investigator to "talk" to the woman shortly after the incident occurred.[38]

Under pressure from the media and eventually the accuser, Sheriff Bill Young famously taunted the alleged victim to "bring it on" and sign a formal complaint. This is a highly irregular step as most victims of assault are not required to sign a complaint before an investigation can begin. Nevertheless, she signed the complaint and there was a further investigation. The evidence was given to the Las Vegas District Attorney, David Roger, who also donated to the Gibbons' Campaign. Charges were never filed in the case.

To those involved in this cheap case: Please send a Message to Plaintiff. No easy money.

There are much larger problems in the world.

Bill Clinton said he would do it as long as she used a cigar again. And what is wrong with her neck - is it broken. BREAKING NEWS: OJ and CJ wed at CCDC.

Sad Summerlin wrote on October 14, 2008 10:15 PM: mark - Gibbons and Young are not running, but it is politically damaging again to Republicans for this to be out there... this adds to anti-Gibbons sentiment and provides fodder for associated races...

Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum... this only benefits Democrats in the race...

Sandie --- I hope someday you are not accused of something you did not do, only to be tried in the court of public opinion and found guilty....

Again... there has already been an investigation and no charges were filed. If there is any beef, it is with the police only... the fact that this woman has blanketed the governor, Mossett-Puhek, Young and the department shows that this is to smear, not to correct injustice...

If it was purely about injustice, this case would have been filed any time previous in the 12 months against the Police for a failure to perform their duty....

Sorry... but this case again smells as corruption...

If the case against the police alone would have been proven, then she could have gone after the Governor again...
