Looks like Nevada has yet another reason in the news to be embarrassed. Our soon-to-be divorced Governor is being sued by the cocktail waitress who accused him of sexual harassment in the past. The suit alleges the Governor and others violated her due process and equal protection rights. (Complaint available here)
The Las Vegas cocktail waitress who accused then gubernatorial candidate Jim Gibbons of assault two years ago is suing the governor.
Chrissy Mazzeo claims, in October of 2006, Gibbons pushed her against a wall and propositioned her in a parking garage. No charges were ever filed.
The Governor responded that the claims were "groundless". (RJ)
However, in a more interesting note for the Nevada Bar, prominent trial attorney Don Campbell is also named in the civil suit. The plaintiff alleges that Campbell destroyed videotapes that allegedly showed Governor Gibbons making unwanted advances on former cocktail waitress Chrissy Mazzeo.
I think I should file a lawsuit against this woman claiming that she sexually harassed me and that she destroyed the only evidence of it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Robert Kossack. I've never heard of you, but you've got your work cut out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck defending the future abuse of process or malicious prosecution case that will likely be coming.
