The woman who accused a GOP congressman and Nevada gubernatorial hopeful of assaulting her in a parking lot in the wee hours last week gave a press conference today in Las Vegas.
Christy Mazzeo, the 32-year-old woman who says Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV) pushed her up against a wall and made unwanted sexual advances, told reporters this afternoon that she drank four or five glasses of wine that evening, “but I was not stumbling drunk.” Mazzeo had joined Gibbons and others at the Las Vegas McCormick and Schmick’s before the encounter.
Gibbons denies any wrongdoing.
