Jim Gibbons in the center of controversy

With election day less than two weeks away, Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Jim Gibbons finds himself the center of controversy. The latest allegation involves a former nanny for the Gibbons family, who was apparently an illegal immigrant. And Wednesday, the woman accusing Gibbons of sexual assault will tell her side of the story.
The cocktail waitress involved in the sexual assault accusation says she wants to set the record straight. Chrissy Mazzeo made several calls to 911 operators claiming she had been assaulted by Gibbons.
Those calls came after the two had drinks together with several others on October 13th at McCormick & Schmick's restaurant, near Paradise and Flamingo. Mazzeo, 32, made three 911 calls that night.
She filed a police report, alleging Gibbons began flirting with her over drinks. The rambling nature of that call and two other calls brings into question her state that night. For his part, candidate Gibbons denies any wrongdoing.
