LAS VEGAS (AP) - Sig Rogich, a savvy political adviser who has counseled presidents, said he regrets not walking Rep. Jim Gibbons back to his hotel room on one fateful night two weeks ago.
Rogich had dinner with Gibbons, a gubernatorial candidate, and some supporters at McCormick & Schmick's in Las Vegas two Fridays ago. After dinner, they went into the bar to wait out a rainstorm. There, they were eventually joined by four women.
After a raucous night of drinking in an atmosphere that a restaurant employee told police was "flirty," Rogich walked the candidate to the door, and he said he saw him go toward his hotel, a few hundred feet away.
One of the women, 32-year-old Chrissy Mazzeo, had been sitting with Gibbons and Rogich and accused Gibbons of assaulting her in a parking garage. Gibbons said he was just walking her to her truck, and that she slipped, and he kept her from falling.
