I can't imagine the photos will help Governor Gibbons' divorce case, and it's even less likely anybody will believe his claim that he was merely "consoling" the woman.
Too many folks will remember the time he "consoled" a cocktail waitress in a parking lot just before he was elected governor in 2006:

Super-interesting tidbit that for some reason I waited to share until the very end of this post: The Gleaner says the woman in the new photos is believed to be Leslie Durant, formerly Leslie Sferrazza. As The Gleaner notes, that's the very same Leslie Sferrazza who had a pictorial in the September 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine.
And yes, Gibbons is a Republican. Of course.
