RENO " Divorce papers unsealed in Reno show Nevada First Lady Dawn Gibbons is accusing Gov. Jim Gibbons of having extramarital affairs with two women.

She also says in the filings unsealed by a court order Monday that the Republican governor has been untruthful about his "infidelity" with the two women.

Dawn Gibbons says in court documents that one of the women was Kathy Karrasch. She's the woman the governor used his state cell phone to send more than 860 personal text messages over several weeks.

Gibbons publicly apologized and reimbursed the state $130. He also denied the messages were "love notes."

Dawn Gibbons' lawyers identify the second woman as Leslie Durant, the former wife of ex-Reno Mayor Pete Sferrazza who once posed in Playboy.

The governor maintains both women are just friends.
