But sure, we are supposed to fear brown immigrants instead of the predators actually abusing underage girls in America.

(39,484 posts)The documents continued that the girl met Gaetz at a party where she took cocaine and ecstasy and allegedly had sex with Gaetz twice for $400. She later told congressional investigators that she saw Gaetz use cocaine that night.
During a Justice Department investigation into Greenbergs alleged illegal political activities, the DOJ learned about the girl and the connection to Gaetz, who was first elected to Congress in 2016....
Greenberg, who cooperated in the case against Gaetz, pleaded guilty to underage sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking, identity theft, producing a fake ID card, and conspiring to defraud the US government. He was handed an 11-year sentence.

She was 17 at the time, but she lied and said she was 18. The website never checked her real age, and neither did Joel Greenberg. Woops! I'm wondering if this is what cost him his job? He later resigned from his seat in the House.

(2,247 posts)... women/girls are routinely ignored by law enforcement and courts routinely given mere slaps on the hands should a male abuser found guilty... see any newspaper over the last 5 years for those men getting light sentencing on charges of rape, sexual assault, spousal abuse, and child abuse.

(4,017 posts)She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonalds. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter, The Times story began. Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for companionship with young women looking to make money.
According to the report by the House Ethics Committee, the girl signed up with a sugar datingwebsite that arranged mutually beneficial relationships, usually with younger women and older men. Thats when she met Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg who allegedly paid her $400 for sexual encounters.
The documents continued that the girl met Gaetz at a party where she took cocaine and ecstasy and allegedly had sex with Gaetz twice for $400. She later told congressional investigators that she saw Gaetz use cocaine that night.

(848 posts)Surely there's an attorney in Florida who would take this on for contingency. Gaetz needs to face some consequences, if only to his checkbook.
