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 dating”website that arranged “mutually beneficial relationships,” usually with younger women and older men. That’s 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.

During a Justice Department investigation into Greenberg’s alleged illegal political activities, the DOJ learned about the girl and the connection to Gaetz, who was first elected to Congress in 2016.
