Orlando: So, there’s this wild report that just came out about Matt Gaetz. It claims he was involved in some pretty serious stuff while he was in Congress. We’re talking about paying for sex with a 17-year-old and using drugs like cocaine and ecstasy. Crazy, right?
The House Ethics Committee found a ton of evidence showing that Gaetz was regularly paying for sex. He even met women through a sugar dating site, which is just wild. His buddy, who’s already in trouble for sex trafficking, helped him out with this whole scene.
According to the report, Gaetz broke a bunch of rules that Congress has about things like prostitution and drug use. It’s a pretty damning picture of his time in office, especially since he was a big supporter of Trump and made a name for himself in right-wing media.
He was even in the running to be the U.S. attorney general at one point! But after all these allegations came to light, he stepped down and pulled his name from consideration. Now, he’s working with One America News Network and might even run for office again.
Gaetz has been adamant that he did nothing wrong. He even filed a lawsuit to stop the report from being made public, claiming it was full of defamatory stuff.
One of the most shocking parts? The report says he had sex with a 17-year-old girl at a party shortly after he took office. She testified that she was under the influence of ecstasy and received cash from him, which she thought was payment for sex. Gaetz was 35 at the time, which raises a lot of eyebrows.
He and his associate were apparently spending tens of thousands of dollars on women for sex, and they were using apps like PayPal and Venmo to pay them. The report mentions over $90,000 paid to 12 different women between 2017 and 2020. That’s a lot of cash!
And it doesn’t stop there. Gaetz was also accused of using drugs at these parties. Text messages show he was asking for “party favors” and was often under the influence of marijuana, cocaine, or ecstasy. It’s a pretty wild scene.
While all the women said their relationships with him were consensual, some mentioned that the drugs might have impaired their ability to fully consent. One woman even said she felt coerced into having sex with him because she needed money for tuition.
In the end, the committee found substantial evidence that Gaetz violated several laws, but they didn’t find enough to charge him with federal sex trafficking. It’s a complicated situation, and it seems like there’s still a lot more to unpack.
