Matt Gaetz faces allegations of paying for sex at Florida house party in 2017

Matt Gaetz is accused of paying two women for sex at a Florida house party in 2017. These allegations were disclosed by the lawyer for the anonymous accusers during an interview with ABC News. The claims date back to when Gaetz was a freshman Congressman. The lawyer stated that his clients testified before a House Ethics Committee investigating Gaetz. This investigation was reportedly dropped after Gaetz resigned from Congress shortly after being named as Donald Trump's attorney general nominee. The allegations include claims that Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl at the party. A report from 2021 indicated that Gaetz's associate, Joel Greenberg, confessed to arranging sexual encounters for Gaetz, including with minors. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.
