Former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz is facing intensifying legal scrutiny regarding allegations of sex trafficking. Initially, a Department of Justice investigation focused on whether Gaetz violated federal laws involving a minor, a probe potentially bolstered by a possible plea deal and cooperation from former Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg. This scrutiny expanded into the civil legal arena when two women filed a federal civil lawsuit in the Middle District of Florida. The complaint alleges that between 2017 and 2019, Gaetz, Greenberg, and former Florida State Representative Christopher Dorworth participated in a scheme to recruit young women, supply them with drugs, and transport them across state lines for sexual encounters. The plaintiffs claim the defendants provided drugs to facilitate these encounters and paid for travel, lodging, and other expenses. Gaetz has denied the allegations, characterizing much of the conduct as false. He has argued that the claims rely heavily on a previous Congressional Committee report that did not allow him to confront his accusers, and he has expressed interest in taking the plaintiffs' depositions to address the matter.
