Gaetz associate pleading guilty to sex trafficking minor and 5 other felonies
US Rep Matt Gaetz has admitted in court documents to sex trafficking a minor, among several other felonies,
and will agree to cooperate with the US Department of Justice, potentially aiding prosecutors in a related investigation involving the Republican lawmaker.
Mr Greenberg admitted to introducing a “minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts” with her. The men were not named.
The former Seminole County tax chief also agreed to plead guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud in addition to the trafficking charge, pending agreements among prosecutors to dismiss the other 27 counts against him – in exchange for his cooperation with prosecutors “in the investigation and prosecutions of other persons, and to testify” in related proceedings.
In the event that he provides “substantial assistance” in those cases, he may be eligible for a more lenient prison sentence than what is outlined in federal sentencing guidelines.
