94. The allegations

Wed Nov 20, 2024, 09:18 PM

The allegations are that Gaetz had sex with a minor which is a violation of a Florida statute and he facilitated the transport of multiple women across state lines to have sex with him. He ran afoul of both state and federal laws. To put it colloquially not only did he bang a minor but he facilitated the transport of multiple women across state lines so he could bang them.
