Lawsuit by 2 women accuses ex-Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz of sex trafficking
Two women have filed a lawsuit against former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz, alleging that he and other men sexually exploited them in violation of federal anti-trafficking laws. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Orlando, alleges that Gaetz and others provided drugs, paid the women for sex, and arranged out-of-state travel and lodging for them in 2017 when they were in their early 20s.
Gaetz denies the allegations and has mocked the women on social media. The lawsuit also names other individuals and businesses linked to Gaetz's alleged schemes.
