Matt Gaetz sued by two women over alleged sex trafficking; Joel Greenberg, Christopher Dorworth also named in lawsuit

Two women have sued former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz and two others over allegations of involvement in a sex trafficking scheme. The lawsuit was filed by Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 in the Middle District of Florida, according to the Miami Herald. The women allege that Gaetz, along with Joel Greenberg and Christopher Dorworth, took part in a scheme involving young women, drugs and travel across state lines from 2017 to January 2019.

Greenberg, who is now serving an 11-year prison sentence, is accused of using Seeking Arrangement to recruit the women and then introducing them to Gaetz and Dorworth. The women claim they were given drugs at parties and private homes and received payments from Gaetz, with one receiving over $6,000 and the other over $4,000. Gaetz has denied parts of the claims, stating he looks forward to confronting the allegations during depositions.
