Another bomb has fallen in Matt Gaetz’s ever-escalating teenage sex and prostitution scandal.
The Daily Beast spoke to several women who claim to have been paid by anti-gay congressional winger / alleged pimp Joel Greenberg and that they “felt compelled” to drink alcohol, take drugs and use drugs. have sex.
Twelve women spoke on condition of anonymity about their experiences with Greenberg and his pals. Ten of them said they were strongly encouraged at some point to take drugs before having sex.
“I was under the influence of so many drugs,” said one woman, who shared a receipt that said she was paid $ 375 by Greenberg. “I wasn’t really in a position to say that I didn’t want to do this. I was not on my mind. I was over my head and it was pretty scary.
Another woman said she had pretended to take ecstasy and when Greenberg found out that she hadn’t really taken it, he got angry and insisted she do. “I left immediately afterwards and got sick on the way home,” she recalls.
And another woman said she had “never seen so many drugs.”
The Daily Beast reports:
Four women said Greenberg specifically offered to introduce them to a friend of his, “a member of Congress,” whom they believed to be Gaetz. (These four women noted, however, that they had never met Gaetz.)
Another woman said Greenberg told her the congressman was among a dozen other men at a house party she briefly attended in April 2017. She said she left early. because the situation at home made her uncomfortable.
This latest bombshell comes barely two weeks after the leak of a letter written by Greenberg to Roger Stone which showed him begging Donald Trump for forgiveness. In it, Greenberg confessed that he and Gaetz paid several women for sex, including a 17-year-old girl.
“On more than one occasion this person has been involved in sexual activity with several of the other girls, the congressman from the 1st Florida Congressional District and myself,” the letter states. “Every now and then money or gifts for gasoline, rent or partial school fees were paid to several of these girls, including the one who was not yet 18.”
The letter goes on to say that Greenberg “called the congressman and warned him to stay away from this person and informed him that she was a minor” and that the Florida Republican was “just as shocked. and disturbed ”when he learned that she was still a minor who had not yet graduated from high school.
Meanwhile, multiple media reported earlier this week that federal investigators were almost done collecting evidence against Gaetz and that his ex-girlfriend may soon cooperate with the investigation.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
