Sexual charges
In late 2020, the Department of Justice opened an investigation into allegations that Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl in exchange for money in violation of federal sex trafficking laws, which Gaetz denied. [6][7][8]
In April 2021, the House Ethics Committee also announced an investigation.[9] In September 2022, career prosecutors recommended not to charge Gaetz in the sex-trafficking investigation, telling Justice Department superiors that a conviction is unlikely in part because of credibility questions about the two central witnesses.[10], leaving open the question of whether the whole investigation might have been a politically motivated operation.
