Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., reportedly paid many people for gender, including a 17-year-old high school girl, and used illicit drugs like cocaine and joy, according to a House Ethics Committee statement. While in business, Gaetz violated a number of Florida state laws that relate to sexual misconduct, according to the 37-page record that was released on Monday morning. ” The Commission concluded there was considerable information that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting adultery, legal assault, illicit drug use, approval of unlawful gifts, the provision of specific favors and privileges, and obstruction of Congress”, the report states. Gaetz has consistently refuted any claims of wrong, and a previous federal investigation ended without fees against him. Gaetz sued earlier on Monday to try to halt the launch of the document. The agency’s report stated that Gaetz” continued to divert, hinder, or fool the Committee in order to avoid his actions from being exposed.” In spite of Gaetz ‘ denials, the report claims that he made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women “likely in connection with physical activity and/or drug use” between 2017 and 2020. In one alleged sexual encounter, Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old minor at a summer 2017 party, according to the committee’s report. Even though the girl, who was identified as” Victim A,” claimed she never told Gaetz her age, the report determined that the act was against Florida’s statutory rape law. According to the draft report,” The Committee received testimony that Victim A and Representative Gaetz had sex twice during the party, including at least once in front of other party attendees.” The 17-year-old girl claimed to have received$ 400 in cash from Gaetz,” which she understood to be payment for sex”, according to the report. She claimed she saw Gaetz use cocaine and was under the influence of ectasy at the time of the sexual encounter. Johnson allegedly had sex with her, but he later admitted to doing so because he wanted to end her’dishonest ‘ behavior. In his report, the committee claimed that it had not heard any evidence that Gaetz knew the girl was a minor. Additionally, the report alleges that Gaetz “intentionally withheld information” regarding a trip to the Bahamas with women and refused to comply with a subpoena demanding an interview. The committee said it obtained text messages Gaetz allegedly sent to women, asking them to bring drugs” to their rendezvous”, referring to drugs as “party favors”, “rolls” or “vitamins “.In interviews with the committee, witnesses said they observed Gaetz using marijuana, the report states. The multi-year investigation into Gaetz, which involved allegations of sex with a minor and illicit drug use, abruptly ended last month when he abruptly quit his position in Congress shortly after being appointed attorney general by President-elect Trump. In response to quiet but consistent GOP opposition, Gaetz later dropped out of consideration for the position. After Congressman Gaetz ‘ resignation, the House Ethics Committee was unable to continue its investigation into the allegations brought against him. As stated in the report, the committee “has typically not released its findings after losing jurisdiction in a matter,” but the majority of committee members decided that the findings should be made public because they were in the public interest.
