Two women have filed a federal lawsuit in Orlando accusing former Rep. Matt Gaetz of taking part in a sex trafficking scheme while he was still in Congress.

The women, who aren’t named and were in their early 20s when they met Gaetz, allege that he and former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg arranged recruitment, payments, drugs, and travel to get sex from young women between 2017 and January 2019. They say the men promised to help with money and college bills and used that leverage to keep them compliant. The suit also names former Florida legislator Chris Dorworth, whose home was allegedly the site of one of the parties.

Greenberg is serving an 11-year federal sentence after pleading guilty to charges including sex trafficking of a minor. He cooperated with federal investigators looking into Gaetz, but the Justice Department closed that investigation without charging him. A later House Ethics Committee report found that Gaetz had sex with a minor, paid for sex, and used illegal drugs. That report helped sink his nomination for attorney general.

Gaetz denies the allegations and says he looks forward to deposing the women. The plaintiffs’ attorney says the statute of limitations for federal trafficking claims could run out as soon as next year.
