According to Fox News, Republican Joel Greenberg was the tax collector in Seminole County, and resigned in June in response to a Federal investigation. Hes accused of using the states motor vehicle database to get information on people with whom he had sexual relationships, and of paying for sex with a child between the ages of 14 and 17. These charges follow those reported by the Orlando Sentinel in July, which included stalking, identity theft of a political opponent, and using his office to create fake drivers licenses for himself.
Now Representative Matt Gaetz is facing public scrutiny for supporting Greenberg. Orlando Politics quoted Gaetz in June, when he suggested that Greenberg would be a good choice for congress. (Greenberg declined to run, though he says that he got many calls from supporters urging him after Gaetz endorsement.)
................................
Voters are calling out the connection, noting the coincidence of Gaetz appearing to spend his spare time with a man who would later be convicted on felony charges, and one who would face charges for child sex trafficking.
