    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 24 18:56:48 2024
    Gaetz 'has a real problem here,' former Ethics chairman says after
    report released

    Former GOP Rep. Dent predicts that few Republicans will come to
    Gaetz's defense.
    ...
    ...
    "I can't see any members of the Republican Party in Washington, D.C.,
    in Congress coming to his defense in this matter," he said of Gaetz's
    political future. "He's made his own bed, they're going to let him lie
    in it."

    His most pressing concern should be the fact that he had sex with an underage girl. He could possibly be facing legal consequences for his actions

    Well, I think the question here is... was it based on voluntary, informed consent? Also, did they both enjoy it? I have not been able to find out.

    That's called statutory rape. Not as bad as forcible rape but bad enough
    to ruin him for life.

    That actually depends on the state. Some states have the "age of
    consent" set at 16, others higher.

    "Statutory rape in Florida defines that it is illegal for a person of
    24 years or older to engage in sexual activity with a minor who is 16
    or 17 years old. Even if there was consent to the sexual act,
    according to the statutory rape law, the adult can be charged with a second-degree felony."

    So what do we do with the 17 year old whore? Let her go scot-free?

    I suspect that US tradition is to "burn the witch". ;)

    Unknown at what point in time did he flash money in her face, for how
    much each time, and before/after drug usage.

    Do women have agency or don't they?

    Teenagers vs women....I know nothing of specifics here.

    "The report found that Gaetz paid $90,000 to 12 women, a substantial
    portion of which the panel found was likely for either sexual activity
    or drug use." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-report-finds-matt-gaetz-violated-law-with-sexual-misconduct-drug-use-2024-12-23/

    I'd say sex cost the most....offering a teenager say $5,000.00 is
    temptation to consider, especially for 'poorer' teens.

    Depends on if they are married or not. If they are married, obviously
    their husband is responsible for them and their choices. They must obey,
    as per the bible, their husband.

    If they are not married, their father or brother should take care of them.
    But since I read here that we are talking about a whore of babylon, she probably did not have a loving father or brother to guide her choices in
    life. =(

    This is very expensive. I've had offers for between 20 and 50 euros. He
    must not be a good negotiator!

    The problem he has is that he's a massive douchebag with a smarmy,
    puncheable face.

    A sexual predator is someone who seeks out sexual contact with others
    in a predatory or abusive manner. They may or may not have committed
    sex crimes, but they have sought out inappropriate contact in some
    way.
