A late-night court filing made Thursday in Florida alleges that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) attended a “drug-fueled sex party” in 2017 with a 17-year-old girl who is part of a sex trafficking investigation, according to Jose Pagliery of NOTUS.
“The minor, who was a junior in high school at the time, arrived in her mother’s car for a July 15, 2017, party at the Florida home of Chris Dorworth, a lobbyist and friend of Gaetz’s, according to a court filing written by defense attorneys who interviewed witnesses as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit Dorworth brought in 2023.”
Gaetz allegedly engaged in the use of illegal drugs and sex with a minor, both of which are felonies in Florida.
“The discovery taken in this case to date reflects that on Saturday, July 15, 2017 … Dorworth, hosted a party at his residence … with the following guests present: (1) A.B.; (2) K.M.; (3) B.G.; (4) Matt Gaetz,” lawyers wrote in the filing, also listing several others. The defense lawyers filed testimonies from those three women — who the attorneys say placed Gaetz at Dorworth’s house that night — under seal pending a judge’s approval to make the records public.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied engaging in any illegal behavior, telling former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in 2021, “The person doesn’t exist. I have not had a relationship with a 17-year-old. That is totally false.”
However, this latest testimony suggests that Gaetz has been lying all along, with phone records undercutting his claims of innocence, Pagliery notes.
The defense lawyers also relied on Dorworth’s geolocated cell phone records, which showed that he communicated constantly with the congressman that day.The defense’s court filings show a hired digital forensic examiner identified Gaetz’s number, which has a Florida panhandle 850 area code and texted back and forth 30 times that day and then called Dorworth twice in the hours before the evening revelry. “B.G., another attendee at that party, confirmed A.B.’s testimony under penalty of perjury,” defense lawyers wrote.
Rather than comment on the latest allegations against him, Gaetz has been railing on podcasts and social media about what he calls “five assassination teams targeting Trump.” However, he has yet to provide a shred of evidence to bolster those claims.
Sounds like it’s about time for the Department of Justice to open a new criminal investigation of Matt Gaetz. He needs to be held accountable if he played any role in these parties.
