Where this statement fits
Two women sue Matt Gaetz under the federal anti-trafficking law; Gaetz says much of the alleged conduct is false
Two women identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 sued former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz in federal court in Orlando on October 15, 2026, under the civil provisions of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Their complaint says Gaetz and former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg coordinated the recruitment, payments, drugs and travel used to obtain commercial sex acts from the women between 2017 and January 2019, and that former state representative Christopher Dorworth knowingly took part. Gaetz said much of the conduct alleged against him is false and that the suit relies almost exclusively on a House Ethics Committee report that did not let him confront his accusers. No court has ruled on the allegations.
