BURNETT: General and of course, Congressman, when you served in Congressman Matt Gaetz also did. He was at the Pentagon today. He posted a photo of himself in the room. He wrote very informative briefing today. And just to remind everybody, he was not just in Congress. He was Trump's original pick for attorney general months ago. He's now host on the MAGA outlet, OANN.
Matt Gaetz could easily afford a high priced escort, but instead he chose to take advantage of a 17 year old girl who was in and out of homeless shelters and working at McDonald's. He paid $400 to have sex with her twice. Prison isn't enough. https://t.co/ppmXnRV1AQ - emily may (@emilykmay) November 13, 2025
She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald's. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter. Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for companionship with young women looking to make money.
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images) Newly-unsealed federal court documents revealed the devastating story of a homeless 17-year old who allegedly had sex with former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for money so she could buy braces to straighten her teeth. A federal judge in Florida unsealed the civil case documents in October following a request from the McClatchy newspaper chain, according to The New York Times.
