Allegations of Exploitation and Payments
The plaintiffs, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, were 20 and 22 years old, respectively, when they were introduced to Gaetz in the summer of 2017, according to the complaint. The lawsuit alleges that Greenberg recruited the women through the website SeekingArrangement.com when they lacked stable income.
According to the filing, Gaetz paid the plaintiffs approximately $10,000 for sexual encounters while he was in Congress. Specifically, the complaint states that Jane Doe 1 received more than $6,000 from Gaetz, while Jane Doe 2 received more than $4,000. The lawsuit notes that payment descriptions included text reading "Being my friend," "car deductible" and "Love you."
The complaint alleges that the defendants coordinated recruitment, payments, drugs, and travel to arrange paid sexual encounters between 2017 and 2019. It claims the men arranged or financed travel for the women and other alleged victims to Miami, Las Vegas, the Florida Keys, and New York City. The lawsuit also cites more than 150 transactions totaling over $70,000 that Greenberg allegedly made between December 2016 and December 2018 to pay women for commercial sexual acts.
One of the plaintiffs alleges she witnessed Gaetz having sex with a girl who was 17 at the time. This individual, identified in the complaint as Victim A, is not one of the two plaintiffs bringing the suit.
