Exactly what Federal Crime do you think Gaetz committed?
I don't know. I suspect the House Ethics Committee knows, and has a nice report on it all ready to go.
I suspect that the Federal crimes were tenuous, and that the states could bring action, so it's up to the states, or DV, wherever it happened.
Heavens to Murgatroyd!
Statutory rape is nothing to joke about. It is a serious crime that commonly leaves the minor with long-term emotional scars.
The reference to crossing state lines is what happened to Chuck Berry. Personally, I think the age for statutory rape should be 16 as the Euros do, not 18. A good chunk of our famous rock n rollers could've been convicted of statutory rape, but we were after Chuck Berry. I don't like Matt Gaetz, but that she was 17 doesn't bother me. That there were drug fueled sex orgies, doesn't bother me. Now if he charged the Feds for the drug fueled orgy, that bothers me. And if he paid the prostitutes with Fed money that bothers me.
And I will lighten up the conversation and not worry about someone taking moral stances. My morals are as good as anyone's. I just have a different view.
It's only been recently we've been willing to convict Uncle Danny for what he did to the young girls. One of the reasons I boycott Denny's isn't because of the few cents more that the workers will get for picking tomatoes, it's because the farmers agree to terms that significantly lessen the rape that happens to the pickers. That makes it worth much more.
