Family values.

Sex work is work, no shade on her but the hypocrisy is Gates and Co are abhorrent.

    Meh. Lemme know when they have evidence of the minors. I have no problem with adults trading money for sex. Sure, he might have lied about it, but that can be explained by the stigmatization of the act by society.

    Don't get me wrong. I hate the guy. But this is pretty not-so-damning in my mind.

    Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?

    Because if you could buy sex, then the rest of our economy collapses.

    Or only the rich get to indulge while the rest of us are punished.

    Either way. Prolly more options.

  • Maybe that would be true if he was personally paying for sex, but he was paying her to have sex with other men. That muddies the waters alot. There's an assumption of control since he's rich and well connected. To me this isn't much different than what Espsein was doing. Flying girls to islands for sexual favors with business partners.

    Perhaps read the story next time?

    the woman, who was older than 21 at the time

    This has nothing to do with the allegations about him fucking a 17-yo, who being less than 365-days from majority was hardly a "child". Illegal and immoral? Of course, and add some more "immoral" on top. Child? Yeah, not really. I was fucking like a jack rabbit at 17.

    As to that case, we got no witnesses. Joel Greenberg (same guy as in this story) was supposed to roll on Gaetz post-conviction. He did not. The woman involved started an OnlyFans site. Not a star prosecution witness, and on top of that, she refused.

    THIS might be something we can nail him with. He's my Congressman, I've been watching and waiting.

    Well at least it was a woman and not an underage cuban boy.
