A noteworthy paragraph for context:

The minor, who was a junior in high school at the time, arrived in her mother’s car for a July 15, 2017, party at the Florida home of Chris Dorworth, a lobbyist and friend of Gaetz’s, according to a court filing written by defense attorneys who interviewed witnesses as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit Dorworth brought in 2023.

And shortly following that, this:

One eyewitness cited in the court filings, a young woman referred to as K.M., provided a sworn affidavit that claimed the teenage girl was naked, partygoers were there to “engage in sexual activities,” and “alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy … and marijuana” were present. The teenage girl was identified in the filings only as A.B.

This is all horrible.

The article then goes into detail about recent developments with testimony. Many dots appear to be connected.
- What kind of parent drops their kid off at an adult’s party the parent is not also attending?
  
  A well-paid one, I guess.
  
  I'll go throw up now.
  
  I read it as the kid drove herself there in her mom's car.
Will someone not rid me of the this troublesome pedophile?
- Damn that is a good burn.
It's looking more and more like his big fight with Kevin McCarthy was just about delaying this investigation. Shameful!
Everyone pay close attention to how quickly nothing is done about this. Then be sure to forget about it in a week or so when Trump says some new dumb shit.
Goddamn, my bingo card filling up quick
- We need cards with asterisks.
Is this more detail on the prior reports of him being a human trafficking pedophile that came out years ago, or something new?
- Yep. ~~Mysteriously~~ dropped, iirc.
  
  Edit: It wasn’t mysterious, there were legitimate reasons.
  
  Nothing mysterious, no evidence. Everyone figured his buddy would squeal to spare himself jail time. Nada. The 17-yo girl in question wouldn't testify either. Also, she had since started an OF site and prosecution felt she would get torn up as a witness.
Why fucking bother? They're just going to do what they did last time and let him go.
- No, he wasn't "let go". The feds didn't have the evidence and the witnesses wouldn't talk. Now it's different.
  
  Now it’s different.
  
  Sure it is.
Also: whatever happened with his adopted black son?
Gosh, I thought the weird Gaetz was already absolved of all crimes, or something.

LOL!
