A 17-year-old with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men. She wants the public to have a fuller understanding of how she was victimized.

    Holy shit so this is the actual details.

    Matt Gaetz was twice her age. Even if she was 18, he was 35. Gross buddy!

      Yeah, when a grown-ass man is fucking teenagers I assume it’s because they want someone to control and/or exploit.

        This is exactly it. Money was involved too.

        Apparently “I didn’t know the prostitute was 17!” works in Florida as long as you’re a Gaetz.

        Idk about that. Assuming we’re talking sex with no emotional connections, we’re (as a species, regardless of outliers) biologically wired to find teenagers and young adults the sexiest, since they’re going to trigger most of the signs our subconscious is looking for.

        Just look at the data from pornhub et al. It’s undeniable.
