This is disgusting but what is also egregious is the House surrounding and protecting this criminal while punishing the ‘little woman’ for speaking truth to power.

Once you’ve plied someone with drugs and alchohol and they are no longer in a postion to provide consent, having sex with them is rape. This is the MO of many Frat rats.

It’s fitting that Gaetz’s face mask has an anchor on it.

I walk up to you. I offer you Ecstasy. You willingly take it. You’ve taken it before. You know it reduces your inhibitions and impairs your judgment. We have sex. You are now a victim? At any point does taking personal responsibility for your choices and the consequences of those choices become part of the discussion?
So, if someone is passed out drunk, sounds like you would justify rapping them?

That is an incredibly naive statement.

Doesn’t someone who is older that confronts a woman, who is much younger (18 is a legal age, not a pshycological age) and is intoxicated, have the option of not being a scumbag and decline to have sex.

Sure, because no woman ever says no thank you and walks away.
Calling this “child sex trafficking” because one of the college students wasn’t yet 18 seems excessive to me. We’re not talking about the child kidnapping mafias the law was designed for. But even IF they had all been 18, that does not make it OK, as Gaetz wants us to accept. A 38 year old congressman buying sex from college students is sick, disgusting, wrong, and should be disqualifying, legal or not.

This is an investigation that moves incredibly slowly - particularly when it concerns this elusive seventeen-year-old’s connection to Gaetz. I keep in the back of my mind that investigations that move slowly typically grind exceedingly finely.

I know women who are afraid of ALL men after what happened to them, and ashamed of themselves for being afraid to speak up. You are making it worse by blaming the victim.

Well early on it was reported that Joel broke his bail and left the state looking for his wife.

It’s not a matter of blaming the victim. I’m advocating that all people exercise prudent judgment in what they do. Whatever it is. Every day.
A guy loses an eye running a turret lathe. The shop foreman points out it wouldn’t have happened had he been wearing safety glasses. The shop foreman, in relaying his observation to the employee, has blamed the victim?
How long before the first story involving rohypnol or the like comes out? Still plenty of slots open in the betting pool.

Meaning no insult… I’m not certain your expectations of the speed of the Criminal Justice System in this country are rooted in reality. No prosecutor is ever going to rush to indict a sitting member of Congress.

Most alcoholics don’t befriend pimps and pay for sex with underage women, so despite the damage they may cause, Gaetz’s behavior is a bit further down the spiraling road.

Well at least he didn’t tell the truth about TMFWSNBN.
