Disputed Sex Trafficking Allegations Against Gaetz

  • Hosts argue sex‑trafficking claims against Gaetz were an overreach; allegations centered on dating a 17‑year‑old he claims he didn't know was underage.
  • Stu notes leaked Venmo patterns show payments from Gaetz and an imprisoned associate, but none directly to the 17‑year‑old.
ADVICE

If You Doubt Age Avoid It

  • If you suspect someone might be underage, avoid involvement; Stu's practical rule: "If you have the question in your mind don't do it."
  • He warns a fake or misread ID isn't a sufficient defense and advises checking thoroughly.
