Matt Gaetz paid minor with thousands for drugs, sex; never asked her age

​​There is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress, the report said. But the report also found that Gaez did not violate sex trafficking laws. The 17-year-old admitted that she did not inform Gaetz that she was under 18 at that time and nor did Gaetz ask her age.
