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.
