In other posts including screenshots from from depositions, Gaetz boasted that a woman he is alleged to have trafficked and had sex with while she was 17 replied “No. I wouldn’t say that,” after being asked if “anybody trafficked” her, and submitted that what he did was “clearly not prostitution under any conceivable definition.”

Guess what, whether the witness (victim?) was trafficked for sex is not the witness' (victim's?) decision to make, because she is not a judge.

This deposition was many years after the incident(s) being discussed.
