Roughly the top half of the 70-page file[1] is a report by a bipartisan U.S. House Ethics Committee that concludes the now-former Republican congressman took illegal drugs and paid women, at least one who was underage, for sex for more than three years.

The committee report cites "substantial evidence" that Gaetz committed statutory rape under Florida law by having sex with a 17-year-old girl ("Victim A" in the report) in July 2017, when he was 35. "Representative Gaetz denied the allegation but refused to testify under oath. He has publicly stated that Victim A doesn't exist,'" the report says. Still, a Florida Bar grievance committee tasked with examining Gaetz's actions apparently took a quick look and found no reason to confront the former congressman from Niceville in the Panhandle. ...
