Joel Greenberg

Joel Greenberg's arrest led to a federal investigation of his friend U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, into whether he paid a 17-year-old girl for sex.

Prosecutors say that former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg still deserves prison time to send a message that no public official is above the law.

Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg pleaded guilty last May to child sex trafficking and other crimes.

The embattled former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg issued guilty pleas to six federal charges including sex trafficking of a child.

The plea agreement doesn't mention Matt Gaetz, who has denied wrongdoing.
