Representative Matt Gaetz and his fellow Florida lawmakers played a frightening and competitive game of “sexual challenge” while working in parliament for ten years – in which participants earned varying points depending on who they slept with, according to a new report.
Contestants can earn extra points for sleeping with a married lawmaker or spending the night at a university fellowship, a Republican Party source told Business Insider in the report published on Friday.
And anyone who slept with a particular conservative policy “won the entire game regardless of the points,” said the source, who spoke to Business Insider on condition of anonymity.
This woman was known as the game’s “whistleblower” after the coveted flying gold ball at Quidditch, a magical sport practiced by young wizards in the Harry Potter book series, the source said.
The source declined to name the “informant” to protect his privacy and told Business Insider that he “heard specific references from Gaetz getting involved and scoring points” when he served on the state House of Representatives.
The last sordid revelation came just when it seemed that the charges could not be more obscene against Gaetz, who is already mired in a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The sex game was mentioned in less detail in previous stories, Business Insider noted.
In January, the Tampa Bay Times reported that Florida State Representative Chris Latvala accused Gaetz in a 2020 tweet of having “created a game in which FL House members earned“ points ”for sleeping with married advisers, interns, lobbyists and lawmakers. . “
Lawmakers earned one point for sleeping with a lobbyist, two for sleeping with legislative officials, three for another legislator and six for a married legislator, the Tampa Bay Times claimed.
Sleeping with “virgins” was another way to earn points, ABC News claimed this week, citing a source.
The “game” of male lawmakers was the “worst kept secret in Tallahassee,” the Republican Party insider told Business Insider.
