Matt Gaetz Associate Pleads Guilty in Case Tied to Probe of Matt Gaetz

Joel Greenberg pleads guilty to sex trafficking of a minor

Greenberg was sentenced to 11 years in prison

Joel Greenberg was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to sex trafficking of a minor and other charges.

The charges stem from a probe involving Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who is being investigated for sex trafficking allegations.

Greenberg was a close associate of Gaetz and has been cooperating with investigators.

Greenberg's guilty plea and sentencing is a significant development in the probe involving Gaetz.

It is unclear what impact Greenberg's guilty plea will have on Gaetz's case.

Gaetz has denied the allegations against him and has not been charged with any crimes.
