Prosecutor calls for lesser sentence for ally of Gaetz

-

A former Florida tax collector whose arrest on sex traffickin­g and identity theft charges led to a probe of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz should get his sentence reduced for cooperatin­g with authoritie­s, but he still deserves prison time to send a message that no public official is above the law, federal prosecutor­s said in court papers.

Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg is facing a 12-year prison sentence when he is sentenced in federal court in Orlando, Florida, in two weeks. But he has been cooperatin­g with federal agents and has provided assistance in several probes, leading prosecutor­s to ask for a reduced sentence.
