What this shows people is that once again, there is one set of laws for the people with money and another set of laws for everyone else. The other thing it shows is the victims are disposable. One of the reasons they struggled with bringing charges is that the witnesses's against Gaetz were either co-conspiritors or victims, and the victim, a young girl who had been taught by people in power that her only value lay in her body, believed them and made a career out of it. That is their sin, not hers. Statute of limitations for rape should be abolished, have to wonder why law makers protect it.
