#1  Not sure why this Argentine court would claim jurisdiction over another country. Maybe the judge studied at a US university.

Sugar dating website at center of Gaetz scandal rife with sex trafficking and fraudsters, ex-PR rep alleges
[NYPOST] The so-called “sugar dating” website at the heart of the sex scandal that has engulfed former Rep. Matt Gaetz was a hotbed of trafficking, fraud and other malfeasance, a former public relations rep for the company has alleged.

SeekingArrangement.com, as it was known at the time, was used by Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) pal Joel Greenberg, who is serving out an 11-year prison sentence on charges related to sex trafficking, to introduce the Sunshine State pol to various women, per a House Committee on Ethics draft report released this week.

“The girls come to it with the assumption that they are going to find a man who is just going to simply give them money for existing,” she explained. “And then, lo and behold, it comes to fruition, but it’s a scammer.”

The House Committee on Ethics explained in its bombshell report that “platforms such as SeekingArrangement.com are known to ‘mak[e] it easier for traffickers to exploit victims and connect with buyers.'”

Since Gaetz’s admitted partying and womanizing days, SeekingArrangement has rebranded into Seeking.com and at least outwardly appeared to tone down some of its past excesses, Urick surmised. Still, she speculates that some of the toxic culture has continued.

#1  Not to be confused with social and media websites soliciting underage girls and boys.

#2  Sugar Dating is a not-so-subtle acronym for transactional relationships offered for high-end male earners. Kind of like a very expensive virtual hotel bar in Dubai or Monaco, only without the clumsy opening!

#3  Based on what Cawthorn spilled, this sounds kind of conventional.
