The inquiry is said to be part of a wider probe into Florida official Joel Greenberg, who was slapped with a string of charges last year including sex trafficking a minor between the age of 14 and 17. It's a blatant attempt to distract from the fact that he's under investigation for sex trafficking of minors,' McGee said. No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targets of the ongoing extortion investigation.' Greenberg was indicted last summer on 14 felony charges including child sex trafficking, fraud, identity theft and stalking a former political rival. The sex trafficking charge involves alleged encounters with a girl aged between 14 and 17 across a six-month period in 2017.
