Read<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\u201cThe victim of Count Four is a teacher at a school located in the Middle District of Florida (referred to herein as the \u201cTeacher\u201d). On or about October 4, 2019, the Teacher filed with the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections to run for the elected office of Seminole County Tax Collector in the 2020 election. Because the Teacher had filed to run in opposition to him, Greenberg used the mail, an interactive computer service, an electronic communication service, an electronic communication system of interstate commerce, and a facility of interstate commerce to engage in a course of conduct that caused, attempted to cause, and would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to the Teacher.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreenberg started by mailing letters. On or about October 10, 2019, Greenberg used the United States Mail to send an anonymous letter that purported to be from a \u201cconcerned student.\u201d The letter was mailed from the Middle District of Florida and was addressed to the head of the school where the Teacher worked. The envelope contained an anonymous typed letter addressed to the head of the school that contained information, alleging an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher. In that letter, Greenberg, posing as a student at the school, falsely represented that he had first-hand knowledge of a sexual relationship between another fictitious student identified as \u201cR[]\u201d and the Teacher. Greenberg, posing as a student at the school, falsely represented that \u201cR[]\u201d admitted to engaging in oral and anal sex with the Teacher and that the incidents took place at the school. Greenberg, posing as a student at the school, signed the-letter \u201ca very concerned student\u201d at the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreenberg\u2019s false accusations resulted in local law enforcement conducting a criminal investigation of the Teacher. Florida Statute \u00a7 800.101 criminalizes any \u201cauthority figure,\u201d such a teacher at school, from soliciting or engaging in sexual conduct, a relationship of a romantic nature, or lewd conduct with a student enrolled at a school. Violations of the statute are second degree felonies.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreenberg\u2019s false allegations about the Teacher involved false claims that the Teacher had committed felony criminal offenses. As Greenberg knew when he made those allegations in the letters and in the online posts, those allegations were false. Greenberg made those false allegations to cause substantial emotional distress to the Teacher. After investigating the Teacher, local law enforcement found no support whatsoever for the false allegations that Greenberg had made.\u201d<\/p>\n
In brief, Greenberg has pleaded guilty to falsely accusing an innocent man of having sex with a minor. Now, he\u2019s doing the same to Rep. Gaetz.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the most concerning parts of Greenberg\u2019s plea deal is that it promises him leniency if he provides information that leads to the arrest of another individual, which Biden Department of Justice prosecutors are desperate to make Rep. Gaetz.<\/p>\n
But their whole case will rely on the stories of a man who has already pleaded guilty to making almost the exact same false allegations about others. And Mr. Greenberg and the team around him are chief Daily Beast sources on this story: potentially exposing them when the dust of all this settles.<\/p>\n
