35. Sex trafficking of a minor IS a [Federal] felony case.

Yes it is.

But to establish it you need the testimony of Joel Greenberg, a not so reliable witness.

Joel Greenberg, former tax collector for Seminole County, was accused of stalking a political opponent, public corruption, making fake licenses and scheming to submit false claims for a federal loan.

He pleaded guilty to six federal crimes, including identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official. Prosecutors said he paid at least one girl to have sex with him and other men.
