That's one move I'd expect to try to make this go away. The female on the receiving end of Gaetz's attention was reportedly 17 at the time. It's currently 18 there, but it's 16 in much of the country, including in the states that share borders with Florida. It wouldn't make the drug issues go away, but puritanical America (as evidenced by reporting so far) seems much more outraged about the sex than about the drugs.
