Vintage99
From WikiAlpha
Vintage99 was the screen-name of a "sugar baby" in Florida.[1]
The "99" in her screen-name refers to the year she was born, that Florida politicians who paid her for sexual activity in 2016 did so before she was legally old enough to give consent.[1][2][3]
Several Florida politians, including Matt Gaetz, Joel Greenberg, and Chris Dorworth, faced allegations they paid her to engage in sexual activity with her in 2016.[2]
Investigators found tweets that showed Gaetz's friend, and "wingman", Joel Greenberg, paid vintage99's legal fees, when Federal investigators wanted to question her about her sexual activity when she was 17.[3]
