The statement also includes descriptions of illicit drugs that were at the party, including cocaine and ecstasy, as well as a passage indicating that the party was also attended by a then-17-year-old woman who was previously the focus of a years-long Department of Justice probe which focused on whether Mr Gaetz had sexual contact with her when she was below the legal age of consent.
A 17 year old minor girl attended the party, a minor who was the subject of a sexual interference investigation. Referring to her current status of womanhood only serves to age her up in the mind of readers, lessening the subjective severity of the crimes.
We should start a push to publicly shame every single “journalist” that cheapens the truth like this. Even outside of sex crimes. This shit has to stop.
Edit: if we do it enough, by name, they will start to edit these articles.
In the context of sex crimes, sexual interference, and similar, journalists and others for that matter should avoid using language that “ages up” victims.

How condescending. I assume you think a 17 year old is a child? And then the second they turn 18 they’re not?
You can be against gaetz being creep and a groomer without thinking that 17 year olds shouldn’t be called women

How many of us would be in jail right now having been caught in this exact situation?
