Apparently he hasn't been able to produce any dirt in the past six months. Why not give him six more months to come up with something?
ORLANDO — Joel Greenberg, the friend of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz who pleaded guilty earlier this year to sex trafficking, asked a judge on Tuesday to postpone his sentencing until next year so he can continue cooperating with federal authorities.
Greenberg asked the federal judge in a court filing to move his sentencing date from mid-November to next March.
The extra time will give the former local tax collector from an Orlando suburb more time to sit for interviews with federal investigators, the filing said.
“Indeed, Mr. Greenberg’s ongoing cooperation, which will not be completed prior to his current sentencing date, could have an impact on his final sentence,” according to the court filing, which said the extension was unopposed by federal prosecutors.
Greenberg is facing up to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty last May to six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of a child, identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official.
Greenberg’s plea agreement with prosecutors requires continued cooperation with an ongoing probe into sex trafficking.
