Gaetz has always seemed weird to me. In his defense, though, a lot of 17 year old girls will say they are (and look, and act) 20-25. And some have IDs to prove it (and to allow them to buy alcohol, etc).
Now, if he was taking her to her high school prom....
Sounds like Gaetz and his buddy were making the ID’s for them though. And caught on tape and text message.
