Would not extortion call the the other stuff into question?
When did Alford and Kent learn Gaetz was under investigation and who told them?
It seems a big leap for me to believe Kent came up with this idea to ask Gaetz' father for money in exchange for giving his son Matt the glory.
Who came up with this plan? How was it conceived?
Stephen Alford needs to come forward and explain what he knew and when he knew it and how he or the two of them came up with this plan.
