Christopher Dorworth

Christopher Dorworth is a GOP lobbyist. He was a state legislature in Florida until he lost in 2012. He rose quickly before his loss. He was embroiled in the Joel Greenburg/Matt Gaetz sex trafficking of underage girls investigation. But nobody noticed, they focused on allegations he ran ghost candidates.

So he decided to sue Greenburg and the young woman at the center of the story claiming that when they talked about him with federal investigators, he was defamed. The woman told the investigators he had sex with her while she was underage, so he sued her. In her motion to dismiss it is explicitly stated that he raped and trafficked her, bringing more attention to his actions. She said she was telling the truth and thanks to his suit, his name is now associated with Greenburg and trafficking. The information was always there, but people were focused on the allegation that he ran ghost candidates. You can follow the case here.

_________________________________________________________________ DEFENDANT A.B.’S MOTION TO DISMISS __________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Defendant A.B. is a victim of child sex trafficking. As set forth in detail in Joel Greenberg’s guilty plea, A.B. was still a minor when Mr. Greenberg trafficked her for commercial sex acts for himself and his friends. See Plea Agreement at 28-32, United States v. Greenberg, No. 6:20-cr-0009 (M.D. Fla. May 14, 2021), ECF No. 105. 1 During the course of Mr. Greenberg’s criminal prosecution, A.B. cooperated with
authorities by detailing the abuse she suffered and Mr. Greenberg’s attempts to obfuscate his conduct. In the present Complaint, Mr. Dorworth seeks to recast A.B. as Mr. Greenberg’s partner in crime and a participant in a conspiracy to destroy Mr. Dorworth’s reputation as revenge for Mr. Dorworth’s refusal to assist with Mr. Greenberg’s legal defense. The vast majority of the Complaint concerns complicated plots bearing no relation to A.B., including financial schemes and political machinations to install Mr. Greenberg as the Seminole County tax collector. To the extent that A.B. was allegedly involved, it was only through her statements to law enforcement implicating Mr. Dorworth in Mr. Greenberg’s crimes against her. But the 115-page Complaint does not even bother to detail these supposed statements and does not allege a single instance when A.B. made a statement to any third party. Nor does the Complaint allege that A.B. agreed to assist Mr. Greenberg’s
conspiracy to minimize his criminal culpability. Even if it had, such allegations would not be facially plausible in light of A.B.’s role in supporting charges against Mr. Greenberg. Additionally, the Complaint improperly seeks to preempt any claims A.B. may have against Mr. Dorworth for raping and trafficking her by making a threadbare request for expansive declaratory judgment. This claim bears no relation to the rest of the disputes set forth in the Complaint and is both procedurally and prudentially inapt for resolution through the present action
A. B.’s motion to dismiss.
