, former tax collector for Seminole County, was accused of stalking a political opponent, public corruption, making fake licenses and scheming to submit false claims for a federal loan.
Greenberg also directly apologized to the residents of Seminole County, his family and a schoolteacher he smeared when the educator decided to run against him. Greenberg's cooperation could play a role in an investigation into his friend Gaetz over whether he paid a 17-year-old girl for sex. Gaetz has denied the allegations and previously said they were part of an extortion plot. No charges have been brought against the Republican congressman, who represents a large part of the Florida Panhandle.
Federal prosecutors had asked for a significant reduction in Greenberg's prison sentence, agreeing during a court hearing Wednesday to a reduced range of nine years and three months to 11 years. "Mr. Greenberg was using money and sex to get access to political circles," Scheller said."He came from a dark place, a lack of self-worth, and tried to ingratiate himself with a collection of people."
