ORLANDO, Fla. — Jason Pirozzolo, a politically-connected Orlando hand surgeon who used to serve on the board of the agency that oversees Orlando International Airport, was named in a Wednesday night report by CBS News as a figure in the sex trafficking investigation targeting U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz and former Seminole tax collector Joel Greenberg. mCiting unnamed sources, CBS News reported that Pirozzolo paid for travel, accommodations and female escorts on a trip to the Bahamas with Gaetz in late 2018 or early 2019.
“Investigators are trying to determine if the escorts were illegally trafficked across state or international lines for the purpose of sex with the congressman,” CBS News reported.
The probe reportedly arose from an investigation into Greenberg, who is facing a slew of federal charges, including sex trafficking of a child, wire fraud, stalking and bribery of a public official.
A longtime fundraiser for Republicans who lives in Winter Garden and invests in medical marijuana companies, Pirozzolo rose to political prominence in Central Florida in 2019 when Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed him to Greater Orlando Airport Authority. Who recommended Pirozzolo? Gaetz.
