NEW: Matt Gaetz was one of only two "no" votes in the FL House on a 2015 "revenge porn" law. But his opposition went beyond that, according to the bill's Republican sponsor: "He thought that any picture was his to use as he wanted to."

Former state Rep. Tom Goodson spent three years trying to pass a bill. He says Gaetz was his chief opponent, and argued that the recipient of an intimate photo could do with it as they pleased. "Matt was absolutely against it."

While serving in the Florida Legislature, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz opposed a bill meant to stop people from sharing sexually explicit images of their ex-lovers because Gaetz believed that recipients of those images had a right to share them, according to the sponsor of the legislation.

Former state Rep. Tom Goodson, a Republican from Brevard County, spent three years sponsoring legislation to outlaw nonconsensual pornography — sometimes called “revenge porn.”

And Goodson said Monday that Gaetz was the chief opponent to that legislation. Goodson said he remembered a meeting in which Gaetz said that if someone sends an intimate image to their romantic partner, then that image becomes the partner’s property to use however they want.

“Matt was absolutely against it. He thought the picture was his to do with what he wanted,” Goodson said. “He thought that any picture was his to use as he wanted to, as an expression of his rights.”

Neither Gaetz nor his office responded to requests for comment Monday. The Panhandle Republican is reportedly under federal investigation over allegations that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and that he and former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg recruited other women online and paid them for sex.

4. Who was the other one DeSantis?

I don't even know if he was in the legislature but I did hear that Gaetz and his indicted friend were part of a trio with DeSantis and so sounds about right.
