Judge grants Joel Greenberg's request to delay sentencing on sex trafficking conviction
Source: WKMG Orlando
A federal judge granted Joel Greenberg's request to delay his sentencing on federal charges by 90 days, according to court documents.
In June, a judge set the ex-Seminole County Tax Collector's sentencing date for Aug. 19 at 9:30 a.m. at the U.S. Courthouse in Orlando. This came after Greenberg entered a guilty plea to six criminal charges, including child sex trafficking, on May 17 as part of a plea agreement. In exchange for his cooperation and guilty pleas, prosecutors agreed to drop 27 additional charges involving crimes that allegedly occurred in Greenberg's personal life and while he was working as an elected official.
New court paperwork shows Greenberg's lawyer wants to delay that sentencing, citing an inability for his client to meet the terms of his plea agreement in time for the sentencing to take place.
The motion specifically looks at three issues in its bid to delay sentencing by 90 days.
