..."In January 2020, state Rep. Chris Latvala accused Gaetz of having created a “game” during his time in Tallahassee that gave out points for “sleeping with aides, interns, lobbyists, and married legislators.” The allegation echoed a Miami Herald story in 2015 that reported that such a game was played by younger state representatives. Gaetz denied involvement in any such game."
