Joel Greenberg, a former Florida county tax collector and associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz
Greenberg, who is at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation into Gaetz, pleaded guilty in May to six federal crimes including trafficking a minor and is facing at least 12 years in prison.
He was originally scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 19. But in court filings on Tuesday, Greenberg’s attorneys are seeking a 90-day delay for the hearing, saying because he can’t finish his cooperation before his sentencing.

According to the documents, the government is not opposed to the delay.
“Pursuant to his plea agreement with the Government, Mr. Greenberg has been cooperating with the Government and has participated in a series of proffers,” wrote Fritz Scheller, who is representing Greenberg.

A lawyer for Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector and associate of Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, asked a federal judge on Tuesday to delay his client s sentencing date by 90 days.
Greenberg s cooperation with prosecutors in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation, which could knock time off the 12-year sentence he faces, will not be fully resolved by the time of his sentencing date of Aug. 19, his lawyer Fritz Scheller said in court filings.
“Pursuant to his plea agreement with the Government, Mr. Greenberg has been cooperating with the Government and has participated in a series of proffers, Scheller wrote. Said cooperation, which could impact his ultimate sentence, cannot be completed prior to the time of his sentencing. The parties expect that Mr. Greenberg will participate in additional proffers, and a continuance would provide Mr. Greenberg with additional time to do so prior to his sentencing.
