The hacked files include an unredacted deposition of a woman who reportedly had sex with Gaetz when she was 17 years old.
An email obtained by the USA TODAY Network to attorneys in a Florida defamation lawsuit warns that unredacted files with depositions of several witness were accessed.
The attorneys are involved in a federal defamation lawsuit against former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg brought by former state lawmaker and lobbyist Chris Dorworth in 2023. The lawsuit accuses Greenberg, who is serving an 11-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, and several of Greenberg's family members of "conspiring with Joel’s sex trafficking victim, A.B., to falsely accuse Dorworth and Gaetz of sexual misconduct."
