Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg will face sentencing in August. 

Greenberg’s sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 19 at 9:30 a.m. He is required to attend. 

He pleaded guilty in May to six federal charges, including six trafficking of a child.

Greenberg is an associate of the embattled Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.

Greenberg could face a lighter sentence, as his plea agreement implies he will serve as a witness in a federal investigation of Gaetz, a close Trump ally. 

Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.

Greenberg also pleaded guilty to production of a false identification document, aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, stalking and conspiracy to commit an offense against the U.S.
