ORLANDO, Fla. — Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence Joel Greenberg to less than the mandatory 12-year prison sentence he faces for sex trafficking and other charges, citing the former Seminole County tax collector’s help in building cases against some of his former associates.
Greenberg has “provided truthful and timely information to the United States which, in part, resulted in the charging of others and that has substantially assisted in the investigation and prosecution of other persons,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Daniels wrote in a motion filed Thursday.
The filing comes as Greenberg is scheduled for sentencing Dec. 1. Daniels’ motion doesn’t specify what sentence the government is seeking, but asks for Greenberg to face a lesser punishment for the crime of sex trafficking of a child, which typically carries a 10-year mandatory sentence.
