Roxanne Luckey is an American woman, best known for her denunciation of her sister, Ginger's, fiance, Matt Gaetz.[1][2][3]
Gaetz found his reputation challenged when a friend of his, who was accused of supplying a string of escorts to politicians, entered into a plea deal to supply evidence against Gaetz.[1][2] Gaetz's friend claimed the escorts he provided were particularly young, and that in 2016 he and Gaetz both engaged in sexual relations with an escort, known by the screen-name "Vintage99", who was only 17-years-old.
In late 2020, after being tipped off he was under investigation, Gaetz proposed to girlfriend Ginger Luckey, a Washington DC lobbyist.[1][2]
According to Roxanne, when she was working as a White House intern, in the summer of 2020, a friend of Gaetz, a divorced man who was approximately Gaetz age, made a series of sexual overtures to her.[1][2][4] She asserted Gaetz friend repeatedly assured her that Gaetz had encouraged him. She described Gaetz as "creepy" and "a literal pedophile".
She described confronting Gaetz about his friend's claim, at a family event, during Thanksgiving.[2] She said rather than denying encouraging his friend, or apologizing for encouraging his friend, Gaetz, "went full lawyer" against her.
After posting her assertions to social media Roxanne's sister posted a counter-response, where she defended Gaetz.[5] She said she and Roxanne were "estranged", and implied Roxanne was mentally ill.
Roxanne and Ginger have an older brother, Palmer Luckey, who was the founder of Oculus Rift.[2][6] Her older brother's sale of his virtual reality pioneering company made him extremely wealthy.
Roxanne expects to graduate from Pepperdine University in 2022.[3][4]
