Just a note:
This doesn't mean they don't believe the victims or witnesses. It simply means the Prosecutors don't believe they could win the case, which would mean he couldn't be tried again if new evidence came to light.
This is likely a way for them to leave charges on the table in the hopes that more people come forward.

I'll admit I don't know the full details of the case, just what's in the article.
I just didn't want to jump to the conclusion that the prosecutors weren't trying.
Just a bit optimistic there maybe.

According to the article, Greenberg is the biggest problem of them all for the prosecution:
Greenberg was first charged in 2020 with fabricating allegations and evidence to smear a political opponent, but prosecutors continued to investigate and added additional charges to his case. He ultimately agreed to plead guilty to six criminal charges, including sex trafficking of a child, aggravated identity theft and wire fraud.

Greenbergs credibility would be a significant challenge for any prosecution of Gaetz, in part because one of the crimes Greenberg admitted to was fabricating allegations against a schoolteacher who was running against him to be a tax collector. Greenberg had sent letters to the school falsely claiming the teacher had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student a similar allegation to the Gaetz case.

David Bear, a lawyer for the schoolteacher Greenberg falsely accused, said last year that nobodys going to believe anything that Joel Greenberg says by itself.

Among other things, one of the main arguments is that the other guy who was charged with Gaetz, Joel Greenberg, who is very obviously more guilty and if Gaetz decides to throw his friend under the bus, there's very little evidence to suggest say, Greenberg was the one trafficking and Gaetz simply indulged him - which is a much less serious crime.

Also Greenberg has no legitimacy as a witness, as he has a history of making serious **** up about people he doesn't like, meaning he's nothing except a benefit to Gaetz.

Sounds like its akin to the Russia-gate stuff, where it very obviously happened, but because they can't perfectly link Gaetz to all the stuff, he's going to walk free.
