You mean he got caught with somebody playing with his deflated balls?
You mean except for the fact that the trafficker would kill them, they would seek out law enforcement, right? Or kill their kids or other family members?If it were legal and anyone was doing it against their will, they could seek out law enforcement. Now that is not an option.
I’m sure they appreciated it - they got laid for a few Deutschmarks/Euros and there was no post-coital demands. Not so sure the girls are uniformly happy.I can't answer this definitively. But I think I agree with this at least on some level. Having been in the army, I know lots of people who have been in Germany. They appreciated the business aspect of it. They'd go to the place of business and get what they wanted. No issues. Always used protection. Girls needed licensed, and tested to get that license.
Kraft is allegedly not the biggest name amongst the Johns.

Don't hold your breath. This is a rumor only Adam schefter is spreading. His source is a rumor from "somebody that lives down there". Journalism is truly dead.
Maybe he'll end up being right, but he sure isn't being corroborated anywhere.
It weird. Kraft is certainly a celebrity, so he's going to go to a $59 "spa?" He's just going to drive in, get out of his Bentley, walk on in and as for the Gillett Special? Not saying its not true but stupidity on a Bezosian scale.
Wow. And they have it on video? And this is the 'tip of the iceberg'? I mean, he was dating this woman - why the hell does he need to solicit anything?
He would have been better served if he met someone that was age-appropriate.Wow. And they have it on video? And this is the 'tip of the iceberg'? I mean, he was dating this woman - why the hell does he need to solicit anything?
Krafty.He would have been better served if he met someone that was age-appropriate.
To fulfill his deepest fantasy, Mr. Kraft made her dress up like Tom Brady and call him the GOAT.
Seems kind of unlikely since we would have heard about it at the same time. Also there is literally a photographed piece of paper with the other names on it
This is getting better by the day, another billionaire and several former LEOs also involved. This should be good for laughs for days.
I don't think the high priced escort services sell underage girls- I hope these assholes get the weight of the world thrown at them.I know, right? What a bunch of losers. These guys are billionaires and can't help themselves from going to a shady massage parlor in a strip mall by an Outback steakhouse

I guess Robert the John Kraft will just hire someone to represent him.Several high rollers.....

Well their asses will become blooming onions if they end up in prison.I know, right? What a bunch of losers. These guys are billionaires and can't help themselves from going to a shady massage parlor in a strip mall by an Outback steakhouse
Foxboro culture...where rules usually don’t apply...aka the “patriot way.”77 years old. I guess if he hasn’t learned to control his urges by now, that ship has sailed.
If Tebow is on the list of johns, there is a God.

In this case we should be able to distinguish the John's and prostitutes from the humantraffickers.
Um, what? I thought the people who were running this hand job salon were CHARGED WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING?
'Zactly how does it work when human traffickers put those women in the hand job shop in the first place? Is it because you think they are there of their own free will?
Tell me, in the human trafficking cases charged here, who do you think the victims are?
Is this the quality of reasoning that makes one adopt the libertarian view?
Not sure the evidence will stand up in courtI guess Robert the John Kraft will just hire someone to represent him.
First-time offenders charged with solicitation are typically permitted to enroll in a diversion program and serve 100 hours of community service, a former prosecutor told the Associated Press.
Kraft's attorney said the DA will be short on evidence.Not sure the evidence will stand up in court
Ok, but in most HT/ prostitution cases, the women are slaves. For me, the order of culpability is Trafficker, John, sex worker.I think what he is saying is go after the human traffickers, not the people using the devices if those being trafficked (?).
I went a PD on human trafficking recently and it was fascinating. I always heard the term and just though if prostitution and the child sex trade. It’s much more widespread than that.

I've attended some lectures about it that were pretty eye opening, especially the notion that anywhere there is an interstate with big truckstops on it, there you will find HT. The FBI has an HT task force just for the I 81 corridor from Harrisburg to Winchester, Va.I was just explaining what I think the poster was saying, not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with it.
The training was really eye opening for me as far as what to look for as human trafficking outside of the sex trade. They showed us a YouTube clip of a news story in Chicago that exposed some traffickers. I’ll see if I can find it.
I'm sure this will blow over......Not sure the evidence will stand up in court
But the real issue isn't prostitution- it's trafficking. Apparently many of these women (and underage girls, if I don't miss my guess here) were held against their will. .Yep.
The idea - in our society - that a “prostitute” is a Criminal.... solely as a result of accepting/soliciting $$$ in exchange for engagement in a sexual act .... is stuffed with enough hypocrisy to choke a horse.
Absolutely not true. If it's legalized, prostitutes would have rights. They could form unions. They could call on law enforcement when they get abused by johns or beaten up by pimps.
In fact conditions for prostitutes are MUCH MUCH better in Europe because it has been legalized. And yes, a lot of the prostitutes are Eastern European because they come from impoverished villages with no other job skills, but it doesn't mean they are working as slaves. They are sex workers because they see it as their best option -- why pass judgment.
Prostitution is SO much more dangerous in the U.S. because prostitutes and johns both can't call the police if they get hurt. Keeping it illegal is what the pimps and gangs want. It means the bad guys control the entire industry.
Of course kidnapping and trafficking are a problem but legitimizing prostitution definitely helps law enforcement focus on the bad guys.
I've never needed the services of a prostitute, but I would not pass judgement against those who do, including Mr. Kraft. There are plenty of lonely people out there. There are people who are loyal to their married partners who are nevertheless not getting sex. Hiring a prostitute should be as straightforward as hiring a dental hygienist or a message therapist. It's just a service.
Arresting people for giving a handjob makes as much sense as arresting someone for smoking a joint.
This is America, supposed to be land of the free, and yet we still have all these absurd criminal laws based on Puritan or Victorian morality.

Connorpozlee wrote ".... I think what he is saying is go after the human traffickers, not the people using the services of those being trafficked ... "
This is exactly what I am saying. I used the drug analogy to illustrate that we go after the wrong people (and make their lives worse than they already are) in an effort to stop the more harmful people that are more difficult to capture.
Not all prostitutes are victims of trafficking. Whether or not they are, it is still illogical to penalize them as a group unless, as I've outlined, you want to hurt people who have been victims in life to go after perpetrators of serious harm (human traffickers). I believe there should be a way to separate these rather distinct groups of people.
Demlion, this is my take on your response: You saw "libertarian" within the first sentence and, because it is likely very different from your own politics, your interpretation was nothing close to what I actually wrote. Even though I wrote something that isn't too far from your own view, with a rather clear analogy, you interpreted it in an absolutely confounding way, and responded in a negative tone.
It is telling when one of the most educated within our society, an attorney, comes up with a response like this to the words that were actually written. It is no wonder that our political discourse is beyond hope. In arguments we tend to talk (or write) right past each other.
I don't think the problem is about an inability to speak or write clearly. It has become about dark filters that make us see only what we want to see -- the result of becoming polarized through continued and deep immersion within the view that gives us most comfort. This happens because we are indeed "free" in the base case to choose the groups within which we align, but in the end it produces an overwhelming current against freedom itself. We seem to be unable to express without someone taking offense. The result is oppression of expression, censorship, and so on.
