I posted this subject this morning and the thread went unnecessarily political. At that point Para locked it. I asked if it could be restarted, and was given the okay. But if goes out of control, it'll get locked again. So that said...

An article to start this. Since it's later, there's more info now. It's going to be intensely interesting to see how the NFL responds to this. I sense a #metoo feeding frenzy

Patriots owner Robert Kraft busted for soliciting prostitution
By Bruce Golding February 22, 2019 | 11:55am | Updated


The billionaire owner of the New England Patriots faces charges of paying for sex at a massage parlor in South Florida, cops said Friday.

Robert Kraft — whose team scored its sixth Super Bowl victory earlier this month — was allegedly caught on camera during “two different visits” to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter.

Kraft is among 25 suspected johns whose names were released Friday.

“He is being charged with the same offenses as the others, and that is soliciting another to commit prostitution,” Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr told reporters at a news conference.
Kraft faces two counts of the misdemeanor offense, Kerr said.

Kraft was allegedly driven to and from the massage parlor by a chauffeur who will not be charged, Kerr said.

Kraft owns a condo in the luxury Breakers development in nearby Palm Beach, WPTV reported.

A spokesperson for Kraft said, “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”

The charges stem from a six-month probe of human trafficking and other crimes tied to a string of massage parlors in Florida’s Indian River County.

Kraft, 77, built a $6.6 billion from a paper-manufacturing conglomerate, according to Forbes, which ranks him the 79th wealthiest person in the world.

He bought the Patriots for $172 million in 1994 and steered the team to unrivaled dominance over the NFL.

His late wife, Myra, died of cancer in 2011.

Last year, Page Six exclusively reported that Kraft denied fathering a child born to his much-younger girlfriend, model and actress Ricki Noel Lander, in the fall of 2017.

Dude, take your private jet to Nevada.

The Google reviews on the Asia Orchid are entertaining to read.

I don't care much what consenting adults do; but in bold is the real crime. Horrific, and anyone who engages in this with a human-trafficked person deserves whatever they get (and likely lots more).

Have you seen their pictures?
Look like VietCong brides.
He's more than a little warped to want help from them.
Much much easier to just squeeze the squid.

^^^ Yeah, I was with the grown ass adults can do whatever they want behind closed doors crowd until I saw that.
Beat him with a bag of door knobs...repeatedly.

They asked him what kind of massage he wanted, and he innocently said asian...

It sounds like the massage parlors were doing the human trafficking, not the Patriots owner.

That being said, if prostitution were legal, there wouldn't hardly be any human trafficking in the U.S.. And, quite frankly who cares what goes on with 2 consenting adults. Prostitution also keeps normal woman in line, because they're not hanging sex over guys heads as a tool.

You have literal BILLIONS of dollars. I can appreciate he wants to 'get some', but where are 'his people'?

I'm standing on the 'learn from Smollett' tactic and waiting for more facts before I buy this. I just don't get how he could end up in a place like this.

Of course, and he was paying for sex with women (girls) who were sold into sex slavery.

Hooking up with "Tiffany" who had a rough childhood, but chose to become a prostitute is just sad.

Hooking up with girls who are likely trafficked is horrible and the Johns are almost as much to blame as the traffickers, like knowingly buying stolen property and/or just not caring...only much worse, 'cause...they're humans.

How you gonna spin this one Goodell?

If you weren't wearing a wife beater and sipping Old Crow when you posted this, I'm going to be disappointed.

Spin? You kidding? There is no love lost between Goodell and Kraft since 'deflategate'. In my cartoon bubble I only see Goodell spending most of the afternoon giggling uncontrollably with his other billionaire buddies.

Nobody is accusing Kraft of human trafficking or the other 24 johns which at this point all he is accused of and charged with is soliciting prostitution. I mean you guys do realize this takes place oh maybe a million times a day if not more by people who's name is not Robert Kraft? Complete non story.

I will never be ceased to be amazed at the power sex weilds in this country.

Well yeah, that's kind of the point. Robert Kraft, an NFL owner and billionaire multiple times over, gets pinched at a strip mall massage parlor.

Hence the fact that it's a story.

No kidding, nobody said he was human trafficking, just paying to have sex with girls who likely were. You ok with that? If it happens a million times per day then we need way more arrests.

Again, I don’t care what two consenting (neither of whom are slaves) adults do.
