New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged in prostitution ring: report

[dfwgator]

His gal pal isn't going to be too happy about this.

Is that the one he did that audition tape with?

You know there's only one reason they are going after Kraft........his friendship with Trump.

Supposedly, there are a lot more than the 25 we know about and some other names that are recognizable, aside from Kraft. Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, they are going after Kraft for his association with Trump. Bob Kraft, Roy Cohn, Jeffrey Epstein, Roger Stone, and Bill Clinton. These are all Trump associates, who have weird sexual proclivities. Imagine his dumb luck to have had all these pervs in his orbit.

His wife died, he's 77 years-old and widowed, what's the big frickin' deal?

So now being caught with a Prostitute is "being involved with a prostitution ring"?

No victim, no crime. If it is a personal arrangement with two people and sex trafficking isn't involved, then it shouldn't be a crime.

It is funny how, if he just picked up a young woman for a date, wined and dined her, maybe bought her a $2000 purse that she could flip the next day at a pawn shop, and happened to get some action, it would just be a 'date'.

Maybe they need to do like the Pachinko machines in Tokyo and not actually exchange money but tokens that you can take down the street and 'sell back'.

@LadyLiberty

For all we know she might be grateful for someone else taking a load off of her.

I know someone that has a massage business. Let's just say that asking for a happy ending is very common....almost expected.
I'm not sure that some "legit" massage places even offer it to loyal customers who are big tippers.

I don't know about the others,but the left is NOT going to go after Ray Chhn. He's a homo. They are not going after Bubba,either.

He's dead, too.

[sneakypete]

She must not have been rocking his world.

@The Ghost

BTW,if that is his girlfriend,she was reported to be 39 years old in another story. He is 77,so that ain't a love match,anyway.

As gator pointed out Cohn is dead - unsurprisingly - from AIDS. However, according to Roger Stone, he was not gay.

"Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men.”

That is it, shall we say, in a nut shell.

This is what happens when you get your hookers at a strip mall.

He went to Jupiter, Florida, to a sketchy Chinese massage parlor, when he had no business-related reason to be in Florida at the time. (The Patriots' last game against a Florida opponent was December 9, 2018, a month before this incident happened.) Meaning he most likely personally went out of his way to solicit from this particular parlor.

So if this was a sex slavery ring, and he went through that much trouble to solicit from this particular parlor way out of his normal path...

...yeah, this guy is in deep doodoo.

That's the thing, though. It looks like sex trafficking was involved. That's what makes this so serious.

[edpc]

Of course, they simply could have closed down the place and arrested the owners months ago....but NOOOOOOOOOO!

Generally, when they have a sting on this type of place, there’s much more than just prostitution going on. Typically, they also have narcotics and money laundering activities. Most likely, they watched the place to expand the net of potential charges and get a sense of the personnel hierarchy.

Looks like it was a sex trafficking ring.

Martin County Sheriff says the women involved in human trafficking ring were given no days off. They averaged about 1,500 men a year. He says their hygiene was “minimal” at best @NBC10Boston

This guy is worth six billion and he couldn’t find a high-class “escort?”

There's the salient question, isn't it?

Why would a guy worth millions consort with trafficked girls and risk his own life and promote the sex trade?

Incredibly reckless and stupid.

As well as promoting one of the worst crimes in the country.

I'm sure there are plenty of gold diggers who would be happy to service him, just because he's rich and famous.

Stupid.  Irresponsible.

So how exactly do you know if these "professional sex workers" were or were not trafficked as children or teenagers.

Many pros were, you know.

This is not a "victimless" crime.

Hope this story has a happy ending.

This story calls for Chris Hanson.

Exactly. Guys like this don't hire 'prostitutes' in the usual sense of the word. They hire maids, nurses, personal assistants, personal secretary, therapists, or any number of other 'cover jobs' for whatever services they provide. I have never known a millionaire who did not have a few beautiful 20 year olds working for him, all with various titles and dubious qualifications. That is simply the accepted culture on that stratum of society. He had no need to pick up skanks off of some street corner.

Also, he could easily go to Belize or any number of other countries and hire dozens of house servents to do whatever he wants. The whole story really makes no sense at all.

I cannot understand this. It makes no sense. He is supposed to have people working for him to protect him from nonsense like this.

Sometimes, people think they can do whatever they want, whether it’s due to wealth or power. Look at guys like Clinton and Spitzer.

Add algore to that list, whose "adult entertainment" code word was Mr. Stone.

I figured it would be "Mr. Wood".

LOL! Good one!

I must admit I was rather deflated when I first heard the news.

He's having his own legal problems.

Second Boston billionaire linked to Florida prostitution ring
By Amanda Woods
February 23, 2019 | 12:09pm


The billionaire founder of a Boston-based equity firm joins Patriots owner Robert Kraft as one of the ultra-rich caught up in the months-long police probe of Florida massage parlors, authorities said.

John Childs, 77 — of J.W. Childs Associates — is wanted on a solicitation of prostitution charge, according to a warrant for his arrest obtained by TCPalm.com. He has not been arrested.

Childs firmly denied any involvement in the ring.  ...

Childs, who lives seasonally in Indian River Shores and lives part-time in Boston, has donated to several Republican politicians and groups  — including former US House Speaker Paul Ryan, 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Club for Growth, TCPalm.com reported.

He’s contributed about $4.3 million to Republican candidates — as well as political action committees — last cycle, campaign finance records obtained by the outlet show. ...
