Yes.
And the Kraft story is the good news/bad news sideshow.
Good news because the trafficking deserves the spotlight that Kraft's involvement brings.
Bad news because Kraft's story almost overwhelms the women's plight.

These are not high end call girls making personal choices that can walk away at any time.
These women were brought here under false pretenses, FORCED into sex work, families threatened, passports taken, underpaid, living in the massage rooms. The only reason Kraft got busted is because local law enforcement was doing large scale work to bust up the human trafficking....not with end goal to fine and embarrass some johns....but to protect truly vulnerable women.

So when I say that he should be charged for the crime of doing something illegal, you don't understand the words WHY?

I never knew that those Asian massage parlors were actually human traffickers... but I've never been to one either.

I hope that you’re right Frank and that truly is the biggest crime here.

Although the fight to keep the video from JPPD camera # 2 from going public is entertaining as a non Cheatriot fan.

But you must have known.
Apparently everyone knows.
It's just that the cops never bothered to actually do anything.

But there have always been a lot of ethical questions around the staffing of hand job houses.

It was a news story before someone famous got a handy from a possible sex slave.

Sure... "Everyone" may be an inaccurate statement. Some people may say "everyone knows who won the Oscars" but I don't. But it's pretty common knowledge. Is it possible he didn't know? Sure. But there have always been a lot of ethical questions around the staffing of hand job houses. This isn't the first time it's been in the news.

Hell,there was a story a couple years ago about the human trafficking rings around maid service if I remember correctly.

They should probably check on those nail salons too. Every once in a while I see an Asian guy walk in one... never thought they were actually the pimps... or maybe that's where the workers get moved to after they get fat, old and ugly.

Out here, Russians with coke nails have a lock on the barber shops, they should probably check on those guys while they're at it... probably actually slaves that work for blow.

Seriously, I'm not sure how the average citizen should "know" that Asian massage parlors have slave laborers. Is it all parlors, or just this one? Those things are seriously everywhere, I wouldn't think there's that much slave labor to go around.

It was a police sting, I’m sure the DA wanted to make sure that it was as easy to prosecute as possible.

So Kraft went there twice, the first time was the day before the AFC championship game. The police pulled him over after he left the first time as a means to ID the Johns after they left. He went back AGAIN the day of the game

any other high profile rich old man or POTUS and he'd be singing a different tune...

You might not have a great understanding of how cases are built against people suspected in human trafficking.... You think they just kick the doors down and start making accusations in hopes of confessions?
