Robert Kraft charged
quote:
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection with a Florida spa tied to an international human trafficking ring, police said Friday.

The NFL owner was charged with paying for sexual services at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter.

The spa was among 10 shut down in the Orlando area, Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast after a several-month investigation revealed women there were in "sexual servitude," according to arrest records.

Just an idle question ... was he arrested, or just charged?

One story I read suggested that he was just visiting, and therefore I wonder whether he was in the jurisdiction for purposes of being arrested.

Which, of course, has exactly nothing to do with the underlying crime, I'm just curious, because of the title of the thread.

From a Bloomberg article:

quote:
Suspects who are Palm Beach County residents will receive a summons in the mail to appear in court, Sharp said, while those residing outside the county will have an arrest warrant issued.

Meh, whoever he is.

What’s important here? Human trafficking. Actual human trafficking for sexual servitude. Actually happening, right there. Ugh.

Indeed. I hope the traffickers and slave keepers all get severe jail times. That said, this story may not get the attention it gets now if it weren't for high-profile johns like Robert Kraft getting caught in the investigation.
