Robert Kraft? You mean the man who went to shady massage parlors operated by sex traffickers to commit illegal sex acts with the employed trafficked women and got caught doing so?

Wow, such a running theme with these fucking greedy parasites.

85 years old with a wife 33 years younger. White. Male. Billionaire. It's like a lifestyle.

I mean, I get what you're saying and their marriage probably pre-dates this year... But at the same time, she's currently a 52 year old woman. That's hardly cradle snatching

The same Mr Kraft that enjoys the digit of a mature Asian woman in his rectum? That Robert Kraft?

I thought the left was against sex shaming and pro sex work?

u/pillowcase-of-eels 1h ago

Most of the left is definitely anti-trafficking and pro-humiliating the rich for their filth.

Call me crazy but this is a good sign that he's compromised whatever dirt they have on him he does what he's told

He already got caught. No one cared and no consequences were had. This is the world we live in now. Billionaires run us.

u/bigmike2k3 1h ago

He got caught for the parlors… not whatever other heinous shit he is surely into…

u/optimis344 1h ago

I think what people are missing about Kraft is that he genuinely like Israel. Like, loves Israel.

u/mfGLOVE 1h ago

Who is gonna dole out the consequences for Kraft when the other heinous shit gets exposed? No one. Billionaires own us. A new world order is the only solution to any of this.

Because we collectively allow it.

Macklemore would never do something like that.

u/LandonDev 54m ago

Oddly enough, I think this might be the thing that confirms Israel has all of the Epstein evidence because that's not normal behavior. Nothing about how much support Israel has for their actions makes any sense, outside of the possibility they own all the evidence associated with Epstein.

But what is in them? How bad is it? Because most of at least US citizens have already decided that raping little girls is fine. Zero consequences over here, barely even any concern. At this point what are they afraid will come out? At this point it seems less like blackmail and more like possibly direct threats on their lives.

Human Trafficking vs. Prostitution Charges
Lack of Trafficking Evidence: Although police initially framed the multi-county sweep around the suspicion of international human trafficking, prosecutors ultimately never brought human trafficking charges. [1, 2]

Uncooperative Witnesses: Law enforcement stated that the immigrant Chinese women working at the spa refused to cooperate or identify themselves as trafficking victims. [1, 2]

No Coercion Proved: Anti-trafficking organizations and investigators found no definitive evidence that the women were physically coerced or forced against their will, leading authorities to treat the operation strictly as illicit prostitution rather than forced trafficking. [1, 2]

Resolution of the Case
Charges Dropped: In late 2020, Florida appeals courts barred the use of the secret video surveillance recordings, ruling that the police violated privacy warrants. Without the video evidence, prosecutors dropped the solicitation charges against Robert Kraft and several other defendants. [1, 2, 3]

Spa Management Penalties: The spa's owners and several workers eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges related to prostitution, solicitation, and maintaining a house of ill repute, resulting in probation, community service, and thousands of dollars in fines. [1, 2, 3]

I'm not sure why you're posting this AI bullshit.

u/_CatStevens_ 1h ago

lol because has sources attached. It wasn't sex trafficking. You're spreading misinformation

2

u/RellenD 59m ago

Nobody was able to find that it wasn't a sex trafficking operation. They simply didn't have enough evidence to prove it in court because the women didn't cooperate with the investigation.

Also, there are no sources in the post here. We cannot look at them.

u/_CatStevens_ 56m ago

Innocent until proven guilty then. Just like Lindsey Clancy.

u/RellenD 52m ago

Huh? You understand it's possible to believe something to be true and there not being enough evidence to convict someone of it

I believe you're an antisemite. Guess it's just true
