I don't think he is married (his wife died of cancer several years ago). If he isn't married then I don't think it's that big of a scandal as long as the girl isn't underage I don't object to prostitution on moral grounds, but sex trafficking is disgusting and being involved in that, even peripherally, is reprehensible. He's a wealthy man with plenty of resources at his disposal. If he wanted to be sure his paid sex worker was legit, he absolutely could. He didn't bother. He's trash. |

His lawyers are stating that they "categorically deny" that he did anything wrong or illegal. The report that I read stated that, and right before it had the police quoted as saying that they have VIDEO EVIDENCE of his wrong doing. Cannot wait to see how that plays out. Maybe he will bring out his "calendars". Or exploit grief over losing his wife. He will likely claim that he did not know nuthin' about it being illegal or the who/what/where. It will be deny, deny, deny, double down, deny. Those poor girls.  |

"Let's have sex with humans that were stolen and pay the traffickers. A-ok! As long as you're not married!" 👌 🤮🤦🏻♀️🤯 When I posted my comment I did not know that they were sex traffickers. I assumed it was a transaction between a consenting adult prostitute and an unmarried guy. If you read above, I retracted my original statement |

From ESPN
In light of today's news about Patriots owner Robert Kraft, it's important to remember that owners are subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy. In fact, the policy states that "ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more significant discipline when violations of the Personal Conduct Policy occur." In 2014, for instance, Colts owner Jim Irsay was suspended six games and fined $500,000 after being arrested on drug charges.

He represents the brand and has to behave accordingly. I'm sure they'll find a way around it. Now, if he had taken a knee, then all bets are off. (Just being a little sarcastic) |

I think the only trafficking some people care about is the fake kind happening in non-existent pizza parlors.
Do you think these women from China came over the southern border? Or do you think perhaps they came the way most come in - by overstaying visits after legally clearing airports?!??!!

The article on Yahoo states that some of the women were forced into prostitution after coming to the US on work visa, so they were not smuggled into the country. The article also stated there are some high powered names on the police sweep list. So Kraft probably had acquaintances refer him to this place. |

The news is saying he’s not even the biggest name that’s involved. Worth $6b but won’t pony up for a legit prostitute. I’m more pissed that he’ll likely just get a slap on the wrist.

I believe that Viagra is the worst invention ever . I think men should need permission from their wives/girlfriends, a 3 day waiting period, a sonogram of their penis, and only doctors w/admitting privileges should be able to prescribe it. |

Baffled as to his thinking. Obviously, he wasn’t! He has a girlfriend under the age of 40. Shaking my head and disappointed as a Pat’s fan. That said, they say there are 200 indictments to come, so why is his name the only one out there yet?

I believe that Viagra is the worst invention ever . I don't know if you're joking, but this been brought up in my book group a couple times and the wives are not thrilled. Granted, I'm talking about the "original" wives, the 60+ year-old ones who were, frankly, not all that disappointed with the prospect of things slowing down a bit, perhaps taking longer, perhaps requiring a bit more effort, perhaps "real sex" (penetration, according to the men) becoming less frequent and maybe "just" cuddling or doing "other things" *reciprocally* if he couldn't "perform" all/every time, etc.
Now with Viagra he's got his teenage hard-on back at his command (literally) and she's got to buy stock in KY jelly and be thrilled for him or be the old fuddy duddy. And worry he's wondering about all the guys who are getting second wives who are 20-30 years younger -- and keeping them happy in the sack thanks to Viagra. (But are they really? Cuz we know it's more than just about getting it up, but when you're the "old" wife and your husband wants to take Viagra even though you've told him you're happy with things the way they are, you worry.)
And, yes, we all know there are toys, etc. for her and things he can and should do and so on and so forth, but it's not what these gals were expecting in the 3rd/4th/+ decade of marriage. They don't *want* toys and teddies and all that. They were *happy* with the slow down, and now Viagra and 80 billion articles on the internet tell them they can and should be having sex like they were 30 years ago.
(Totally different thing if there's a medical reason, obviously.)

But if it is illegal, then do the crime do the time IMO. I really don’t otherwise care what two consenting adults do, but if it is something illegal the rich old bastard better get the same treatment as anyone else who gets caught doing it (and yes I know that unfortunately is not reality). Comment just made on TV, here is a billionaire, going to a strip mall for a $25.00 massage/activity. They say the act is on the video of each and every one who has a warrant out!  ...because I couldn’t like your post |

So trumpster has spoken on this....
“He's proclaimed his innocence totally," according to Trump.
That same acceptance is not always given to others.
Trumpster has been eviscerating Smollett over Twitter (Smollett has proclaimed his innocence too), yet for some reason his word means nothing, but Kraft’s matters.
Hmmm. I wonder if it’s blackness, the millions in donations, the Jupiter club, old White guys having sex against a women’s will...
It is absolutely disgusting that trump will lie his ass off, make up shit, describe a visual image (3 -4 women duct taped...) make unfounded accusations against immigrants re: sex trafficking, yet when presented with REAL VIDEO EVIDENCE, against at least one of his million dollar supporters and billionaire, he cannot even eek out a fucking denouncement to the FACTS that these women were held against their will, used as sex slaves, and this is homegrown (old white man) sex trafficking. Just like Epstein.
Trump is a motherfucker and needs to be removed from office.
