He's probably mortified to the Nth degree. Well, maybe.

Woops

Just got a notification from ESPN about it but didn't care enough to open it.  Regretting my decision, maybe I'll try to find it but the ESPN app is kinda a mess in my opinion (or maybe its just user error?)

My buddy also got it, just a standard denial from krafts people 

Well maybe the commissioner Roger Goodell will come to his aid. The news broke the story about the massage parlors two days ago & said a list of johns would be forthcoming. You would think a man with his wealth would be a little more careful.

Yeah the solicitation thing wouldn’t be that big of a deal but trafficking is indeed a big deal 

I think an appropriate punishment is forfeiture of this years Lombardi trophy to the Rams...

 

But then the Saints will request the Rams forfeit it to them based on the blown call in the playoffs...

 

But then the Bucs will demand the Saints forfeit it based on the first game of the season...

 

Your Super Bowl LIII champs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!!

?

Nothing about trafficking will come back to him, just the sex. We all pay for it one way or the other anyway.

Is it considered “consensual” if the females are kidnapped and forced into servitude?

Doesn't matter - he's a billionaire. He'll get a slap on the wrist and told 'Don't do that again.'

I don't pretend to know the law, but I'm pretty sure he had nothing to do with trafficking. I realize anyone who hates the Pats just loves this, but it isn't a big deal in my mind. Would be legal in Nevada. Kind of like pot, just depends on where you are.

Yeah, this isn't a big deal for Kraft, other than the embarrassment he may or may not feel. Sex trafficking is a huge, disgusting problem but that won't fall on Kraft. He had nothing to do with that. Supposedly there is a bigger name than Kraft caught up in this that hasn't been released yet.

Well trafficking is a big deal and is not legal in any state. It’s evil and disgusting, not small potatoes. Let’s just hope no one we know is ever kidnapped and forced into sexual servitude. Remember these women have moms and dads back home that are Probably looking for them. I’m aware Kraft May have not known about that part but he just wrapped himself up in a ring of it. To say he had “nothing to do with trafficking” is completely False if he was indeed a paying customer at the establishment. You can’t eat ground beef at a burger joint and walk out claiming to be a vegetarian .

That’s for sure, I don’t think he will need a loan for any fines he may incur

Hey guys, the old goat is 78 years old and can still perform.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended.

But when we indulge these negative emotions we are giving something outside of ourselves power over our happiness.

We can choose to not let little things upset us.

Every minute we're angry, we give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. 

The best speeches I've ever regretted, were made when angry.

We can go to Bluebasser for confirmation, but I believe in this instance, being a billionaire is irrelevant.  What he got arrested for is a misdemeanor, all of the other Johns (assuming it is their first offense) will get the same punishment, a basic slap on the wrist.  For most offenders, the embarrassment of being publicly revealed is enough to deter them from doing it again.  The cops are really after the sex traffickers, arresting the Johns is just a way to cut down on the demand.

 

However, Kraft choosing to proclaim his innocence may end up in a more severe sentence.  The cops say they have video evidence, if Kraft tries to pull some "it was just consensual, no money changed hands" defense, the prosecutor may go after him hard.  If he (or any guilty party for that matter) just made a public confession, threw himself on the mercy of the court and accepted the consequences of his actions, the legal system and the American public can be very forgiving.

 

I knew he had a 39 year old girlfriend, so I was wondering why he would feel the need to go to some strip mall massage parlor for illegal action.  Then when I saw this image of her https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/ricki-noel-lander-net-worth/ and how it looks like she is trying as hard as possible to not be close to him, I figured theirs might be a different kind of arrangement.  With his wealth, I don't understand why he just didn't zip over to Nevada and get all the strange he wants legally.

How much is it at your "massage parlor"?
