    Presumptively skeptical of law enforcement resources being deployed to "sting" consenting adults for engaging in sexual activity, whether it's Robert Kraft getting busted or anyone else

        Of course the police would never mischaracterize situations like this, we should all just assume they're being honest and truthful. Because reflexively taking law enforcement claims at face value is always super prudent

        Hey trolls flooding into this thread: the key word is "consenting." If Kraft is found to have engaged in non-consenting or underage sex, then throw the book at him. Otherwise, there should be a presumption of skepticism given the overzealous tendencies of law enforcement

        You do realize these women were sex slaves and that’s why the cops busted the place, right?

        Yeah, but there's been mention of human trafficking, which if true means only one adult was truly consenting.

        There's always a mention of human trafficking. Doesn't mean it's true or that the action was really going to address human trafficking. Look at the banning of Backpage for "human trafficking." Generated a huge (predictable) spike in actual HT. Cops are stupid and they lie.

        I understand the sentiment but many people in these prostitution rings are not consenting whether or age or not.

        Maybe because some of them weren't consenting they were being forced.
