      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

          People aren't aware of how often "crimes" originate entirely with the FBI (through "informants") who trap people into agreeing with them to do something illegal

          I wonder if they take verbatim a police statement when it concerns a cop shooting a civilian?

          Prostitutes also consent. The thing is, they most often consent for one of three reasons: 1) They have emotional trauma 2) They support a drug habit 3) They are forced to consent by a pimp or someone similar. Prostitution is illegal, and should remain as such.

          Also skepticism of this being a “sting” is stupid. Police have been doing prostitution stings targeted at prosecuting “Johns” for decades. It’s just that until a millionaire gets caught, nobody in media cares.

          Non-consent is rape or assault which is far different from what has been charged.

          Is it legal in Florida if he pays for it? Consenting or not?

          There are no victims in this case it was part of a sting operation

          I have not read anything yet--is there any indication police were looking for human trafficking victims? Organized crime connections?

          You moralists are missing Mike’s legal point here. The facts will show from Kraft’s perspective that this was an arms length transaction between 2 consenting adults. Yes, illegal, but let’s not blame Kraft for being part of human trafficking

          Look I disagree with hiring a professional for sex being illegal. Hell its just paying for a service to me. But it is illegal. So change the law.

          Consenting is a pretty loose term when coercion is involved. But feel free to defend Kraft. It’s pretty on brand for you.
