      OK, so the Robert Kraft arrest had nothing to do with rescuing helpless underage sex trafficked victims. It was all about busting adults engaged in consensual sexual activity. Everyone who bought the cops' story because they disliked Kraft was a total dupehttps://twitter.com/mollycrabapple/status/1121467623022239745 …

      58 year old sex worker who was with Kraft is now in jail. Police found $43,000 in her safe deposit box, which they’ll no doubt confiscate. If she posts bond her passport will be confiscated But this was all about saving trafficked women, right? https://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/woman-accused-of-performing-sex-act-on-robert-kraft-at-jupiter-day-spa-arrested …

      Prosecutors now admit that no "sex trafficking" was uncovered. Moreover, some of the tactics employed by the Jupiter, FL police were absolutely ridiculous, such as fabricating a "bomb scare" to clear out the Spa so they could surreptitiously install video surveillance equipmentpic.twitter.com/lb6dntGJhx

      Amateur hour at the Jupiter, FL police department: Detective misrepresented the Spa workers' ages. This case is fairly likely to be thrown out. Funny, when the news initially broke and I encouraged skepticism of the cops' claims, I was accused of "defending" sex trafficking ringspic.twitter.com/wMoN8DxxIY

      Robert Kraft's wife of 48 years died in 2011. So he engaged in some private sexual activity that was surreptitiously recorded by moralizing cops on a power trip. Kraft is the victim here, whatever else you might think about him. Press coverage of this story was atrocious

          Read some of the nasty replies to my original tweet on this from February 22. Bunch of "liberals" and Resistance blowhards credulously parroting the cops because they hated Kraft due to his association with Trump. Idiotshttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1098998482726207493 …

          i would argue that the sex workers are the victims here. kraft is a billionaire who suffered an inconvenience.

          Thanks for this thread. As usual there is always more to the story. Why can't we get honest reporting on anything. Everything has to have some sort of spin or narrative to shame or smear some one.

          If that is all it was, the police conduct is both prurient and pathetic given all the other law enforcement issues out there. Sex trafficking, however, would have been a legitimate basis for an investigation.

          Puritanical obsession with human naughty bits and sex; any public reference to sex is scandal; scandal gets the clicks.

          Kraft is a Trump supporter. That's why the press covered it the way they did. If Kraft supported Dems, it wouldn't have made the press at all.
