The NFL is the owners tho, they don't give a shit about these scandals and have capped their maximum fines to approximately 0.0007% of Rob Kraft's net worth to show how much they care.

Jupiter Police chief just announced Patriots owner Robert Kraft is being charged with solicitation (human trafficking involved)

I'm aware. Kraft is also rich AF so it's mostly an empty PR gesture from the NFL.
There's been a lot of feminist writing on the definition of consent in sex work. In this case, these are not even voluntary sex workers. They're doing it against their will. If that's the the case, there is no true consent, hence the rape instance the poster mentioned.
Definitely deeper stuff than the periphery of this case.
Goddamn the Patriots Organization continues to be pure trash. They'll probably go undefeated next season
It's victimless if you ignore the victims, yes. By that measure literally every crime is victimless.
Damn fucking right he is and so are the rest of the Johns on that list. You think those women can give consent?
I have no stats to back up my statement, thats why I threw that in there haha. A lot of these have been busted in my area, and there is always human trafficking involved. People casually defending or brushing this off are disgusting me right now.
Some reporting says Robert Kraft isn't even the biggest name from people charged, and some other bigger names from South Beach might come out from this investigation.
I really enjoyed how they all became physicists after Deflategate.
Is it weird that this story broke on the same day that the Epstein case is finally getting attention?
And it's a serious issue that they still have a role in the organization.
Where are they getting these women and, in some sick cases, girls?
TMZ guy was just on WEEI
They been going over this for days. Kraft is the biggest name.
List is also on twitter
Prostitution isn't normally rape. If you can prove that Kraft knew they were being trafficked then that's rape but I haven't seen anything to that effect.
Given these are only misdemeanor charges, I'm not sure where we go with this discussion. I agree generally. I'm just not sure where it goes in the context of this specific situation.
Almost like if you have a Patriots picture you're trying to dismiss this. Weird!
The son should not be punished because of something his father did. What you are saying doesn't make sense.
Yes, I mentioned the rape discussion is definitely deeper and more nuanced that the known facts of this case far. Books and theses have been written on this subject. Moreover, there are no current laws of this on the books since it's so hard quantify.
Bro, these people are forced to fuck for money. They can't give consent.
If he had known about the ring, wouldn't they charged him with something more serious? Sorry, I'm new to having a sports owner who frequents massage parlors.
There is most no chance he didn't know. You don't go to this place and think it's on the up and up.
Robert Kraft is scum.
I guess I should've clarified, or just made it more clear, but what I meant was people still to be charged.
Sorry for the confusion.
That's fucked up, man. Women were forced into sexual slavery.
Gillette is a sponsor of the Pats and has the naming rights to the Pat's stadium.
His ignorance doesn't mean shit to his victims. They're people that have been enslaved and you want to let this scumbag off the hook?
It's obviously not rape by the definition of law, but the poster is completely accurate in calling it as such. If a women is being forced into prostitution, as was happening here, every person taking advantage of her services are essentially raping her. How can there be consent if the entire premise is without any to begin with? This is part of the reason why human trafficking is taken so seriously by law enforcement, and why people going to fake massage parlors are charged with a crime, because at least they can get them for something for being complicit in large scale victimization and rape of women.
I realize that they are but that doesn't tell us Kraft's involvement. Him only being charged with solicitation points to him not knowing beyond regular prostitution, which usually isn't rape.
better get used to it, there are gonna be a lot pats fans saying stupid shit like that.
You don't care that innocent women are being forced into sex unwillingly? You're absolutely disgusting and hopefully not representative of Pats fans.
Edit: Dude was banned already. Is that an Era post to ban record?
