Courts dont work that way. Plus the prosecution has to prove that the surveillance was legal to begin with.

Seriously, it's going to be hard to prove it was non-consensual without audio....plain and simple. He pays for a message, they are instanly attracted to each other, they have sex, she says mom needs money in China... he leaves her a hundo to send to the homeland to help her mother...

 

with no audio saying otherwise..prove it didn't happen that way?

The law says reasonable doubt, not no doubt. Does a reasonable person believe that load of malarkey?

Of course they don't but it's also very possible that people in a jury (it will never go to one of course) can decide someone is guilty based on simple reason along with circumstantial evidence. You would also have to believe that the 19 or however many other guys also had this somewhat swift romantic consensual relationship with this woman, who was also arrested. There is rarely real proof in a lot of these cases. The chances that a bullet linked by forensics to a murder weapon is wrong is much more likely than this not being prostitution and everyone on earth that follows this knows it no matter what they say.

I know we're arguing about a hypothetical scenario (will never go to trial) but I highly doubt evidence of the other 19 comes in.

I understand. But I am also saying that a 12 member jury, even if not allowed to think about the other 19, will think of the other 19, and could very well conclude, without "proof" that this was prostitution beyond a reasonable doubt (if they have video of Kraft two times, on two consecutive days, with two different women). An eyewitness account is not "proof." Simple living on the planet for 18+ years is all the proof you need to know with 99.999999% certainty that this was prostitution.

For a handsome and strapping young man like Kraft, it must happen all the time! 

 

 

 

Or.....it could be the money.....

Juries cannot come to a decision based on supposition like you are proposing .  They must  only weigh only the evidence presented during the case .  I believe A judge will even set aside a verdict if its apparent that the  jury came to a decision like the scenario that you propose ?

This is not going to a jury trial. Petty offenses are decided by a judge.

That would never even be mentioned at trial.

This.  No one would buy any other scenario.

People are nuts in this thread. It's not going to trial. Everyone knows that. I am proposing that if it did, the jury would be seeing two tapes of Kraft paying a woman and then getting sex and then leaving in 14 minutes. There is no other possible conclusion to that except he paid for sex. It was not a date. They were not lovers getting a quickie. Lawyers can argue all they want that it is not what it seems but everyone in the world would know it was paid sex. Which is illegal.

The justice you seek will prevail and help enable the enslavement of more so that pillars of society like your hero can repeat the cycle.  Yahoo.

I have no clue what you mean here. Are you saying guilty to proven innocent? Are you saying rich= guilty? what exactly is your point.lease be specific and not esoteric.

1. He's a scum bag but far from the first to do this sort of thing.

2. He deserves a trial of course.

3. It is very clear what he did and it would be annoying if he got away with it by being a weasel, but he'd still be a weasel.

4. I don't give a crap about him.

5.  I find it incredibly sad that the women and countless more like them are truly considered as lesser beings than this all important football team owner.  We are all created equal but these women were not treated that way and they still aren't being treated like equals.  Kraft, among others, may not have known they were enslaved then, but he does now.  His resources and actions knowing this are being expended 100% on himself.  My opinion is that he is a reprobate and is contributing to society in a negative way.  Eff him.

 

That wasn't esoteric was it?
