I guess it's a good thing some people actually care. 

 

Like we see in this case, with prostitution often comes trafficking.

 

Secure the border and maybe there will be less trafficking...

That's a good first step.

 

Step two would be to make any "johns" arrested for soliciting from trafficked women culpable and criminally liable for the trafficking crime as well ala rico changes with organized crime. Not that that will stop a whole lot, but it'd be much easier to get those jackasses off the street.

Won't matter if he was aware of it. Trust me, the media will bury him.

 

This will be a huge PR disaster for Kraft, and NE to a certain extent.  I'd think the spa owners will be in more trouble for human trafficking, like jail trouble.

What if they were illegally brought into the country under false pretenses  and forced to do this as a slave?  There are degrees in this and this situation is among the worst.

 

As I said in my original post, we don’t have all the facts and there could be two very different realities occurring.

I've already gone through this multiple times in this thread- that matters legally speaking but it doesn't matter optically speaking and what the outrage machine will (or should) do with it. 

 

The reality is this: If you pay for sex, you're potentially getting it from a slave. He took that risk and he will pay in reputation and likely in career because of that. 

 

More to the point, it's a hard sell to imagine that he went in there and didn't have a single clue. If it was a well run establishment with willing women it would probably not be such a sketchy ass place. 

Yup. You'd think he'd be smart enough to at least have it checked out first by someone. I mean, it sounds like he was a regular.

 

Maybe he got off on the danger aspect, these things are never completely about sex. The thing is, knowing how the media operates, you can guarantee a long line of women he's paid for over the years will now come forward to tell their stories. Then you'll get the women he's worked with saying he's a sleaze, groper, or has propositioned them inappropriately.

 

They're going to lap this up. And then you'll probably have people coming forward about other high profile sports figures. It'll follow the same pattern as when the Harvey Weinstein story broke.

Policing against men who pay for sex is kinda like the war on drugs, it's a useless endeavor.  Just collect sex tax.

  This is a huge looming problem for Goodell.

Best thing to do is legalize it in controlled premises. Make an actual career that cuts out the pimps, requires the women to pay tax etc. Wouldn't 100% solve the problem but would make it a hell of a lot better.

He was not the one trafficking the girls...

 

He is the Market and the reason these girls are trafficked.

We live in a country of piss poor punishment. Everything is a plea deal and community service. Nothing says recidivism like "I had to pay a fine." 

 

I know from a real standpoint it doesn't work, but what about forced castration on men who use trafficked prostitutes? That'd ruffle some feathers.

The thing is, it shouldn't be.  Goodell fined Jim Irsay $500K and took away draft picks a couple of years ago for prescription drug abuse.  Goodell just has to come up with a punishment that suits the crime for patronizing a spa guilty of human smuggling.  I think the question becomes: did Kraft know about the smuggling?  If he did, the punishment should be even worse.

Only for certain crimes...

 

Oh, and we do have more ppl in prison per capita than any other country.

 

Secure the boarder, legalize drugs and prostitution and tax the ***** out of them.

 

Trafficking will go away.

  That might satisfy the men in the population but the women especially those who are wives or girlfriends might have a different take on your idea.  If your idea ever goes legal then I want to be there with an online school for divorce and palimony lawyers.

Women already own divorce court, so it's covered.
