If you're going to that kind of massage parlor, I think it's safe to say that the women there may not feel like they have any other choice but to perform sex work, thereby making it non-consensual.


Then they should be free to choose not to work there or perform those acts.

I think women should have the right to decide what they do with their bodies.

Women should.
These women may have been denied that right.


That is a separate issue. Kraft wasn't arrested for sexual assault, he was arrested for solicitation, which, IMO, is an archaic law because it prohibits a woman from making the decision for herself.

You suggested that these were consenting adults.
I am questioning whether they gave consent.


Well, we don't know that. We only know Kraft was arrested for solicitation (offering money in exchange for sex), not sexual assault.

So it doesn't sound like he forced them to do anything.

If Robert Kraft held them there beyond their will, he better be charged with more than solicitation and released.

(I meant he should be charged with way more RATHER than solicitation and subsequently released)

No one is asserting that Robert Kraft forced these women to do anything.
Their 'employer' may have.

Sex slaves from Asia trafficked to America and forced to perform sex is not two consenting adults.

Are you sure these women fall into that category?

I don't think anyone can say with certainty yet, but we do know that this is the MO for this type of business.
Seems best to just not give money to illegal sex traders who may be involved with kidnapping, human trafficking and enslavement.

After I questioned I did a little search on the establishment. Nothing conclusive but certainly a possibility.

Here's more on the prostitution ring: TCPalm

From reports it seems that there were madames who would consensually engage with customers, but that the same madams would entrap other women into performing sex acts in order to pay off debts.

Exactly! The accusation against Robert Kraft is for solicitation as I said, which is the charge for offering up money in exchange for sex.

That, IMO, shouldn't be a crime. Nor should it to accept money in exchange for sex.

Wow, holy racism Batman! Do we know if the women forced to perform acts are even asian? Or are you making that assumption because ya know, the business uses one of them asian names?

Forcing a woman to do ANYTHING is wrong. That is an entirely separate issue.

Paying a woman for a haircut is fine. Forcing a woman to give you a haircut is wrong. How is it then that our logic seeks to just outlaw haircuts?

Making soliciting a prostitution a crime means you're also against prostitution. And if you're against that, then, you're against a woman's right to choose what she does with her body.


Quote:
Police announced Thursday that human traffickers lured women to 10 Orlando-area massage parlors, where they were intimidated into prostitution, TCPalm reports. The 6-month investigation culminated in charges against dozens of individuals who solicited the parlors, including New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft.

Details: The spas were closed down on Tuesday as Vero Beach Police began making arrests. Indian River County agencies issued warrants for 173 people on charges that include human trafficking, racketeering and soliciting prostitution. Thus far, nearly 50 of the 165 accused of paying for sex acts have been arrested.

Six "major players" have been charged in organizing the prostitution ring, according to TCPalm. Two remain at large.

Detectives witnessed an Orlando couple bring multiple women with suitcases into and out of their spas in Sebastian, Winter Park and Orlando, Florida, "for the purpose of sexual servitude," according to an arrest warrant. Police said the victims, many of which came from China on temporary work visas, lived in the spas and weren't permitted to leave freely.

I agree.
Robert Kraft is accused of solicitation.
Solicitation should not be a crime.
Accepting money for sex should not be a crime.

Kidnapping and enslavement are crimes, and these women may have been the victims of human trafficking for the purpose of enslaving them as sex workers against their will. As such, they cannot and did not give consent.

Don't know if they're still dating. She said he was not the baby's father.

Wrong.

She showed me that many of them were asian, clearly not all. And that some of them were "forced", but not all. We still don't know if the specific woman Kraft engaged with was asian or whether the engagement was consensual since the same article said that some of the madames engage with customers consensually.

Kraft isn't charged with sex trafficking. He was charged with solicitation.

So I'll reiterate my original point which is that I think women should be allowed to engage in sex work and so I don't see why soliciting a sex worker should necessarily be outlawed.

When you said 'consenting adults' it seemed reasonable to infer that the adults in question were Kraft and the woman he paid to have sex with.
He consented.
She may not have consented.

An illustration:
Omar and Chef Linda are human traffickers.
They kidnap Ringfinger, enslave Ringfinger, and transport Ringfinger to a foreign land against Ringfinger's will with no hope of escape.
Omar and Chef Linda are mean and ruthless and super scary, so Ringfinger realizes that the only hope for survival is to do what they say.
Omar and Chef Linda force Ringfinger to work in a massage parlor and trade sexual acts for money.
Robert Kraft visits the establishment and Ringfinger performs a sex act upon Robert Kraft in exchange for an agreed upon price.

Did Ringfinger give consent?

Detectives witnessed an Orlando couple bring multiple women with suitcases into and out of their spas in Sebastian, Winter Park and Orlando, Florida, "for the purpose of sexual servitude," according to an arrest warrant. Police said the victims, many of which came from China on temporary work visas, lived in the spas and weren't permitted to leave freely.

What does any of this have to do with what Robert Kraft did?!!? That's all I said in my original post.

'
You basically called me a racist because I mentioned they were allegedly Asian. I provided you with back up. Thanks for the apology.


I didn't call YOU a racist. I called your statement a racist one. And frankly, it was. Of course I don't think you're a true racist. Unlike my friends on the left, I can draw that distinction.

I simply stated I don't get why what Robert Kraft did was wrong.

You replied with a quip about trafficking asians.

We don't even know if Robert Kraft solicited an asian woman (but let's make the leap that all massage parlor workers must be asian). Women of all kinds work in massage parlors, even ones with asian names.

That may be what you meant, but what you said was:

Archaic law imo

When you said 'consenting adults' it seemed reasonable to infer that the adults in question were Kraft and the woman he paid to have sex with.
He consented.
She may not have consented.

An illustration:
Omar and Chef Linda are human traffickers.
They kidnap Ringfinger, enslave Ringfinger, and transport Ringfinger to a foreign land against Ringfinger's will with no hope of escape.
Omar and Chef Linda are mean and ruthless and super scary, so Ringfinger realizes that the only hope for survival is to do what they say.
Omar and Chef Linda force Ringfinger to work in a massage parlor and trade sexual acts for money.
Robert Kraft visits the establishment and Ringfinger performs a sex act upon Robert Kraft in exchange for an agreed upon price.

Did Ringfinger give consent?


Thanks for putting the Robert Kraft gives Ringfinger a sex act image in my head. I can't unsee it now.

Ok, well "this" was in reference to the thread title. I can see why it isn't 100% clear.

But on your analogy -- no, I didn't give consent. Therefore, Omar and Chef Linda should be the ones going to prison but not Ringfinger nor Robert Kraft.

Sex slaves from Asia trafficked to America and forced to perform sex is not two consenting adults.


Wow, holy racism Batman! Do we know if the women forced to perform acts are even asian? Or are you making that assumption because ya know, the business uses one of them asian names?

Forcing a woman to do ANYTHING is wrong. That is an entirely separate issue.

Paying a woman for a haircut is fine. Forcing a woman to give you a haircut is wrong. How is it then that our logic seeks to just outlaw haircuts?

Making soliciting a prostitution a crime means you're also against prostitution. And if you're against that, then, you're against a woman's right to choose what she does with her body.

Police announced Thursday that human traffickers lured women to 10 Orlando-area massage parlors, where they were intimidated into prostitution, TCPalm reports. The 6-month investigation culminated in charges against dozens of individuals who solicited the parlors, including New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft.

Details: The spas were closed down on Tuesday as Vero Beach Police began making arrests. Indian River County agencies issued warrants for 173 people on charges that include human trafficking, racketeering and soliciting prostitution. Thus far, nearly 50 of the 165 accused of paying for sex acts have been arrested.

No, you accused her of being a racist by calling the sex slaves Asian. She showed you they were in fact Asian. Now you're walking it back.


Wrong.

She showed me that many of them were asian, clearly not all. And that some of them were "forced", but not all. We still don't know if the specific woman Kraft engaged with was asian or whether the engagement was consensual since the same article said that some of the madames engage with customers consensually.

Kraft isn't charged with sex trafficking. He was charged with solicitation.

So I'll reiterate my original point which is that I think women should be allowed to engage in sex work and so I don't see why soliciting a sex worker should necessarily be outlawed.


That doesn't apply to this as the parlor was being investigated for women being forced into sexual servitude.

And I'm not sure if it is legal or not in Florida/that county but if it's not then he shouldn't get a pass because the law he broke "shouldn't be a law" or he didn't know about the law. He still solicited sexual acts from an establishment that allegedly was forcing women to do those acts, even if they acted like they were consenting.
