Robert Kraft Prostitution Sting Yields Zero Human Trafficking Charges.
EXCLUSIVE.
Robert Kraft and all the other suspects arrested in South Florida's prostitution sting are not facing a single charge of human or sex trafficking -- despite the fact cops made that their headline. TMZ Sports has learned.
We've confirmed with prosecutors in Palm Beach County -- home to the now-infamous Orchids of Asia Spa -- that Kraft is still only facing 2 solicitation charges. We're told that's also true for the other 25 "johns" arrested in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. Four other people have been arrested for operating or managing the spas, but even they haven't been charged with trafficking.
Sources familiar with the case tell us prosecutors have seen ZERO evidence of human trafficking to this point -- after a 5-month investigation. Further, we're told 2 federal agencies -- ICE and the FBI -- knew about the sting early on, and opted not to get involved because they saw no signs the case involved trafficking.
The police sting also targeted massage parlors in Indian River and Orange Counties with at least 45 additional arrests -- however, no trafficking charges have been reported there either. We've reached out to their State Attorney's Offices, but haven't heard back yet.

FIGHTING AGAINST TRAFFICKINGWPTV.
Multiple law enforcement agencies held widely covered news conferences nearly 3 weeks ago where they boasted of breaking up a trafficking ring. As Jupiter, FL's Police Chief Daniel Kerr put it, "Concern centers around the possibility of victims of human trafficking. ".
Of course, raising the specter of trafficking got the sting a lot more attention -- but it also painted Kraft and all the other suspects with a much more nefarious brush. Human trafficking is a felony punishable by serious prison time. Solicitation, on the other hand, is a misdemeanor.
Prosecutors and cops in Palm Beach County tell us further charges are still possible because their investigation is ongoing. A Jupiter PD official told us, "These things take time. ".
That can't sit well with the dozens of people who were publicly connected to such a serious crime before law enforcement had the goods to charge them.
I'm a Lavender fan. But I'm spooked
I was in that area Tuesday night (around 9 pm) and decided to stop for a massage. Driving up I see a lady sitting in her SUV a few parking spots from the entrance. I park a row over with a car between her and I and sit there for about 20. She never left. After reading about people scoping out AMPs outside I decided to leave. I'd rather not deal with the possibilities. Sucks though. That's the closest AMP to me. Call me spooked.
[QUOTE=BeenAroundX;4189324]Stopped here the other night. Went to room, attendant asked if I wanted 2 girls. Asked how much, she says 60 each, 1 hr. I ask to see other girl, she brings in 2 others. 1 looked familiar, then the other comes in, walks up, and kisses me. She was younger, smaller, pretty. I decided just one, and enjoyed a good massage, good teasing. Negotiate upseller of 60 for topless. Nice rack. She uses her mouth and tongue on my chest and stomach during HJ, open roaming. I really like this place, I've always had better than average service. Sorry, can't remember the name, but it was not coco.
Stay Safe.

Investigating Possible Human Trafficking
[QUOTE=BTBear;4192468]Robert Kraft and all of the other Johns are just guilty of paying for sex. It is the people who paid for the room / office / apartment that should be charged with human trafficking. They are the ones controlling the women, NOT the Johns.
What I can't believe is that the people who paid for the location aren't being charged with human trafficking. THEY benefited from the business, NOT the Johns.[/QUOTE](Sources familiar with the case tell us prosecutors have seen ZERO evidence of human trafficking to this point -- after a 5-month investigation.

3 Women arrested and all were licensed locally to massage. All are Florida residents and 2 of the 3 women have Florida drivers licenses. They identified the women long before the raid. There was No Human Trafficking. If there were women onsite that were forced into prostitution, I want to believe that law enforcement would liberate them immediately and not use them to set traps for customers.
If you read reports about every raid on a massage parlor, it is stated that they are investigating "Possible" Human Trafficking. This seems to better justify the show of force needed to take the place down. It also sets a stage for local politicians to beat their chests and show off their hard work.
I'm thinking that was Emma

BAX.[/QUOTE]I went there last night at 7. Hard massage was good. Teasing about average. Wouldn't do BJ even tho I offered more money. She wanted 100 for HJ I laughed and said 40 she said 60 and you touch everything. Finally settled on daty in 69 position, hj finish. Tasted nice and clean, alot of fake moans until the real moans started, they can't fake those. She has a full Afro down there. She like kissing on the mouth. Gave me her number and have texted already. Overall I would repeat, she's very cute. She Had to leave the room about 4-5 times due to customers coming in. She finished my hr with foot massage, my request. Almost put me to sleep.
A couple of questions on Columbus Vice
So now Cbus vice is "disbanded" what.
1. Will quality AMPs return?
With EL and C9 effectively moved off Bethel, will they return? I've seen here they moved more due to neighbors than LEO.
BTW, the RL location totally sucks.
2. What other towns may be up for a bust?
If you're not clean, an easy out to buy time will be to make a few publicized busts.
Any towns you are really leery about?
Stay safe always.
