Our best hope is that Kraft takes a page out of the playbook of Bezos. When the Enquirer tried to shame Bezos into silence, his reaction was "You're not coming for me, mothafugga. I'm coming for you! It was epic!
Hopefully Kraft doesn't tuck tail and hide. Kraft is the right person and this is the right time for major legislative reform to decriminalize prostitution. He's wealthy, he's powerful, he's widowed / single, and he clearly is on the side of sanity. He's also older so hopefully he is more interested in doing what is right than what the old ladies at the country club think about him.
One more point.
There are TONS of undocumented women who are working for cleaning companies. They are working 12-14 hour days doing unsanitary, hard, disgusting work for below minimum wage. Where are the news articles about these women? But if that same woman earns a days salary in a 30 minutes by giving an old guy a massage, it is an OUTRAGE! It is vitally important to get that poor woman back cleaning toilets for 14 hours a day and barely being able to feed her kids, right? Either that or deport her back to her country so she and her kids can live in abject poverty for the rest of their lives. Dumb.

Don't think we have a board for Wheaton or DuPage county but I may be wrong. Who knows about this place?

Don't think we have a board for Wheaton or DuPage county but I may be wrong. Who knows about this place?[/QUOTE]That sounds like a North Avenue Clip Joint (aka Ripoff joint). The places on both North Ave and Lake Street have a long reputation for being rip off joints Their business plan is to hit the customer with upsells after you walk in the door promising the world, but after you pay always failing to deliver. (check out the rip off alerts forum on this site). If any customer complained there were big goons more than willing to handle any complaints. I'm surprised the powers that be actually went after them. They've been protected by them forever (probably were given a financial incentive to look the other way) despite literally no one wanting them here. The only goal of those places was to get as many pigeons as they could in the door and take as much money from them as they could. Good riddance.

On the news last night they interviewed the next door dance studio owner who said that the other day her students were leaving and there was a "screamer" next door so it was pretty obvious what was going on in there.
I warned everyone about this specific place a few months ago under general topics. She was pretty convincing sending me a picture with 3 fingers up. My past experience of getting ripped off in Roselle (lake street) stopped me from going into this place. They chose their location poorly and I'm glad.

[QUOTE=KarnEvil9;4164578]I'm down here right now in this general area. One local news channel reported that the cops staked out one particular spa for 6 days and saw 97 guys go in and out. I'm guessing they ran their license plates. As of now, this is just a guess. They also reported that the cops did something called a "trash pull" and found a spreadsheet of financial records. They may have gotten credit card info from these records. On the early evening news, they showed all the mugshots with names and dates of birth. They also put a tracking device on the vehicle of one of the owners.[/QUOTE]I read they stopped all of the guys exiting the spa and asked for their driver's license. They asked for Kraft's even though he was not driving. He could have refused.
The prosecution is not doing so well. No human trafficking was found. They even arrested the girls working there which tells you they were not forced to be there. This is a botched operation and Kraft will most likely go free. Remember, the police got the warrants to place the cameras on premise based on information they said they had that human trafficking was there. They did not have evidence and went to a Judge and got the warrant (sounds like a different Court situation named FISA. I digress). And they had reports of the Video leaking. It could only come from the Prosecutor's office. I bet you anything all charges will be dropped. The Prosecutor may be in trouble with the Court because of the leak.
News from the sunshine state. The good news is that a judge isn't allowing the video footage from the sting which ensnared the Patriots owner, among others. It's always a little comforting when the judicial system sides with liberty and privacy.

The bad news is that Florida is taking the trafficking charade to a horrible new low where they want to make a registry of patrons caught up in stings. We need to fight back!

Tl; dr yes law enforcement monitors this site but unless you're a pedo they in all likelihood don't give a shit.
