She declined to provide a copy of the current policy as written.

You know as well as I do that employers of all stripes do illegal shit all the time because they know damned well their employees can’t afford to take them to court over it.

“The policy, outlined in an employee handbook, called for those who left anyway to pay back money earned during the weeks they were on leave.”

Of course, legalizing and regulating sex work would all but eliminate the trafficking aspect. These “stings” and crackdowns are no different than drug war raids, they get a flashy press conference, maybe a big name or two, and they change absolutely nothing.

Both Indian River and Martin County officials outlined the same scheme: Poor women pay brokers to come over from China to work what they think will be legitimate jobs as maids or houseworkers, only to be coerced into sex work.

I’ll allow it.

The practice is widespread. It’s against the rules, strictly speaking, but it’s largely overlooked. Individuals are given some leeway as long as they’re discreet, but when the practice rises to a level of systemic deception, it’s inevitable that an example will be made.

If you’re wondering why Kraft got his rocks off at a low-rent establishment, never, ever, ever forget that the richest assholes are usually the cheapest assholes.

He could, but this is probably his fetish. Some men like having the consent part of sex be, at best, vague. 

Ya, this sounds like a bad one too. Those poor women. And what a cheap bastard! Get a sugar baby you miser!!! I do agree it should be legalized and regulated though. But the politicians love the hysteria anything having to do with sex can evoke.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to rip on Kraft too much when I first saw the headline. Sex work is real work even if it pisses off the morality police. If two consenting adults exchange money or goods in return for sex, why should I care?

The literal article you are commenting contains a quote from the detective working the case describing how this specific massage parlor engaged in human trafficking.  

the fee for 30 minutes was $59 dollars, or $79 for an hour. He did not specify what Kraft paid.

“Nobody believed in us.”

All of this screams raging personality disorder to me. Getting caught and then doubling down? He just seems unwilling to accept any responsibility for his actions at all, and also seems to look at them as a means to gain ever more attention for being wronged, except most of the world has stopped playing along.
