Well, last month, Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, apparently had a good time at the Orchids of Asia Spa… Kraft is one of 25 people charged. Several spas were part of a raid in the West Palm Beach area as part of a crackdown on human trafficking and prostitution.
Kraft, a widow, age 77, has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution per Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr. Evidence was gathered by bodycam video and surveillance over the last several months. The average cost for services at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa is $60-$80. Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in the sting operations including Homeland Security, the IRS, Jupiter PD, and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office. The sting operation lasted an estimated 8 months and up to 100 men have been identified.
Kraft is worth an estimated $6 billion, so visiting a spa at a bargain day rate… well, you be the judge.
Meanwhile, remember Jeffrey Epstein? You know, Bill Clinton’s ole’ buddy and sin island?
Federal prosecutors, including U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, broke federal law when signing a plea deal agreement with Jeffrey Epstein, a judge ruled Thursday.
Epstein, a former hedge fund manager, helped to operate an international sex ring in which he recruited underage girls in Florida and from overseas. He was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and served only about a year in an arrangement of jail time and work release that began in 2008.
Acosta, the federal prosecutor overseeing the case at the time, met privately with Epstein’s attorney in 2007 to cut the lenient deal, and the future Trump appointee agreed to keep the arrangement from Epstein’s victims, according to a November report in the Miami Herald, despite federal law requiring such disclosure.
In a 33-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra said Epstein was not prosecuted under federal sex trafficking laws. Instead, Acosta, then the U.S. attorney in Miami, helped devise a non-prosecution agreement that gave Epstein and those who worked with him immunity from federal prosecution, the Miami Herald reported on Thursday.
“Petitioners and the other victims should have been notified of the Government’s intention to take that course of action before it bound itself under the [non-prosecution agreement],” Marra wrote.
The ruling did not issue a punishment. Marra gave the government and Epstein’s victims 15 days to come up with a resolution, though it’s unclear what that resolution could be.
Typical ‘business as usual’ in Palm Beach County…you know…that same county that had ‘chad’ on voting ballots in 2000, and continues with it’s Deep State modus operandi as per jury findings.
Different standards being applied, just like the dismissed case of the Franklin cover-up???
Wait & see the end result of the investigation, case, and what witnesses and evidence gets dismissed!
