    Stars Cabaret to pay $1.25 million settlement to teen sex trafficking victim

    "A teen forced to work as a prostitute at a Beaverton strip club when she was 13 will receive $1.25 million in what is the largest individual civil rights settlement brokered by Oregon's top labor regulator,"

    I was and still am a good soldier/husband. Never even took weed until I got out and went to college. I've shared joints with some of your major chip designers including Intel ones. If you prosecuted all of them or withheld a security clearance from them we might not be the leaders in chip design today. I admitted to my use of weed and still got my clearance although I suspect that it was contrary to the official who interviewed me. Since it was an NSA clearance, I suspect they knew how prevalent it was on college campuses.
    Prostitutes? I've never been attracted to them. Does that make me weird?

    Super Bowl selfie emerges of Trump with founder of spa where New England Patriots owner was arrested

    A selfie-style photo from President Trump’s annual Super Bowl watch party emerged on Friday showing the president with the founder of a chain of Florida spas — including the one where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested for soliciting prostitution.

    Trump and Kraft are longtime friends, and the president famously roots for the Patriots.

    Kraft was busted in a prostitution ring on Feb. 22 at one of the spas founded by 45-year-old Li Yang, one of the women in the selfie with Trump.

    Yang sold the spa, now called the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, in 2013.

    The Feb. 3 photo obtained by the Miami Herald appears to be taken sometime during the Super Bowl party at Trump’s West Palm Beach county club. The Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in the big game.

    The president is seen smiling for a photo with two women at a table behind him. One of the women photographed in the selfie was Yang, according to the Herald.

    It is unclear if Trump knows Yang or the other woman in the photo, which looks like the kind of selfie Trump probably frequently gets requested to take with fans.

    Kraft was arrested less than three weeks after the photo was taken.

    Li was not charged in the anti-human trafficking operation conducted last month, the Herald noted. Ten Asian day spas were shut down in the sting, but none were registered to her or her family.

    She told the Herald in what it described as a brief phone interview that she and her family have not broken the law and that she was out of the spa business.

    Kraft, 77, was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution after police said he was captured on video soliciting the illicit activities at the spa. He has since pleaded not guilty.

    Trump said he was “surprised” to see the charges against his longtime friend and called the situation “very sad.”

    Yang previously showed no political engagement before Trump ran for office in 2016, having not voted for the 10 years prior to his White House bid, The Herald reported.

    The businesswoman has since attended several Republican political events, including being invited to the White House in February 2018 for an event hosted by the Asian American and Pacific Islander Initiative, an advisory commission Trump established by executive order the year before.

    Her Facebook page includes a signed photograph of her standing next to the president.

    Additional images show her posing with Republican Sen. Rick Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the president’s adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric.

    In addition to attending Republican fundraisers and galas, often clutching a rhinestone encrusted “MAGA” purse, the Herald found records of Yang’s political contributions.

    Yang and her close relatives have donated more than $42,000 to Trump Victory, a political action committee, and more than $16,000 to the Trump campaign, the newspaper reported.

    He only visits them for locker room talk.
    He won't touch any woman he can't pay off. Edit: Well, maybe in the dark.

    It has to do with the basis of the thread. It's this basis that we should all be restricting ourselves to.

    I'm going to vehemently disagree.

    Here's the root title "Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Arrested for Soliciting Prostitution"

    And here's the link in the root post "Kraft is alleged to have engaged in illegal activity at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, located in Jupiter, in two different visits."

    Now, Sly's post mentions that the photo in question shows Trump with the owner of the Orchids of Asia Day Spa.

    Is anything clicking for you?

    A picture of Trump with a woman in the background who sold the spa 6 years earlier. You’re reaching.

    Prosecutors to drop charges if Kraft admits they could have got him...WTF

    Also Kraft must

    • Take a class about how prostitution is bad
    • Take a STD awareness class
    • 100 hours community service
    • $5000 fine

    Privelage at it's fucking finest

    I’m not sure if that’s not a normal first offense type of deal. We certainly don’t want to fill the jails with nonviolent offenders. People get a similar thing when they get their first DUI, take a class, pay a fine, do community service. I’m guessing that it’s similar

    The problem isn’t that sentence it’s that some judges might throw the book at people too easily. He’s a douche, but he shouldn’t have the book thrown at him because he is or isn’t a friend of Trump or wealthy.
