"Patriots owner Robert Kraft solicited prostitute, police say"

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is being charged with misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution after he was twice videotaped paying for a sex act at an illicit massage parlor, police in Florida said Friday.

Jupiter police told reporters Friday that the 77-year-old Kraft hasn’t been arrested. A warrant will be issued and his attorneys will be notified. Kraft has denied wrongdoing.

Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said he was shocked to learn Kraft, who is worth $6 billion, was paying for sex inside a strip-mall massage parlor, the Orchids of Asia Day Spa.

“We are as equally stunned as everyone else,” Kerr said.

In Bob Kraft's defense, things started going hairy for him since he started eating salads with a comb.

Jussie Smollett: "Hey Bob Kraft, thanks bro. I'm not the top story anymore. You did me a solid."

Bob Kraft: "I'm innocent!! Innocent!"

Smollett: "He bro, we all say that. Blame it on drugs or hookers wearing MAGA caps.

"Man, 90, Tells Cops Hooker Ripped Him Off"

Via The Smoking Gun: A 90-year-old Massachusetts man was arrested for soliciting a prostitute after he called police to report that the woman stole a piece of jewelry after he paid her $100 to perform a sex act.

When cops told Nicholas Salerno that he would face a criminal charge for admitting to hiring a hooker, the nonagenarian replied, “I don’t give a fuck. I’m 90 years old for Christ’s sake.”

There's No Business Like Monkey Business

When pet store owner Abbie McClain discovered Girl Scout cookie money, a laptop, and an exotic “bushbaby” monkey named Gooey went missing from her Oregon shop, she assumed a thief had broken in and stolen the goods.

But the truth, authorities say, was worse. According to police, McClain’s husband Nathan used the stolen money to fund a session with a sex worker, and offered the woman the exotic animal as a tip.

"LA City Council Considers Sending ‘Dear John’ Letters To Homes Of Men Who Solicit Prostitutes"

Los Angeles is considering sending “Dear John” letters to the homes of men who solicit prostitutes hoping the mail will be opened by mothers, girlfriends or wives.

Privacy advocates are slamming the idea. The plan would use automated license plate readers to generate the letters, which would be aimed at shaming “Johns,” the Los Angeles DailyNews reported.

The city council voted Wednesday to ask the City Attorney’s office to examine sending so-called “John Letters,” the Daily News reported.

Council member Nury Martinez, who represents a San Fernando Valley district that has a thriving street prostitution problem, introduced the plan.

Martinez has said many of the prostitutes are children, or women being exploited.

In a statement issued by her office Wednesday, Martinez said, “If you aren’t soliciting, you have no reason to worry about finding one of these letters in your mailbox. But if you are, these letters will discourage you from returning. Soliciting for sex in our neighborhoods is not OK.”

"Since we started we can eat what we want, buy the clothes we want"

"But look, why feel bad? We're not here because we like it, but it's a profession and we're not going to be grumpy and be treating people badly. If we're there working, we'll be smiling. In any profession you need to be like that..."

To reach the zonas, clients and workers alike must pass by the bouncer sitting on a bar stool on the side of the street, go through a metal detector and ascend flights of stairs; what awaits is a like a cross between a run-down prison and a hostel even the earthiest backpacker would turn away from. The floors are bare concrete, while the corridor extends past door after door into cell-like rooms where women lie. There, a girl just out of her teens confirms it's safe before noting: "It's rare but sometimes men rape."

AP: Hawaii lawmakers agree to end police sex loophole

Hawaii lawmakers in both chambers agree that legal permission for police to have sex with prostitutes should end.

Rep. Karl Rhoads, the Democratic chairman of that committee, later explained that he amended the bill to allow the exemption because of the police testimony.

But Rhoads said Thursday that he now wants to return to the bill's original language regarding the exemption. It would bar police from engaging in sex or sadomasochistic acts with prostitutes.

I have no comment.

"Canadian Court Strikes Down Anti-Prostitution Laws"

"Canada's highest court struck down the country's anti-prostitution laws Friday, a victory for sex workers who had argued that a ban on brothels and other measures made their profession more dangerous. The ruling drew criticism from the conservative government and religious leaders."

"The court, ruling in a case brought by three women in the sex trade, struck down all three of Canada's prostitution-related laws: bans on keeping a brothel, making a living from prostitution, and street soliciting. The ruling won't take effect immediately, however, because the court gave Parliament a year to respond with new legislation, and said the existing laws would remain in place until then."
