Kraft's attorneys allege that Jupiter police had enough evidence to close down Orchids of Asia long before they installed the video cameras. That evidence, they said, included statements by officers in a search warrant request that they had seen only men enter the spa, had seen online statements from customers that the spa's female employees accepted money for sex, had found evidence of sexual activity in the spa's trash bin and had gotten confessions from men leaving the spa.
But instead of closing the spa, the officers sent a health inspector to spy on the business, the lawyers said. They said that her report gave scant evidence of possible human trafficking, but the officers' request for a search warrant stated she had found ample evidence. The lawyers say investigators used that to persuade the judge that secret video was justified.

Weren't the police, by allowing the spa to remain open, partners in the operation of the spa? Is this not entrapment?
The true mystery is why a man that rich would go to a place like that for his jollies. Maybe it being a seedy place added to it for him. Weird.
Maybe he actually went looking for a massage?
Generally speaking, “entrapment” requires the police to OFFER illegal services. Surveillance of an illegal activity does not constitute entrapment. Allowing an illegal activity / operation to continue, likewise, is not entrapment.
“evidence of sexual activity in the spa’s trash bin.”
Kinky place to have sex,but why not.
I think they have a point. They can also, probably, make the case that the ‘workers’ were being abused there, as (illegal) immigrant sex-slaves - and by leaving it open when they could have shut it down, they unnecessarily contributed to the abuse.
If he went for a straight massage, the tape will exonerate him.
Not that I care either way how he gets off.
Sure. I mean that was evidently an advertised service of the establishment. Where else can you get a massage, if not at an actual massage parlor? It’s in the name and everything.
He should find the VERY best private investigator anywhere and pay him 10 million for solid irrefutable evidence that the cops, the police chief, the DA, or judge who signed the warrant is a closet homo, looks at kiddie porn, cheats on his wife, cheats on his taxes, is a cross dresser, doinks underage girls, etc.
Lets see how moral the morality police actually are.
That’s if I was a multi-billionaire widower in my late 70s.
But that’s just me.
Is it perfectly legal to surveil and record naked people secretly? It was legal in the former East Germany.
...or if he gets off!
Is it perfectly legal to surveil and record naked people secretly? It was legal in the former East Germany.
Yes, it’s entrapment. Dirty cops. “Free Robbie Now! Free Robbie now!”.
East Germany didn’t have a Bill of Rights. They did have a Bill of Wrongs however.
With some deliberate ambiguity, I have to say, getting to the "root" of the matter, that I hope he gets off, speaking as an aging NE Pats fan.
I don’t understand why the police would sit around for months recording this and yet the media claims these women were being trafficked. Those two don’t jive.
Kraft can get the FINEST in the world at ANY time all indiscreet and yet he gets his at a happy ending parlor in a strip mall in Florida LMAO! Being insanely rich doesn’t make one especially bright.
It’s Jupiter - hardly a seedy place. Orchid is in a v nice location next to one of the best resteraunts in the area.
The only remaining question is:
Were the Police getting paid in CASH or Services?
