Not saying the masseuse is Christy Brinkley like (haven't seen a pic of her), but 57 by itself doesn't need to be an auto pass :)

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors cannot use secretly recorded video allegedly showing New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft engaging in massage parlor sex, a judge ruled Monday, striking a serious blow to their case against him and others charged with soliciting prostitutes at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa.
In his 10-page ruling, Judge Leonard Hanser wrote that Jupiter police detectives and the judge who issued the search warrant allowing the secret installation of cameras at the spa did not do enough to minimize the invasion of privacy of customers who only received legal massages. Hanser also ruled that detectives cannot testify about what they saw on the video or when they stopped Kraft.
If upheld on appeal, Hanser's ruling could lead to prosecutors dropping the second-degree misdemeanor cases against Kraft and other men charged with paying for sex at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. Kraft, 77, has pleaded not guilty but issued a public apology.
"The fact that some totally innocent women and men had their entire lawful time spent in a massage room fully recorded and viewed intermittently by a detective-monitor is unacceptable," Hanser wrote. He said the judge should have given the officers explicit instruction for how to monitor the video.
Kraft's attorneys argued during a recent hearing aimed at throwing out the recordings that Florida law allowing audio wiretaps says they can only be used for serious felonies such as murder or kidnapping, not lesser offenses such as prostitution. They argued video, which is not specifically covered under Florida law, should have a higher threshold.
Hanser agreed, writing "video surveillance is even more invasive of privacy, just as a strip search is more invasive than a pat down search."

It’s sick and disgusting that members of this forum not only support prostitution but vocally defend it on a conservative, pro-family, pro-God forum.
The slouching toward Sodom started in our culture many decades ago, before any of us were even born. The right seems to be moving that direction a little slower or less openly, but it is still moving the same direction as the left—straight for Hell.
This nation was once a Christian nation that spread the Gospel to the whole world, translating the Bible into many languages. Today we export abortion, “gay marriage,” and the adoption of children by homosexuals. Our society is collapsing under the weight of moral filth, but some even on this forum will defend these things all the way to entry point of the mouth of Hades.
If this nation does not repent, God will also not spare it. it will END.
If so, God will spare a remnant of this nation that fears Him and will raise them up as a new nation. It will be smaller, and probably poorer and weaker at first. but it will have God’s blessing. And this once great Nation will perish from the earth.
Good
Who cares if an old man buys a Happy Ending
Haven't ever been to a "massage parlor" have you? Here's a few hints.
1) Drink heavily.
2) Take 2 bags. One for her and one for you in case hers comes off.(Double bagging for paper or plastic is recommended.)
Lamenting that Kraft is being persecuted doesn’t make us whoremongerers
This nation has been saved time and again btw by young men who availed themselves to the warm tender temporary physical love of a woman
Might have been their last
Don’t be too hard on us guys
We’re wired for women
I am not in favor of prostitution, nor of legalized prostitution, but I don’t want the government snooping around with cameras either.
I won’t ever be availing myself of a prostitute, but the government sure might be prying into my life where it shouldn’t.
No, I think most of them are opposed to BoR violations. If you could prevent every act of prostitution from occurring from now until forever, it wouldn’t justify a single civil rights violation.
Pins and needles...
When this story first hit the media, I was watching a Miami local station. Within about fifteen seconds the kid reporting the incident threw in “Kraft is a good friend of Donald Trump....”
Cracked me up. So for this reason I am pleased to see Kraft prevail.
Was she the owner or the actual masseuse?
As a Christian, I have to stop you from spoouting anymore of you holier than thou drivel. Just stop. You dont baptize people by holding their heads underwater until they agree with your veiw of the Bible. . Love the sinner, hate the sin. Pray for them. God chose you and he choses who he wants for himself. Bashing everyone else is not whats needed here.
Boston Globe is very disappointed! They were pushing for a release though later backed off when it was revealed human trafficking charges wouldn’t happen, I believe.
Globe owned by John Henry, owner of Boston Red Sox and in the past both organizations (Sox, Patriots) shared in their championships.This year however, no Bob Kraft at Red Sox home opener/World Series ceremony.Of course Kraft was facing the charges so...(and Globe was pushing for video release!)
Red Sox and Pats both won championships last year and NHL Bruins are in playoff ‘final 4’..but Celtics were squashed by Milw. in their playoff series.
Kudos! So many people forget midwives.
You are right to rebuke supporters of prostitution.
But I don’t think there are any on this thread.
Just some Freepers praising the female body, maybe coupled with some sugar-coated blindness about the degrading nastiness of that kind of massage parlor.
Kraft’s attorneys argued during a recent hearing aimed at throwing out the recordings that Florida law allowing audio wiretaps says they can only be used for serious felonies such as murder or kidnapping, not lesser offenses such as prostitution. They argued video, which is not specifically covered under Florida law, should have a higher threshold.
...
Initially, it was reported that this case involved human trafficking. That turned out to be false.
There was a lot here that was heavy handed. Most articles focus on the video. There is also the traffic stop. No probable cause. Kraft wasn’t driving. They just pulled the car over and ask Kraft for his ID.
That’s right.
This story has a happy ending.
The police dept came out later and said there was no evidence of human trafficking. Seems all the ladies there wanted to be there. Probably already working at another massage parlor down the street.
