There is a lot of hype for want to be political climbers twisting the facts about human trafficking . These raids are no doubt influenced by the recent report by polarisproject . Out of all the arrest the best they could do was say “ We might have two human trafficking victims “ . The only victims are the working girls being used by the politicians wanting a trophy to better their future aspirations . I’m sure more of raids will come until they realize that human trafficking story they are trying to sell has no real truth in the majority of the shops .

In Florida solicitation is a misdemeanor, and those charged are given the opportunity to go into diversion programs. They do the same thing for offenses such as shoplifting. The end result is the accused does community service and takes a course on the negative effects of human trafficking. By putting his name out there he is now compelled to fight it. Maybe they think they can leverage him in a settlement, but personally I think he would have been more willing to scratch a million dollar check to women's shelters if they had approached his counsel discreetly. In the end that would have done more good than the publicity, but these people never see it that way.
The most interesting part to me is the report that Kraft isn't the biggest name. The two possibilities that come to mind are a pro golfer with a history of woman problems, and, given that this investigation goes back more than two years, a sitting politician with a prominent nearby resort.
