I disagree with this part:

It was a statement that celebrities get extra special treatment from the ladies. ... a lot of women have for the fantasy of some high status male demonstrating his desire for her ...
When a celeb "grabs 'em by the pussy", it can very much be a matter of fear or despondency that a woman feels about bringing charges against someone much more rich and powerful than she is.  Some people have a reputation for going after anyone who sues them or files charges against them, not just 1x but 10x worse. That's a tactic made into a hard and fast rule by Roy Cohn and his proteges.

but there is a reason Kraft hired real lawyers and not you to defend him. As I predicted from the beginning his best defense was to have the illegal videos suppressed and that's exactly what happened today. The warrant was quashed and all "the fruit of the poisoned" tree was thrown out along with the governments case. Without the illegally obtained "sex tapes" I can't imagine the government having much of a case. As I said on the very first day, the other defendants were VERY lucky to have someone like Kraft as a co-defendant.

 
I think all of us can breathe a little easier knowing that Big Brother only has so much reach and that it's now VERY unlikely that anything like this could happen to any of us. Let's celebrate a victory for the good guys today, even if you do hate the Patriots. lol

 
Sorry I didn't include a link, but I am not sure about TER's current position about allowing them. It's very easy to Google however.

With FOSTA/SETSA, I imagine (though I have no personal knowledge) that every municipality with a hard on for Vice arrests is now proposing prostitution stings as anti-trafficking programs, rather than "nuisance reduction."  
.
Flying the "Trafficking Flag" gets them funding, local politician support (because what elected official is going to say no to anti-trafficking efforts?), and when the busts roll in, national media attention.  So a huge "atta boy" to all who got in on the right side of this LE effort.  
.
But as has been pointed out earlier, virtually NONE of the charges filed ever include actual trafficking violations. They all reduce to simple prostitution, whether the defendant fights, or pleads out.  
.
And the preliminary data about the adverse impact of FOSTA/SETSA on SW's is ringing true to the predictions. SW's are much less safe in the post legislation world.
