I haven't seen him in over 20 years. I wonder if it's the same person.

JUPITER, Fla. - Hundreds of people have been arrested in South Florida and the Treasure Coast in connection with a massive human trafficking and prostitution sting related to massage parlors, authorities confirmed.

According to WPTV, about 200 people face charges of soliciting prostitution in Indian River County alone.
...
About 100 people are expected to be charged in Martin County in connection with the investigation.

WPBF reported that the investigation started last July after the health department notified local law enforcement agencies about poor working conditions at the businesses.

Five massage parlors were raided Tuesday in Jupiter and Hobe Sound as part of the investigation.

They are working there way through it, but a lot of people haven't been charged yet.

Apparently they put hidden cameras in some of the rooms. Then they had to link the people in those rooms with their names and addresses, get a prosecutor to charge them, and then they can serve them.

Considering how busy these places are supposed to be, it's probably taking time tracking down all the people.

They didn't arrest any on the spot. They wanted to keep the sting going. Which begs the question, how much harm did they do over the 8 months they let this run? How many woman were forced to work when they could have stopped it much sooner?

How much would they know about these women at the outset? When did they find out "woman were forced to work"?

Now if there was a John with small hands and a "Mario Cart" dick who was into Golden Showers ... Mueller may be seriously upstaged!

I'd settle for Don Jr or Eric ....

I doubt this is all the people they've arrested. This list is for maybe a few days or a week, but not 8+ months. Also Robert Kraft hasn't been arrested yet, they just issued a warrant. His lawyers will get him out of this, don't worry.

"Bring lawyers, guns and money, get me out of this!"
