Asian Massage Parlors here in Florida are everywhere, and it's no secret that most of them engage in some sort of illegal sexual activity. The police raids them from time to time, but for the most part the charges are either plain prostitution and operating a health establishment without a license. Most Johns aren't even charged. How many of these places engage in human trafficking? Don't know, but I am willing to guess that quite a few.
The fact that the Vero Beach (or Jupiter, not sure) police jumped on this case the way they did and are looking for hundreds of people to arrest them tells me that something very nefarious was going on over there. Also, the fact that two prominent individuals have been identified so far, tells me that something is just very rotten.
So, stay tuned...

Algernon Moncrieff
(5,790 posts)He's an older guy of a certain age who was paying for sex in what he thought was relative safety. For the most part, the cops look the other way - but not always.
He was unlucky - like getting pulled over at a drunk driving checkpoint or getting caught in a speed trap.

This has been going on for years. A LOT of powerful men. Household names.
This is going to be explosive when it all leaks out.
Algernon Moncrieff
(5,790 posts)So I'm not seeing an explosion unless Kraft is doing the trafficking.

(14,961 posts)Spinner shark at Sebastian inlet, it's like 20 miles north of here. There are always celebrities coming here to shop/eat on our beaches. It is very low key here/upscale here. Think the Hamptons in Florida, not the entire town. I have lived here my whole life and I am far from rich.

(14,961 posts)I have snorkled in the cove there, my whole life. I love the inlet. My best friend lived across from the inlet for years, tons of dolphins and manatees (my passion) in that area.
