Mr. Kraft's Defense Summed Up in One Word: 'Consensual'

- A spa employee did perform sex acts on Robert Kraft earlier this year, a lawyer for the Patriots owned seemed to suggest on Thursday.

This was revealed in a new Motion to Suppress that was filed in Palm Beach County on Thursday and obtained by DailyMail.com.

Halfway through the motion, Kraft’s Florida attorney Jack Goldberger describes the incidents that were captured on hidden camera as consensual sex acts. …

Kraft’s lawyers state that the way police got footage of the defendants was unnecessary at best and unlawful at worst.

His lawyers also argue that the undercover operation is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment privacy rights of the spa guests who committed no crime but were still filmed by the police cameras.

‘At the time officers secured this warrant, they already had ample evidence that solicitation might be happening at the spa (based on supposed confessions from some men exiting the spa, identification of women whom police claim, to have identified as prostitutes, positive semen tests in items found in the spa’s trash), and an array of routine, reliable means for collecting more,’ states the motion filed on Thursday. …

The motion also takes issue with the fact that the initial claim by police that there was evidence of human trafficking has proven to be untrue.

‘Florida resorted to the most drastic, invasive, indiscriminate spying conceivable by law enforcement – taking continuous video recordings of private massages in which customers would be stripping naked as a matter of course – in order to prosecute what are at most (according to Florida’s own allegations) misdemeanor offenses.’

And that, my friends, is why Mr. Kraft’s legal team makes the big billable hours.

What was the first statement his spokesman released in the first hour this Tug Rule story broke? They said he did nothing illegal. No one denied he got a Rub & a Tug & a Hug. No one claimed it wasn’t captured on surveillance video. Hell, no one even shot down the extremely impressive police report that a 77-year-old man with a lot on his mind thanks to his football team hours away from kickoff in the conference championship game walking into a spa at 10:59 a.m. and walking out a satisfied customer at 11:13 a.m. All they were saying then is he didn’t break any laws.

As Rick Pitino has said, when you tell the truth, it becomes part of your past. When you tell a lie, it becomes part of your future. And you’d never catch him having sex in a place of business.

Now we have further clarification. He didn’t break the law because it’s not a crime to get a rub down that ends up with some oral and some hand stuff when the massage therapist is a willing participant. Not even a misdemeanor crime. This is still America. And if a 58-year-old wants to jack a gentleman off behind closed doors in her place of business and he has no objection, she has that right. And I’ll add: Otherwise, what did we fight the British for?

And of course they’ve got a great point about the videos themselves. Why did the investigators need to bother, when they’ve got all the jizz rags they needed? If some other guys want to admit they paid for handies, that’s their right. But why then do you need hidden cameras? What gives the government the right to take videos of naked people? How’d you like to find out that some Assistant DA has video of you in a changing room at The Gap because they were looking for shoplifters or you taking a dump in a public toilet because they had reports of drug deals in there? Or even just going into the Orchids of Asia to get a therapeutic back rub for that matter?

That is some real Orwellian, KGB, J. Edgar Hoover-type tactics. Spying on naked citizens with video cameras is Deep State stuff that should chill anyone with a respect for civil liberties. Putting embarrassing material into the hands of who knows how many anonymous bureaucrats to do whatever they will with it is a nightmare scenario. Leaving innocent people wide open to blackmail and extortion.

So keep fighting the good fight, Kraft legal team. If you can get him off (I know what I said) with all charges dropped, I will personally buy you all shirts. I said it before and I say it now: Free Mr. Kraft!
