Everything to know about the Florida spa at the center of the Robert
Kraft sex scandal
Patriots owner
Robert Kraft was charged Friday with two counts of soliciting prostitution.
He was allegedly a customer at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida,
which is about 20 miles from Palm Beach and 30 minutes from Donald Trump's
Mar-a-Lago club.
Jupiter police said Kraft paid for sexual services at the spa and that there is
video evidence of Kraft in both instances. Kraft has denied any illegal
activity.
So far, 173 people have been charged with crimes in the bust.
Police said women lived in the parlors and were
coerced into having sex for money.

How the sex trafficking ring allegedly solicited
by Robert Kraft worked, according to investigators
The
charges against Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, on Friday
were part of a larger takedown operation against a sex trafficking ring that
spanned at least 10 spa and massage parlors in Florida.
Many of the victims came from China on temporary work visas,
according to David Currey, the chief of the Vero Beach Police Department,
which was involved in the operation. At a press conference, he said that they
believed they'd receive a legitimate job in US.
"Some of them are trying to make a better life for themselves," he said. "These
people truly are stuck."
In November, police requested that the Florida Department of Health conduct a
routine inspection after they surveilled the spa and saw postings about illicit
sexual activity there on Rubmaps.com, a forum where people post about "erotic
massage parlors."

February 22:
Kraft—whose spokesperson “categorically” denied that he “engaged in
any illegal activity”—goes way back with Trump, frequently paying visits to
Mar-a-Lago, which is
conveniently located just 22 miles from the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. Still,
you might expect President
Law and Order to come down pretty hard on his buddy boy, considering he’s
previously
encouraged police to rough people up during arrests, questioned the need
for due process, and vocally
called for five teenagers to be executed before they went to trial for a
crime it turned out they did not commit. Except, of course, he’s only gung-ho
about prosecuting people to the fullest extent of the law when said people are
immigrants, minorities, women, or some other group with whom he can’t relate.
When it comes to fellow septuagenarian billionaires and/or white people who’ve
pledged their loyalty to him, it’s all
innocent until proven guilty

March 8:
The founder of a Florida day spa where New England Patriots owner
Robert Kraft was
busted for allegedly soliciting prostitution watched this year's Super
Bowl at a party hosted by President Donald Trump.
Li Yang, 45, snapped a selfie photo with Trump from the Super Bowl watch party,
held at the president's West Palm Beach country club,
the Miami Herald reported Friday.
Trump, a longtime friend of Kraft and Patriots admirer, is seen leaning back in
his chair and smiling with Yang and another woman who are seated at a table
behind the president in the blurry photo. They watched
New England beat the Los Angeles Rams for the franchise's sixth
championship.
Yang, an entrepreneur from China who goes by Cindy, opened a chain of South
Florida day spas more than a decade ago that included Orchids of Asia Day Spa in
Jupiter, Florida, which is now connected to a sex trafficking ring tied to
Kraft's case.

Were the Trumps Pictured With the Owner of a Massage Parlor Where
Robert Kraft Was Arrested?
Be skeptical of memes because they are often inaccurate.
In early-to-mid-March 2019, photographs of President Donald Trump and members of
his family posing with Li Yang, a political donor and spa entrepreneur,
circulated on social media. The images were used to
link the Trumps with a sting operation in Florida.
Yang, who posted a widely seen selfie taken
at Trump’s 2019 Super Bowl party to her Facebook account, once owned what is now
the Orchids of Asia massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. New England Patriots
owner Robert Kraft was one of 25 men arrested in February 2019, accused of
soliciting sex there in a sweeping, human-trafficking
sting that targeted that site and others.
Kraft, a self-described
friend of Trump, faces two counts of misdemeanor solicitation, to which he
has pleaded
not guilty.
Yang no longer owns the establishment in which police say Kraft was caught on
camera paying for sex. She has not been charged with a crime.

Trump reportedly still wants Robert Kraft at the
Patriots White House Super Bowl party despite Florida massage-parlor
prostitution scandal
According to a senior White House official, Trump and Kraft have spoken since
Kraft
was charged with soliciting prostitutes in late February,
Politico report, and the president wants him to be at the reception this
spring regardless.
The 77-year-old CEO was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitutes on
February 22, after
a months-long investigation by Florida police into massage parlors allegedly
tied to human trafficking.
Trump
has said the charges against his old friend are "very sad."
"I was very surprised to see it. He has proclaimed his innocence totally, and,
uh, but I'm very surprised to see it," Trump said.
Kraft attended Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's wedding in 2009, and has visited
the Mar-a-Lago resort as a guest of Trump.
