Wait, are you now accusing Kraft of engaging in trafficking?  I rather think they people who were trafficking these girls are facing considerably more than a misdemeanor charge.


It seems to me that your anger here is misplaced.  Maybe give the facts of this case another look and perhaps you'll feel better afterwards?

I think it's like illegal immigration. No one will push to punish the companies for hiring them (penalties etc). If they did then their wouldn't be jobs for them to work once they illegally get here, and that would lead to a significant cut to illegal immigration. But anytime that is brought up people make excuses to continue to allow companies (like Trumps) to hire them.

If you want to stop trafficking you can't just slap the hands of those who partake in the services of these girls. End the demand, end the issue.

Not knowing the girl was underage has never been a legit legal excuse for those accused.

Try sleeping with a 15 year old and claiming you didn't know she was underage, and let me know how that works for you (it won't. Unless you are a millionaire I guess)
