Unless they can prove that Kraft was involved in the trafficking ring or knew that the girls were there against their will (doubtful), he'll just be the butt of a few jokes, maybe a brief suspension, hefty fines and have it brought up every once in a while. 

Glad to see that the bigger issue, the trafficking, is getting cracked down on. 

Of course Kraft won't be charged with trafficking if he wasn't directly involved in doing so.  But there is that bigger issue.  Places like he was busted at are often involved in human trafficking.  Some time ago, I think it was on Dateline or one of those shows, they did an investigation into such places.  The women working there were brought over and had their passports taken by the people running it. They thought they were coming to America to be given honest jobs.  Instead they lived crammed into shitty rooms with just the basic amenities at best.  They were sex slaves with no way out.   So the people that go to those establishments and pay for the services are supporting it.

It's much like people that buy illegal drugs.  Many think, "No big deal.  It's just a little weed or coke. It doesn't hurt anyone. I'm just having a bit of fun."  But the money spent on those drugs supports illegal operations, gangs, and drug cartels that have been responsible for the death and suffering of countless people. 

When a person decides to go to one of these places, for a quick "handy" or whatever because they think it is just no big deal, they are complicit because they are helping to finance human trafficking.

If indeed guilty, yes I believe in innocent until proven, I bet Kraft will make an apology and give some donation toward an organization that fights human trafficking and that will be it with no real concern for the issue. He's a billionaire and will get all the privileges that kind of money affords him. If he did solicit I am willing to bet it wasn't his first time, just the first time he got caught.
