I just dont understand why he would go to a cheap sleazy massage spa?
He wouldve had other options with his wealth, and have no risk.
Also it seems there are more high profile people that are going to be arrested.

I don't get it either.

(82,849 posts)It's about power. It's about dominating someone weaker. It's about degrading someone. It's about "Do you know who I am" power projection. If it was all legalized and regulated tomorrow, this sort of trafficking would still go on, because some people - men, mostly - have an irreducible drive to humiliate others.

(1,803 posts)Its dubious at best to think he was aware that the masseuses had been trafficked. Who knows what was is his head if he in fact was patronizing spa and is proven guilty. People do really stupid things all the time.

(16,515 posts)The risk is the point. Because yes, he could have had any of those women escorted to his hotel room, for a price, he didn't. He may have like the place because he could pay with cash.
He also can't get away with saying he really wanted a massage, as I am certain he stays at hotels with masseuses on staff to accommodate those needs. Making it unnecessary to go to a strip mall.
Apparently there is anouther well known client, whose name has not been released. My guess is this place was referred to him. His visits were planned. A man his age is most likely on Viagra or something.
