Media sources have feasted on the scandal sparked by New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft’s trips to a “massage parlor” in Jupiter, Fla., that allegedly served as a front for illegal prostitution and human trafficking.

What is overlooked, amid the bad Deflategate jokes and scandal-driven schadenfreude, is a very real problem that shouldn’t be so cavalierly considered. Human trafficking must be the focus, not the alleged sexual proclivities of a 77-year-old widower. It is a battle that public companies, legislators, and regulators have been fighting for years with varying degrees of success.
