FL DA is stuck on getting him to admit his guilt (either by admitting it and sealing the evidence in exchange for the plea; or having the case go to court, and since FL has some of the more robust public records laws in the nation, that means the video WILL come out).

Kraft may have a play however to get off....this case. 13 others along with him are also going the same route, which I get into detail below.

FL cops, despite their "trafficking" claims to the media, there hasn't actually been any trafficking charges levied to anyone within Jupiter's county....and FL cops tend to be over zealous about prosecuting these type of sex crimes historically (they prosecute sex crime like the North does gun crime):

In the trafficking sting in Martin County, meanwhile, there were no individuals charged with human trafficking, only with prostitution. The owner of Orchids of Asia, Hua Zhang, was charged with deriving support from the proceeds of prostitution, soliciting another to commit prostitution, renting space to be used for prostitution, and maintaining a house of prostitution. The vast majority of the arrests in both counties were of men soliciting prostitutes. On CNN, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said police are trying to figure out why women would “go and allow themselves to be trafficked.”

While it has only been a few days since the arrests were announced and further charges are possible, the stings were months in the making, so law enforcement agencies simply may not have enough evidence for trafficking charges. Sex-worker-rights advocates say it is very common for police to overstate their findings in trafficking stings. “Our legislators and law enforcement have been led to believe that sex trafficking is huge in Florida, but studies have shown that because sex trafficking and sex work is being conflated all the time,” said Alex Andrews, a sex worker in the Orlando area and an advocate with the Sex Workers Outreach Project.
While the overall sting is a big hit to the mega churches and the people who go to them to contribute to the sheriff's political campaigns (sheriffs run for office in FL), there's a bigger public distinction b/t consensual adults negotiating getting a beanie after a tug at a whore den......and someone who was forced to give said beanie, against their will.

This also allows the Kraft PR team to spin it differently as well; one is seen as gross and pretty funny (consensual prostitution) while the other is seen as inhumane and injust (taking advantage of an individual doing something against their will). And if it's ultimately just solicitation that Kraft is fighting, that would probably be way easier to beat (pun intended) than being asked to accept the plea or be forced into being a part of the larger investigation (trafficking) that Florida cops, quite frankly, seem to be over the top with here.
