Dennis Hof, who died last month, was a strip-club owner who ran multiple brothels. Kraft has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution following two January visits to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla. Robert Kraft issued an apology last month, his only public comments on the matter.
Rivka Carmi cited frustration and disappointment in the organization's decision to move forward with awarding Kraft the Genesis Prize. The Knesset's move follows the passage in December of a law criminalizing the hiring of sex workers. When the law goes into effect, a first-time offender will be fined NIS 2, for hiring or attempting to hire a prostitute and NIS 4, for further offenses. Some men are deterred by fines that Israel now imposes on those who hire prostitutes, but others struggle to overcome the addiction.
The advantage of the government-sponsored bill is that funding to enforce the law and rehabilitate sex workers has the government's support in advance. The arrests follow a months-long undercover investigation by the Israel Police, conducted in cooperation with Interpol and the Belorussian police forces. Underlying the bill is the assumption that administrative fines, not criminal liability, is the best way to fight the phenomenon of prostitution.
