New England Patriots’ Owner Robert Kraft Charged In Prostitution Sting
Breaking News
New England Patriots and Revolution owner Robert Kraft is reportedly being charged with two counts of “soliciting another to commit prostitution” in Jupiter, Florida, according to police.
Kraft, 77, allegedly engaged in sexual activity at Orchids of Asia Spa twice and his involvement was documented on video, per Jupiter Police chief Daniel Kerr.
The powerful NFL owner was caught in a law enforcement bust on massage parlors police believe are connected to prostitution and human trafficking.
Including Kraft, a total of 25 people have been charged in the eight-month sting, which spanned ten spas from Palm Beach to Orange County.
A warrant has been issued for Kraft’s arrest.
This comes on the heels of the Patriots’ sixth Super Bowl title (Feb. 3) and Kraft’s appearance at the NBA All-Star game (Feb. 17).
“We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity,” a spokesperson for Kraft told TMZ. “Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
Kraft lost his wife of 48 years to ovarian cancer in 2011. Since 2012, he has been linked to 39-year-old actress Ricki Noel Lander, though he denies paternity of her child, who was born in the fall of 2017.
