The owner of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, is being criminally charged with soliciting prostitution at a spa in Florida, where surveillance video showed him receiving sexual services, police there revealed Friday.
Kraft, 77, is one of more than two dozen people being charged in a police sting in Florida as part of a probe of human trafficking, authorities said.
“He is one of the individuals. That would be Mr. Robert Kraft,” a top police official said at a press conference, where cops also said they had video evidence.
“He is being charged with the same offense as the others, and that is soliciting another to commit prostitution,” the official said. “We’re as equally stunned as anyone else.
Kraft was not in custody, but an arrest warrant is being issued for him.
“There was two incidences,” an official in Jupiter, Fla., said.
Police said evidence in the cases came from witnesses and also from body cameras worn by officer.
Cops did not say when Kraft visited the spa.
