Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Charged with Solicitation in Florida

Posted By Stepniak & Park || 23-Mar-2019

In late February, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution after visiting the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Juniper, FL on two occasions. The charges come after months of investigation into a sex trafficking ring centered around several day spas and massage parlors within the state suspected of providing prostitution services.

Kraft visited the Orchids of Asia Day Spa on Saturday, January 19, and spends approximately 40 minutes and pays for a sexual act, according to surveillance camera footage obtained by Juniper Police Department. The following day—which is the day of the 2019 AFC Championship Playoff Game between the Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs—Kraft returns to the spa for 14 minutes and paid for another sexual act that was filmed.

According to Florida law, solicitation is considered a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum one-year jail sentence, a fine not exceeding $5,000, and mandatory 100 hours of community service, and take education courses on the adverse effects of human trafficking and prostitution.

So far, as many as 200 individuals have been charged and around $2 million worth of assets have been seized. However, sex trafficking cases are quite complex due to the fact sometimes suspects and victims are typically one and the same.

On March 18, the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s office offered Kraft and 24 other individuals a diversion deal. If the men plead guilty and meet specific conditions, the division deal would seal the evidence and expunge their cases. However, sources close to Kraft believe he will not plead guilty.

A couple of days later, however, Kraft’s lawyers filed a motion to suppress the video evidence in the case. The reason is to ensure the surveillance video will not be released if the Patriots owner doesn’t reach a plea deal. His legal team questions how law enforcement obtained probable cause to initially collect the evidence.
