Prosecutors in Florida have agreed to drop charges against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft if he admits he would have been found guilty of soliciting a prostitute at trial.
Kraft was charged by Florida law enforcement for soliciting prostitution following a monthlong human trafficking investigation, but the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that a deal to defer prosecution has been proposed. The deal would also have Kraft complete 100 hours of community service, pay court costs, and undergo screening for sexually transmitted diseases.
It wasn’t clear Tuesday if Kraft would accept the agreement. His spokesman has denied that Kraft did anything illegal.
Kraft allegedly solicited sex inside a massage parlor in Jupiter, Fla. The parlor was raided by police along with other spas in the area. The story gained even more attention when the former owner of the parlor involved in the raid was seen in pictures with President Trump at his Super Bowl party in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further,” spokesman Aaron Salkin said after Kraft’s arrest.
