New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft faces solicitation of prostitute charges in connection to a wide-ranging human trafficking investigation at a Florida massage parlor, police in Florida said at a news conference Friday morning.
Kraft, who was one of 25 people identified in the sting, faces two counts of soliciting another to commit prostitution for acts that allegedly occurred about one month ago, Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said.
Stacey James, a spokeswoman for Kraft, said in a statement, “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.” ABC News has reached out to the NFL for comment but has not immediately heard back.
The allegations against Kraft are misdemeanors, said Sharp. The NFL team owner is not a Florida resident “so there would be an arrest warrant issued,” Kerr said.
