New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and others may be formally charged with soliciting a prostitute as early as Monday afternoon, according to reports citing the Palm Beach County State’s Attorney’s Office.
The 77-year-old billionaire is among dozens of men accused of paying workers at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla., for sex acts.
Police said they have two video recordings showing Kraft inside the strip-mall massage parlor between Jan. 18 and Jan. 22 — shortly before his team won its sixth Super Bowl.
He faces two counts of soliciting a prostitute, a misdemeanor, which carries a maximum of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for a first offense. He could also face disciplinary action by the NFL.
Kraft, whose name was revealed as part of a six-month investigation into human trafficking and prostitution at area massage parlors, has not been arrested. His spokesperson denied he “engaged in any illegal activity.”
Police said Friday that once an arrest warrant is issued, a summons will be sent to Kraft ordering him to turn himself in, CBS Boston reported.
His attorneys will likely contact prosecutors and make arrangements for his surrender in Florida.
Kraft, whose net worth is an estimated $6.6 billion, according to Forbes, was spotted in Los Angeles on Friday night ahead of the Oscars.
