Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with solicitation of prostitution
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is being charged with misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution after police said Friday that he was twice videotaped paying for and receiving sex at an illicit massage parlor.

Police in Jupiter, Florida, told reporters Friday that the 77-year-old Kraft hasn't been arrested. A warrant will be issued and his attorneys will be notified.

The charge comes amid a widespread crackdown on sex trafficking in the area surrounding Palm Beach County. About 200 arrest warrants have been issued in recent days and more are expected. Police said they planted undercover cameras in targeted massage parlors and videotaped the interactions between men and the female employees.

TMZ seems to come up with these. They got the Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt vids.

From Twitter:

Adam Schefter just said on SportsCenter that a source told him Kraft is "not the biggest name" caught up in this sting.

Nobody gives a shit about the size of his name.

Another billionaire, equity firm owner John Childs, has also been charged:

You would think that men like Kraft and Childs would be able to arrange female companionship in a more discreet manner than by walking into a massage parlor.

I posted on a FB thread about this. "I can't believe Robert Kraft was flying coach (using an airline metaphor)."

I have not lived a sheltered life, but I never heard the term "rub and tug" until the Kraft story started going around on Twitter.

Now it's practically trending.

That's odd. Seems like most of the Twitter references I found seem to mention Donald Trump as well.

Apparently Kraft visited this establishment on the morning of the AFC championship game against Kansas City, before flying out to KC. He also paid a visit the day before that.

Giving new meaning to the word, "quickie."

First thing I thought after reading this was who gets driven around in a four-year-old Bentley?

So the owner of the Patriots pays good money to get his balls properly inflated, and gets busted for his efforts. Gee, they just can't win...

Yes, because she was the victim of sex trafficking.

This article gives some of the details. Many of the women are immigrants who were lured to the US under false pretenses, speak little or no English, and are practically being held as prisoners at these massage parlors.

Kraft Apologizes
“I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard,” Kraft said in a written statement.

Kraft, 77, said he had wanted to speak out for weeks, but he did not in deference to the judicial process. Kraft and more than a dozen other men face charges in the Orchids of Asia Day Spa sex-for-pay case. Kraft faces two misdemeanor charges, and he and other first-time offenders have been offered a plea deal.

“Throughout my life I’ve tried to do the right thing,” Kraft said. “The last thing I would ever want to do was to disrespect another human being. I have extraordinary respect for women. My morals and my soul were shaped by the most wonderful woman, the love of my life, who I was blessed to have as my partner for 50 years.”

And he shows them that respect by giving them a picture of Andrew Jackson or Ulysses S. Grant every time he feels the need.
