Patriots Owner Bob Kraft Charged With Soliciting Prostitution

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, one of the most powerful men in American football, was charged today on two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection to a recent law enforcement bust on massage parlors in Florida that, according to law enforcement, were used for prostitution and human trafficking. The news comes a few weeks after the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl and days after Kraft appeared at the NBA All-Star game.

In a press conference Friday morning, Jupiter Police chief Daniel Kerr said Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, and that a warrant for his arrest is with the state’s attorney’s office. Kerr said there is video evidence of Kraft involved in sex acts in a massage parlor on two occasions. Twenty-five people total were charged with soliciting prostitution at the Orchids of Asia Spa in Jupiter.

According to TCPalm.com, the investigation shut down spas that ran from Palm Beach County to Orange County. Of those 10, half were in Indian River County. Speaking about the cases out of Indian River, police said that the women lived at the spas and worked at prostitutes. From TCPalm’s report:

[Vero Beach police chief David] Currey said many came from China on temporary work visas, indebted to the the brokers who helped them reach America, but believing legitimate jobs awaited them.

“Some of them are trying to make a better life for themselves,” he said. “These people truly are stuck.”

They were shamed, intimidated and taught not to speak to law enforcement or immigration officials.

Others answered what they thought were legitimate ads for masseuse jobs, but soon were pressured into doing more.
Another four spas, according to a separate TCPalm report, were in Martin County. A fifth case was in the town of Jupiter. A 16-page probable cause affidavit in the Jupiter case said that as part the investigation officers would do traffic stops on vehicles when they left the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. The affidavit states that officers were told multiple times by the drivers that, inside the spa, a woman had stimulated their penis until climax.

The success and prominence of the Patriots have made Kraft one of the most powerful people in the sport, and he’s taken on a significant role in the league’s labor negotiations. And despite 2015—when Kraft wielded his weight in opposition of NFL’s league leadership after Tom Brady and a couple staffers were accused of deflating game balls, leading to the team being docked a pair of draft picks and fined—he has more often than not given key vocal support to the league’s alternately boring and embarrassing commissioner Roger Goodall.

Let the halls of power crumble. The country is being run by perverted sociopaths and sycophants.

Finally!... cfrs usually beats me to the punch.

First time I'll be watching ESPN in months. It'll be interesting to see how they defend their favorite owner.

Of course I don't think sex work should be ever be a crime and don't care about Kraft's sexual life, other than I'm happy that he has one, if I had to care.

He now has seven rings.

One caveat, it appears these women were/may have been trafficked and not necessarily willing participants. A lot of times, women in the sex trade are trafficked.

The largest, widespread travesty no one is talking about.

Shame. I was expecting him be going to a high class place. Well, I take back my happiness that he got his rocks off, after reading details about the Spa.

I completely agree with you. The real horror here is if this place is part of a human trafficking ring or if these girls are doing this against their will.. That's the tragedy... Robert Kraft paying a few shekels to a willing, of-age, girl for some sex acts is a non-issue.

That said, Kraft stock plummeted yesterday when this hit the news, down like 20+/-%, total loss of $15 billion.... so if you are interested in buying such things, now is probably a good time to look into it. I doubt the sales of ketchup and mac and cheese is going to plummet.

This kind of stuff reminds me of a joke I heard many years ago:

This guy is out on the town, and he meets this hooker. She's pretty good looking, and he's lonely, so off they go.

The next morning, he gets up and goes to the bathroom .... and FIRE shoots out. He makes an appointment with his doctor immediately, and the doctor tells him that he does have an STD, and he takes the proverbial huge shot in the butt cheek.

That evening, he goes back out, and finds the same hooker. He yells at her "You gave me an STD!

The hooker looks at him and calmly responds, "Honey, I didn't give you anything. You bought it."

You do realize Robert Kraft is paper and packaging money, not Mac and cheese money, right?

Same name. Different Kraft.

Prostitution, Yikes..

Announcer: Bob Kraft, your team just won the Superbowl, where are you going now?

Bob Kraft: to get laid

Even better advice. Hahahaa

No one take this advice. The real Kraft company is under SEC probe and posted bad Q1 numbers.

Horrible day for all people named Kraft.

I think it's more about the human trafficking side of it.

Fellate-Gate !

Kraft foods announced a huge $15 billion quarterly loss and they're also being investigated by the SEC. That's what contributed to their huge stock loss.

Just a bad day for Krafts in general I guess.

Apparently none of them are very krafty.

I do remember reading that but it was a while ago.. forgot and associated him with the food people.. my bad.

the other Kraft stock plummeted from an announced SEC probe.. Lots of Krafts involved in probing these days.

The flip side is if you’ve got some money to gamble, or are willing to put into a longer game, buy some Kraft/Heinz’s stock. It’s on sale. Over 50%f off their high price. Decent dividend yield of 4.83%... Yes they’re in some current trouble but the likelyhood of them going full belly up is small. They’ll pay some fines. A few heads will roll. And catsup/mustard/condiment sales will continue unscathed. As long as there’s kids there’ll always be Kraft Mac and Cheese.
Just sayin.

Don't try to catch a falling knife.

Whats that got to with Kraft ...u think he knew that ... ...

The human trafficking is what this should be about ... but thats not the HEADLINE or even mentioned in 1 of the 2 articles posted on here and its first mentioned in what paragraph? ... and Chinese girls coming here without jobs and taking advantage of our work visa laws ... that pails in comparision to the human trafficking but is way more important than a widowed old man going to get a massage with a happy ending ...

Question is Pit .. WITHOUT KRAFT we dont ever hear about this ... NOT A WORD ...

Now if they used Kraft to bring human trafficking to the forefront ... i’m Fine with it ... but U know damm well that was not the intent or what will happen ... this is about trying to smear Kraft’s reputation and getting the ALL MIGHTY CLICKS ...

ITS WHY THE PRESS SUCKS TODAY and why there numbers as far as trust are in he toilet!!!

I understand the sentiment but do you really think Kraft is going to go belly up?
If you’re looking for day trading style quick cash turn around I’d certainly stay clear. If you have long play money, why not?

FYI... I’m staying clear. GE and NVIDIA have burned me in the past couple years. Nothing substantial at all but it still sucks to see the red in my otherwise in the black portfolio.

Kraft is a huge name. I’m going to guess it’s Tiger.

I think when you get caught up in a human trafficking ring you get what you asked for. When you spend money that supports human trafficking, you are supporting that activity with your money. As far as I know, any way you slice it, it was a criminal activity. You suffer the same consequences that people who smoked weed did for decades. You may advocate for a change in the laws, but as it stands that really doesn't change anything.

And in case you missed it, when something like this ends up being connected to human trafficking, your name is going to be put out there. I know, Kraft is the victim here.

Sometimes you make NO SENSE ...

U think he supports human trafficking and he KNEW THATS WHAT HE WAS DOING? ....

Gimme a break Pit .. thats just MORONIC ....

If u believe that’s what happenend here ... u oughta go get a job in journalism today .... you’d fit in perfectly ...

NO WAY HE KNEW IT WAS A HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING ....

What do u think ... they had signs out front ... WAKE UP BRO ...

No way did Jerry Sandusky know it was little kids he was molesting! NO WAY!!

Only thing he did stupid was visit a SPA.. With his money he could fly in a PRO with his Learjet. Dont make sense..

It's not about "if he knew". It's about the results of his actions. His money went directly to a human trafficking ring. Your argument seems to be that since he didn't know he shouldn't be held accountable.

Trump?

No, I don't think the stock will go to 0, just suggesting perhaps you wait for it to find the bottom. Looks like it's still falling to me., and has been on a downtrend for two years. Ultimately it could be a very solid investment, but since the enemy is time, you don't want to get in too soon. I would look for at least a double bottom, and the beginnings of an uptrend. JMHO

Yup, sociopaths and sycophants.

I'll take "How does the Patriots dynasty end" for 800, Alex.

. Ding....Ding......Ding..... What an idiot. He must believe what ESPN is feeding us. He better hope all the girls were of age.

j/c...

Feel for the guy/gal that had to watch the video(s). Yikes.
