Prosecutors in day spa prostitution sting turn up the heat on Patriots owner Robert Kraft

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida prosecutors just raised the stakes in New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s fight against prostitution charges.

It’s been nearly a year since the 78-year-old part-time Palm Beach resident paid for sex acts at a Jupiter massage parlor likened to a brothel.

But now lawyers for the state are arguing for the first time that Kraft — charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution — actually committed a felony.

The latest court filing from the attorney general’s office suggests Kraft could face a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison, if the state wins its appeal of a lower court order favoring the billionaire.

What has it been, nearly a year now? I guess if you have a good attorney you can drag things out.

"..if the state wins its appeal of a lower court order favoring the billionaire."

may be to their benefit to keep this in the news .. but WINNING would be a great deal more satisfactory.
