Prosecutors drop charges against Patriots owner Robert Kraft after cops bungled sex sting [View all]
Source: SOUTH FLORIDA SUN SENTINEL
Florida prosecutors on Thursday dropped all criminal charges against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, ending a flawed case that began with a police prostitution sting using secret video cameras at a Palm Beach County massage parlor early last year.
State Attorney Dave Aronberg is scheduled to explain the decision during a 2:30 p.m. news briefing.
Last month, a state appellate court sided with Kraft’s arguments that Jupiter police unlawfully recorded the part-time Palm Beach resident with his clothes off at Orchids of Asia Day Spa on Jan. 19, 2019, and Jan. 20, 2019.
In charging Kraft, prosecutors said he paid in cash and then got naked for sex acts. The videotaping at the business lasted for five days, leading to the solicitation of prostitution charges against Kraft, 79, and 24 other men.
