Dolphin DundeeForum VeteranOPDon't have all the details yet but it doesn't look good.Looks like he visited the Jupiter "massage parlor" a couple times. Only a misdemeanor charge so far.
Not So FastForum VeteranIn his Tuesday news conference about a major human trafficking investigation , Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said about 100 men would be arrested.
When asked about prominent people or celebrities, Snyder said, “There will be a newsmaker in this one.”
That newsmaker is Robert Kraft, billionaire businessman and owner of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
On Friday, Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr confirmed to WPTV that Kraft is one of the men being charged with soliciting another to commit prostitution. He confirmed that there is video evidence of all of the men being charged.
When asked if he was surprised about the arrest of Kraft, Chief Kerr said, "We're as deeply stunned as anyone else."
A friend of President Trump and frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago, Kraft was in the area as recently as this past weekend, when he attended a fundraiser at The Breakers for the Everglades Foundation. Entertainment at the event included John Bon Jovi and Jimmy Buffet.
Kraft has dated actress Ricki Noel Lander, who is 39 years his junior, since 2012. He was previously married to Myra Hiatt from 1963 until her death in 2011.
According to the Palm Beach Daily News , Kraft owns a double apartment at 1. N. Breakers Row in Palm Beach, a rental building owned by The Breakers resort.
Kraft, 77, who in addition to the Patriots, owns the New England Revolution Major League Soccer team and other businesses, is number 79 on the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, with a net worth of $6.6 billion.
He and his family are active in philanthropic causes and have donated more than $100 million to a variety of organizations.
Kraft is the recipient of the 2019 Genesis Prize from Israel, widely known as the “Jewish Nobel” prize. It is granted each year to a person recognized as an inspiration to the next generation of Jews through professional achievement and commitment to Jewish values.
WPTV has reached out to the New England Patriots organization for a statement but has not yet received a response.

Yes the Pats are rivals, and often hated rivals, and this scenario is a potentially sordid affair for their owner, however, this forum still has rules, and know that everyone will abide by those rules, keep it clean, and show some class if commenting on this news.

FinatikStaffHe should be removed from the NFL. Maybe Brady was with him. Or Brady was the Asian girl.
Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.
HooliganSupporterI am aghast.
Vertical LimitForum VeteranKeep him in jail. Thank you south florida hoes for doing us the service. Brady, youre next! Go dolphins!

Look.....I personally have nothing against paying to get laid if that is what you need to do. I'm personally married and we wont even go there as far that goes. I just think it's funny that it is Kraft, and it is the Pats. Sucks for him getting caught like that. If the NFL is going to blacklist Kareem Hunt for shoving a girl, then one would think that Kraft might possibly be in line for some sort of punishment. Just sayin....But....for some reason, I bet this goes away.
Except that some of these girls were forced into the sex traffic trade. I may not have been consensual on their part. Not that Kraft forced them but his participation enables these scumbags to do this to women. Typically minority women.

Exactly right. If it was a high end prostitute that would be fine but this is probably the case as it is with most of these spa / massage places.
The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.
StrikingForum VeteranIt is much worse than that given the type of investigation that was taking place. Anything that hurts the Patriots is good news.

Definitely not what I was talking about with this. I simply said if you have to pay to play because you're old or ugly then that is your problem. I'm not condoning any other part of "prostitution." I apologize if there was a misunderstanding and I will definitely delete my previous post. My bad.
moosegutsForum VeteranGuess Brady isn't the only one who likes his balls deflated.

Fin-OForum VeteranPats will just use this for fuel and win another ring next year.
"The reason so many people misunderstand so many issues is not that these issues are so complex, but that the people do not want a factual or analytical explanation that leaves them emotionally unsatisfied"
KeyFinForum VeteranI read a teaser on TMZ earlier that said Kraft was not the biggest name arrested in that sting....and I'm freaking dying to know what that means. I'll do a triple back flip if Belichek was there.
I mean....the cops have these guys on camera....in the act! This could be devastating for New England.

Unless BB or a player were there...this will have ZERO impact on NE football. Business as usual for that franchise.
