Robert Kraft visited parlor twice before AFC Championship Game
According to new documents released Monday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft twice visited a massage parlor for sex acts before the AFC Championship Game.
On Monday, more details and documents were released regarding the reported connection between New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and a Florida massage parlor prostitution sting.
The Palm Beach State Attorney’s Office made documents publicly available that suggest Kraft visited the Orchids of Asia Day Spa on Saturday January 19, and then again the morning of Sunday January 20 – just hours before the AFC Championship Game kicked off. After visiting the massage parlor Sunday morning in Jupiter, Florida, Kraft flew to Kansas City, Missouri, to attend and view the football game.
According to police documents, Kraft was videotaped paying for and then receiving sex acts from at least one employee at the parlor.
He is reportedly one of hundreds of individuals who have been linked to the prostitution ring sting, which had been set up by Florida authorities over the course of over six months. Police secretly planted cameras and recording equipment in a number of targeted locations, at least 10 of which have since been closed.
Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg announced Monday that Kraft had officially been charged with two misdemeanor counts of first-degree solicitation. If convicted in a court of law, Kraft could potentially face up to one year of jail time, 100 hours of community service, a $5000 fine, and required attendance in a human trafficking dangers class.

Kraft released an official statement through a spokesperson on Friday in which he denied any wrongdoing on his part: “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
He will not be required to attend his own court date, which is currently scheduled for Wednesday, April 24.
