Police in Jupiter, Florida, have charged New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft with soliciting of a prostitute, Miami's CBS4 News reported Friday. Kraft was apparently one of 25 people charged in the prostitution ring bust, which revolved around a Palm Beach County massage parlor.
While details are still being announced, TMZ reports that the 77-year-old billionaire "is accused of soliciting a prostitute on at least two separate occasions." Additionally, police claim they have "video of Robert Kraft involved in acts with a prostitute as part of their investigation," NBC News reports.
Kraft bought the Patriots in 1994, and has seen the team win six championships during his tenure. The prostitution ring investigation reportedly took more than eight months to complete, and involved Homeland Security and the IRS, in addition to local police.
