Robert Kraft Charged in Prostitution Case, NFL Won't 'Interfere' with Police

The NFL released a statement Monday saying it would not interfere with law enforcement's investigation into New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who allegedly solicited prostitution.

CNN's Jill Martin shared the league's statement:

Michele Steele of ESPN noted Monday that Kraft has been charged with two misdemeanors in the case. Kraft is due in court on April 24, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

According to Chuck Johnston and Joe Sterling of CNN.com, Kraft "is among nearly 200 people linked to several central Florida day spas and massage parlors suspected of being used for prostitution and targeted by law enforcement during a monthslong investigation into sex trafficking."

Kraft reportedly went to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida, on two occasions and was seen on security footage both being driven to the spa and receiving "paid acts." Steele noted Kraft was seen on January 19 and 20. The latter date was the day of the AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the wake of the charges, state attorney's spokesman Mike Edmonson said Kraft is facing a punishment of 60 or fewer days in jail per count, according to Johnston and Sterling.

"They also have an interesting provision in Florida law that you have to complete 100 hours of community service and attend a prostitution and human trafficking awareness course," CNN legal analyst Paul Callan added.

Kraft has denied the accusations.
