Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Charged in Sex Trafficking Sting

HeadlineFeb 25, 2019

The billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, was charged Friday for soliciting sex during a sting operation investigating prostitution and human trafficking at day spas in Florida. Hundreds of others have also been charged. Police officers say many of the women involved in the case came to the U.S. from China on temporary visas, and some reportedly had sex with 1,000 men a year. Prosecutors say they have video evidence of Kraft engaging in the criminal acts. Super Bowl Sunday is believed to be one the biggest days of the year for sex trafficking.
