Last February, Robert Kraft was among more than 25 people caught up in a police investigation into Florida massage parlors: the New England Patriots’ owner was charged with two separate counts of soliciting prostitution after video recordings from inside a spa in Palm Beach County allegedly showed him paying for sexual services.
What ensued was a legal battle that lasted 19 months and came to an end today: according to court papers filed, prosecutors dropped the misdemeanor charges against Kraft today after courts had previously blocked the use of the recorded video.
Last month, the Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals found that police violated the rights of the 79-year-old and others when cameras were secretly installed at the establishment.
