A day after news broke that prosecution in the Palm Beach County prostitution case had offered Robert Kraft and other defendants a unique plea deal, Kraft’s legal team fought back by filing a court motion to suppress video evidence in the trial.
If granted, the motion would ensure the surveillance camera footage taken from the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter never gets released. Reportedly, that footage is said to show Kraft paying for and receiving illicit sexual services from massage parlor employees twice before the AFC Championship Game.
On Tuesday, Kraft and other men connected to the prostitution scandal were offered a plea deal in which their charges would be dropped if they met certain conditions: the defendants would need to “pay $5,000 fines for each offense (Kraft was charged with two), complete an educational course about prostitution, submit to testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and admit in court that they would have been found guilty had the case gone to trial,” per a report by ESPN’s T.
