New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with two separate counts of first-degree solicitation of prostitution by state attorney Dave Aronberg in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Monday.
The offense, ruled first-degree misdemeanors, is punishable by up to a year in jail. Additionally, the offenders are punished with a $5,000 fine and 100 hours of community service. There is potential for the prison sentence to be increased from 60 days up to a year.
Kraft's scheduled court date is April 24th, but he does not have to appear; his lawyer can appear for him.
