Kraft stunned the nation when he was arrested in Florida during a wide sweeping bust. He pleaded not guilty and returns to court on March 27, 2019.

Robert Kraft is accused of visiting two Jupiter, Florida day spas and soliciting prostitution. Though Kraft plead not guilty and his lawyer is crafting his defense, authorities with Martin County Sheriff’s Office say it’s possible two videos showing Kraft at the spa will be released if not before the case is heard after it is closed.

The charges are misdemeanors for incidents authorities allege took place on January 19, 2019, and January 20, 2019.  It is believed the videos will show Kraft allegedly paying for sexual services at the day spa on both days.
