Patriots Owner Bob Kraft Charged With Soliciting Prostitution **merged**

[plymkr]

Wonder if they make him sell the team now. To his family no doubt but didn’t they force the titans or another owner sell.

Richardson from the Panthers.

I heard there was a guy more famous that was caught.

Commanders fans hoping it was Dan Snyder.

Well Snyder was caught pimping his cheerleaders to his wealthy pals...pretty sure he is bulletproof.

So is Kraft gonna be banned from the combine like the kid who got into a fist fight at a McDonalds when he was seventeen??
Or how about Zeke who got six games for a crime he was never charged for and exonerated by the league’s own investigator?

Eh, who cares as long as it was consensual? If trafficking was involved, bust those responsible.

Since it IS illegal where he did it, that's conduct detrimental to the League though. Suspend the entire Patriots roster for two games.

They'd still win the AFC East by a game, maybe two... lol.

I believe this is a misdemeanor and he will get a slap on the wrist. Its what the league will do that makes this interesting.

Human trafficking is a pretty serious matter. If Kraft is somehow involved in that, not only does he need to go to jail, he should be forced to sell the team.

More likely however, he just got caught with a prostitute. While not a great look, it's not a huge deal, IMO.

I find it hard to believe that Kraft would get involved in a human trafficking ring. More likely he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And like anything else today the media will post the “ click bait” more sensational headline.

Not to get overly political but he should use the what I do in my private life ( sex if true) is my business defense.

This will come down to a Goodell / Kraft Pats grudge match

Totally Agree!

Yeah. But only racial comments draw that kind of ire in the NFL.

When did the police realize the women were being forced against their will?

They have video according to the police.

I don't think anything is clickbait yet. The media has pointed out, he's only getting a misdemeanor as of now. The biggest issue here is, there are even BIGGER names than Kraft involved. So, I'm guessing this is probably going to become very political - because that's the only way I can see this going. Probably caught some senators/governors going there for some fun.

Either way, Kraft is a moron and no, this stuff isn't just "his business" - what he's doing is illegal, he owns a team with national and even international attention. He's a public figure. Not sure how they go about disciplining owners - but a simple allegation got an owner to step down just a year ago.

Billionaires don’t go to Asian massage parlors. There is something else going on there. Much much bigger than is being reported.

Very true. This will no doubt fall under the Personal Conduct Policy. I’d look for Kraft to be suspended for about 2-6 games and a hefty fine. Maybe a million or more. Remember this isn’t his first fine

One of the most embarrassing breaches of the law by a NFL owner since Irsay in Indianapolis which he was slapped pretty hard. I’d expect a much stiffer fine and suspension especially for one of the most visible owners in the league.

Unfortunately for Kraft this won’t be a happening ending

As of right now he's just charged with soliciting a prostitute, that's not even a slap on the wrist. But if he's caught up in the trafficking part, that's entirely different.

Soliciting a prostitute is illegal.
