MIAMI — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is apologizing after being charged in a Florida massage parlour prostitution investigation. Prosecutors have offered to drop the charges if Kraft and the men enter a diversion program for first-time offenders. That would include an admission they would be found guilty if their case went to trial, a $5,000 fine, 100 hours of community service and attendance in a class on the dangers of prostitution and its connection to human trafficking. Kraft is one of about 300 men charged between Palm Beach and Orlando as part of a crackdown on illicit massage parlours and human trafficking. William Burck, one of Kraft’s attorneys, told ESPN on Friday that police improperly obtained a search warrant to secretly install cameras inside the Jupiter massage parlour.
