Patriots owner Kraft cleared of massage parlor sex charge

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (AP) — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft will not face trial on charges he paid for massage parlor sex.

Florida prosecutors announced Thursday that they are dropping a misdemeanor charge against Kraft after a court blocked their use of video that allegedly shows him paying for sex at the Orchids of Asia spa in early 2019.

A court ruled last month that the video cameras police secretly installed in the spa violated the customers’ right to privacy.

Kraft could still face a suspension from the National Football League.
