New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is a wanted man -- cops say they've issued a warrant for his arrest as part of a recent prostitution, human trafficking sting operation in Jupiter, Florida.
Cops say 77-year-old Kraft will be charged with soliciting another to commit prostitution.
Officials say Kraft is accused of soliciting a prostitute on at least 2 separate occasions roughly "a month ago."
Cops say they have obtained evidence from body cam video and surveillance that has been conducted over the last several months. Officials say Kraft was driven to the spa by a chauffeur.
The average cost per visit for services is $59 or $79 per hour, according to police.
Kraft will be charged with a misdemeanor and will have to appear in court. Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in the operation -- including Homeland Security, the IRS, the Jupiter P.D., Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office and more.
Officials say the women accused of running the sex trafficking ring operated out of local spas which touted themselves as massage parlors. The investigation took roughly 8 months and officials say they've identified more than 100 men suspected of being "Johns."
Robert Kraft bought the Patriots in January 1994 -- and has led the team to 6 Super Bowl championships and 10 AFC championships.
Story developing ...
That is the serious side of prostitution. It's the 21st. Century form of slavery. And it inflicts the same damage as all of the sex abuse scandals.
Next thing we know there will be body cams in restrooms to make sure nothing bad is taking place.
