The 77-year-old billionaire, who strongly denies two misdemeanor charges of soliciting prostitution after two visits to the Orchids of Asia Spa in Jupiter, Florida in January, said in a statement, In deference to the judicial process, I have remained silent these past several weeks. To correct some of the misinformation surrounding this matter, my attorney made his first public comments on Friday night. I would like to use this opportunity to say something that I have wanted to say for four weeks.
I am truly sorry. I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.
Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being. I have extraordinary respect for women; my morals and my soul were shaped by the most wonderful woman, the love of my life, who I was blessed to have as my partner for 50 years.
As I move forward, I hope to continue to use the platform with which I have been blessed to help others and to try to make a difference. I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your confidence and respect.
Kraft was devastated when his wife Myra died of cancer aged 68 in 2011. He told the Boston Globe in 2013 of his loneliness and grief, I sort of feel robbed
.Im blessed with four great children and eight grandchildren, he said, knocking on the wood of his desk. But you go home, and you go home alone, and no ones there. Its just really sad.

We’ve been married 55 years and I keep telling my wife if she goes first I told her to save me a seat.
Usually what goes on in those places is more than possible disease transfer...sometimes the disease gets to the happy ender other friends...sometimes robbery...wounds...blackmail...extortion....it is not that harmless....broken relationships...vermin...etc....if you go...you are like a cattle for slaughter....if you follow your impulses folks be waiting to rip what they can off you...count on it...
Good that he could still get it up at 77!

With his money my escort lady would be Emily Ratstowski or Charlotte McKinney level hot
The NFL openly supports communist activism and disrespect towards law enforcement and military personnel. It is cutting checks to Black Lives Matter groups.
If any apologies are ever owed anywhere by anyone, it is never under any circumstances owed to the NFL no matter what was done.
It is literally not possible to do anything at all which would tarnish what they have openly chosen to become.

Exploiting women is not a way to handle your grief.
Paying someone to destroy themselves s should be illegal. You should not be able to pay someone to cut their flesh for you, or eat glass, or poke a needle in their eyeball. I dont care if you are consenting adults.
Prostitution is a woman or girl destroying herself. Usually an addict and almost always sexually abused in childhood and sometimes actually enslaved until mentally destroyed.
Some things are immoral and paying someone for sex is one of them. Yall flame away. This is supposed to be a God fearing site if I remember the manifesto correctly its not Libertarian Land. Prostitution destroys men, women, and children. It should be illegal and enforced so.
Hahahahahahaha!!! Riiiiight. Nice try.
Charlie Sheen said If you are rich or famous you dont pay a prostitute for sex. You pay a prostitute to LEAVE after sex.
I am NOT saying what happened was OK but I can understand the motivation of not wanting a woman to come into the picture who might cost him and his family A LOT. And, to never be sure about any womans motivations concerning going out with him. Theres also the risk of claims of date rape, etc. etc. etc.
(BTW...I like your tag-line....Always remember the definition of a weapon without ammo....Its called a club!)*W*
It sure has changed, hasn't it? This man has behaved poorly, and even though he's a widower, he still has a family including grandchildren. He owed that apology to all of them.
Thank you. If he needed to indulge he could afford to drop a couple grand on some top shelf rather than slumming it.
Sorry that should have read hes rich....
Was talking about Kraft.
I really dont think an old widowed man whos been alone for 7 years paying for a happy ending every so often is a major moral decay...
He was married for 50 years raised his kids to be productive members of society etc etc...
If he decides once in a while to have someone else take care of his urges for some cash, it may not be ideal but dammit, its hardly the end of the world.
What woman is going to be interested in a nearly 80 year old billionaire who wasnt after his money? And what societal benefit would there be for him to even be looking for another wife?
You can argue the woman is the victim, but if all they have him doing is getting a little tug, or even a bj.. for crying out loud hardly has he defiled her honor.
You cannot think Jeffrey Epstein is the only one who brought underaged girls in for sex slavery. There have to be others.
Girls are taken from Central American families all the time and kept against their will here for services to factory and farm working guys.
But you are correct: this particular sting was against sex slavery and not child slavery. Yes, there are Asian and Latina sex workers who do not have freedom and are mistreated in illegal ways.
I get that government comes down on issues using sob stories (vaccination, etc) and I dont want my sensitivities to cloud my judgment here, but I do feel that every intelligent male who uses sex workers should be aware that some are not free to say no. Sex slavery is rape. Prostitution is not. There is a difference, and my point was to say this.
This billionaire was not busted because he used a prostitute. I could not care less. He was busted because he used a cheap hole in the wall and didnt do any diligence to find out if the workers were voluntary or trapped there in slavery.
There is a difference and everyone should find out if possible. With his money, he had no excuse not to use a happy, healthy, discreet hooker.
See? Prostitution does not equal slavery. Two different things. And of course you would get the hottest one(s). Duh. ;)
Is that the one you use? Lol!!
I guess its the opposite of the Cougar sites. Gross, I have college sons; it disgusts me to think of being a cougar.
Anyway, if adults make those kind of financial arrangements, Im ok with it. Willing partners. That aint slavery!
How would you like cops taking videos of you naked for the purported "greater good"?
Couldn't the cops have just performed wellness checks to make sure no women were being held there involuntarily?
Understood, but any woman interested in a 77-year-old is going to be financially motivated or well past the born-on date or both. If he wants no-commitment, no-risk, he can fly to practically any country south of the border and have what he wants. Prefers Asians? There's always Thailand.
