Florida prosecutors are offering to drop the charges against Kraft if he admits to being guilty.

(If I were in Kraft's shoes, I don't think I'd accept the deal. Since there was no audio, I don't believe they can prove he did anything wrong.)

Prosecutors reportedly offer to drop Robert Kraft prostitution charges

Quote:
To take advantage of the deal, Kraft and the other johns must agree that they would have been found guilty at trial.
The defendants must also do 100 hours of community service, submit to an STD test, take a class on the dangers of prostitution and pay $5,000 per criminal charge they face.

I don't believe he'll agree to that, either.

I wouldn't take that deal if it was myself personally.


My feeling it's a blanket offer they made to everyone caught up in the scheme. Get the quick deal done and see who bites.

Who else did Kraft give money to?

It's an election year cycle and if more give it back it stays in the news.

The guy is on camera and this is starting to look like Wynn all over again. Maybe the Kraft group changes their name. Maybe they just sell the whole thing off to another company (how about Bain Capital?).

His reputation is down the toilet. It doesn't matter whether he gets convicted of anything or not.

CNN is reporting that Kraft said he would not accept the deal. And Kraft has filed a motion to suppress the video evidence.

A 77 year old guy getting a BJ at a massage parlor? On the spectrum of reputation issues, that's pretty far down the list.

For the average person? No. For someone of his stature? Yes, this is pretty bad for him. It doesn't help that he made a point of donating to charities that help fight exploitation of women while taking part in it himself.

It's not a good look for a guy who has won awards for helping victims just like the victims providing services at the massage parlor. "Down the toilet" may be a reach, but it's fair to say that this is not an insignificant mark and it will stick with him for a while. Except, of course, with the "die hahd Pats fans" who absolutely will not care.
