New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been named by police as a person involved in a recent prostitution, human trafficking sting operation in Jupiter, Florida.
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.””
Apparently Kraft was spotted on video several times at the spa in question.
