Prosecutors concede no human trafficking in Kraft spa case
Prosecutors in Robert Kraft’s day spa prostitution case on Friday admitted they don’t have any evidence to prove there was human trafficking at the massage parlor.
Police busted the New England Patriots owner for allegedly soliciting prostitution after installing secret cameras inside the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla. as part of a trafficking investigation.
But an assistant state attorney at a hearing Friday conceded that while they initially suspected alleged prostitution at the spa was connected to trafficking, the evidence didn’t bear that out.
“There are no individuals that have been involved in this investigation or this prosecution that arise out of the Orchids of Asia spa that are being charged with human trafficking,” he said.
“We’ve vetted this case, we’ve done our due diligence, there is no human trafficking that arises out of this investigation.”
All of the “masseuses” caught on camera engaging in a sexual act will be charged with felonies or misdemeanors, he added.
“Finally an admission there was no human trafficking in this case,” Kraft’s attorney William Burck responded.
Burck added that law enforcement officers had repeatedly linked the case to trafficking in public comments.
