Treasure Coast Newspapers reported the spa was among 10 shut down in Orlando, Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast after a lengthy investigation.
A detective said the sex acts were captured on surveillance video.
Kraft has not yet been arrested on the misdemeanor charge, according to the Jupiter Police Department. A warrant will be issued and his attorneys will be notified.
CNN reported that a representative for Kraft released the following statement:
"We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
The NFL also released a statement, saying, "The (league) is aware of the ongoing law enforcement matter and will continue to monitor developments."
The Patriots won the Super Bowl earlier this month in Atlanta.
