A video recording of Kraft and other men allegedly engaging in massage parlor sex will be returned to prosecutors for destruction, a Florida judge ruled Friday, July 30, 2021, ending a two-year saga that tarnished the reputation of one of football's most successful luminaries. Prosecutors dropped misdemeanor solicitation charges last year against Kraft and almost two dozen other men after a state appeals court upheld Hanser's 2019 ruling. He determined that the warrant allowing the installation of hidden cameras inside a Jupiter, Florida, massage parlor didn’t sufficiently protect the privacy of innocent customers who received legal massages. Kraft and the others had been charged in February 2019 after an investigation into possible prostitution at the Jupiter massage parlor.

(AP Photo/Julio Cortez, File)FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A federal judge in Florida has ordered the destruction of video that allegedly shows New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft paying for massage parlor sex, according to court documents. A misdemeanor solicitation charge against Kraft was dropped in September after an appeals court ruled that video evidence couldn't be used in the case. Kraft, 79, and others were charged in February 2019 in a multicounty investigation of massage parlors that included the secret installation of video cameras in the spas’ lobbies and rooms. Police say the recordings show Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them.

Of course, the virus wasn't the only major Florida story in 2020. November's election had only minor problems even with the pandemic, perhaps burying the state's reputation for voting ineptitude forever. But on April 1, with 130 Floridians dead and 10,000 confirmed cases, DeSantis issued a 30-day stay-at-home order with exceptions for essential workers and such activities as grocery shopping. With cases declining, DeSantis loosened restrictions in early May except for hard-hit Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Lei Wang, 41, and Shen Mingbi, 60, each pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County circuit court to one count of soliciting another to commit prostitution, records show. Kraft had pleaded not guilty but issued a public apology for his actions. Hua Zhang, 59, pleaded guilty last month to two misdemeanors. Lei Chen, 45, pleaded guilty to eight counts of offering to commit prostitution in February. Police say the recordings show Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them.

Florida prosecutors on Thursday dropped prostitution solicitation charges against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, after being barred from using police surveillance videos that might prove their case. "Without these videos we cannot move forward with our prosecution," said Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg during a press conference.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Florida prosecutors dropped a misdemeanor charge against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft on Thursday after courts blocked their use of video that allegedly shows him paying for massage parlor sex. The recordings, which have not been made public, are the only known evidence the men paid for sex. Prosecutors decided this week not to appeal to the Florida Supreme Court, saying a loss there could have “broader, negative implications” on future law enforcement investigations beyond the Kraft case. Aronberg said that because of a civil lawsuit filed against his office over the case, the recordings are still evidence. Police say the recordings show Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them.

The state's decision means the charges against Kraft and about 20 other men will likely be dismissed. The recordings, which have not been made public, are the only known potential evidence that the men paid for sex. Police say the recordings show Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them. The 4th District agreed, ruling that planting video cameras in private spaces is an “extreme” measure that should only be used when absolutely necessary. Even if the charges are dropped, Kraft could still face a suspension or other punishment from the National Football League.

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, right, celebrates his second rushing touchdown as he heads to the bench in the second half of an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020, in Foxborough, Mass. – Cam Newton looked just fine as Tom Brady's replacement, rushing for two touchdowns Sunday, and the New England Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 21-11 to open the season. The Patriots were threatening again late in the period, but Jerome Baker kept the Dolphins in the game. Newton carried on the second play of the game and capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run on the Patriots’ third possession to put them up 7-0.

Cuomo said efforts to procure masks from China amid state competition for medical supplies were "inefficient and ineffective" and warned against dependence on China for basic equipment. I mean think about that you couldn't even get it in this nation," Cuomo said at a press briefing. "You can't be dependent on China to have the basic equipment to save lives in the United States, that's what this came down to," the governor said. In response, New York is a launching a regional buying consortium with six Northeast states to procure PPE, tests, ventilators and other medical equipment to reduce competition among states and lower prices. "We can't go through this day to day in this mad scramble to move masks to where they were needed."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A call for help from Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker prompted an unorthodox mission from the New England Patriots, who sent their team jet to China this week in order to retrieve 1.7 million N95 medical masks, the NFL side said on Thursday. A New England Patriots Boeing 767-300 jet with a shipment of over one million N95 masks from China, which will be used in Boston and New York to help fight the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), arrives at Logan Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., April 2, 2020.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to prohibit federal funding for colleges and universities that allow anti-Semitism, but the move drew some criticism for potentially limiting free speech. REUTERS/Tom BrenneThe order would extend protections against discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act to people subjected to anti-Semitism on college campuses. This is our message to universities: If you want to accept the tremendous amount of federal dollars that you get every year, you must reject anti-Semitism. Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. In a climate of rising anti-Semitism, this executive order provides valuable guidance on anti-Semitism, giving law enforcement and campus officials an important additional tool to help identify and fight this pernicious hate, Chief Executive Jonathan Greenblatt said.

Jim Rogash/Getty ImagesBOSTON - The New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is now part of an elite club of coaches. The Patriot's 27-13 win over the Cleveland Browns marked Belichick's 300th win, making him only the third coach in NFL history to accomplish such a feat, according to the league's website. Patriots CEO and chairman Robert Kraft presented Belichick the game ball after the game. "I'm happy that 263 of those 300 has been as coach of the New England Patriots," Kraft said. Belichick's first victory as a head coach was against the Patriots as the Browns' coach on September 8, 1991, Kraft said.

Tom Brady throws a 34-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon for his 500th career touchdown pass during the fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 4, 2018. (CNN) - Tom Brady is defending his cameo in the Netflix series "Living With Yourself," saying the media is creating a "blame and shame" culture. In the scene, Brady is seen walking out of the "Top Happy Spa," which is located inside a strip mall. Brady insisted that the scene has nothing to do with Kraft and told reporters it was "taken out of context." "Again, it's unfortunate that people would choose to think I would ever do something like that about Mr. Kraft.

If the appeal fails, prosecutors will likely have to drop their case against Kraft, a widower worth $6 billion whose Palm Beach mansion is across a bridge from the spa. Only hours after that, Kraft was in Kansas City for the AFC Championship game, where his Patriots defeated the Chiefs . The NFL has issued no sanctions against Kraft, but has said it is monitoring the case. While prosecutors are arguing that ruling is faulty on several fronts, they focused on whether the recordings illegally violated Kraft's privacy. No matter which way the justices rule, the losing side will likely appeal to the Florida Supreme Court.

According to the New York Times, time is running out for the NFL team to make a customary visit to the White House following their February win. "We would welcome them to the White House in the future should a future date work out," White House spokesman Judd Deere told CNN on Sunday. In March, according to the New York Times, Trump reportedly told aides that he still wanted Kraft to attend a ceremony at the White House despite the charges against him. The Patriots have visited the White House five times after Super Bowl victories. The Boston Red Sox visited the White House in May to celebrate their national championship and the team's attendance broke down along racial and ethnic lines.

Months after New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution at a Jupiter day spa, legislators take action. Months after a high-profile prostitution bust netted New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft on charges of soliciting sex at a Jupiter spa, a new state law aims to drive down demand in the sex trade industry and curb human trafficking. Ron DeSantis on June 27 signed into law a requirement that spas and hotels teach staff to spot signs of sex trafficking and all law enforcement officers complete four-hour training on how to investigate the crime. Thats common practice among illicit massage businesses, said Terry Coonan, who heads Florida State Universitys Center for the Advancement of Human Rights and studies sex trafficking at massage parlors. Prosecutors in Palm Beach, Martin, Indian River and Orange counties charged Kraft and dozens of other men with soliciting prostitution, a second-degree misdemeanor.
