Judge says no release of Kraft video until after April 29 hearing
Florida prosecutors had announced that they intend to release surveillance footage from inside the Orchids of Asia Day Spa where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and dozens of others allegedly paid for sex.
It’s hard to care when a billionaire suffers abuse at the hands of our justice system. But the case of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been a travesty, and we should all pay attention.
In February, when Kraft charged with soliciting prostitution at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla., the media coverage immediately gravitated to the alleged human-trafficking angle.
A few days later, Chief Assistant State Attorney Tom Bakkedahl said it was unclear how many trafficked women were employed at the spa.

“It could be anywhere from two to five (victims) at this stage, but I’m not positive,” he said. “Those who have been identified as potential victims are being cared for; I have been informed of that.”
At a press conference about the arrests, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said, “Modern-day slavery can happen anywhere, including in the peaceful community of Jupiter.”
