Florida prosecutors have reportedly offered to drop charges in a plea deal to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and other men involved in the prostitution case—but only if they concede that they would have been proven guilty at a trial.
As part of the deal, Kraft and the 24 other men charged with soliciting prostitution must also perform 100 hours community service, attend an educational class on the dangers of prostitution and pay $5,000 per count, spokesman Mike Edmondson of The Palm Beach State Attorney’s Office said on March 19.
Dave Aronberg, the State Attorney for Palm Beach County noted that the offer was not out of the ordinary. Kraft himself was charged with two counts last month.
“The offer of a deferred prosecution agreement with several conditions to first-time offenders is standard in cases like this,” he said on March 19 on Twitter.
If anyone accepts the offer, the charges of misdemeanor soliciting prostitution will be dropped. Edmondson said no one has accepted the plea deal so far.
