Kraft was one of 25 men charged as a result of the investigation
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft on Saturday issued his first public statement since he was charged in connection to a prostitution ring bust last month. In a statement, Kraft apologized and said he has «extraordinary respect for women.»
Last month, Kraft pleaded not guilty to two charges of soliciting prostitution. Police said they have surveillance video of Kraft engaging in sex acts during two visits to massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison.
«In deference to the judicial process, I have remained silent these past several weeks. To correct some of the misinformation surrounding this matter, my attorney made his first public comments on Friday night,» Kraft said in the statement.
