Big issues in the Patriots organization just weeks after winning Super Bowl LIII.

On Friday, it was announced by Jupiter police that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection with a Florida spa tied to an international human trafficking ring.

Jupiter police chief Daniel Kerr stated video evidence shows Kraft involved in sex acts at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa.
