This isn't about lonely old men or victimless crimes,” said Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg in his press conference on Monday.
Kraft will have a court date on April 24 at 8:30 a.m.
Based on the charges, Kraft could spend up to 120 days (60 per charge) in prison, according to the Palm Beach County attorney’s office.
Incidents Caught on Camera
According to the documents, cameras show that Kraft visited the spa on the afternoon of January 19 and paid for services in cash at the front desk.
Kraft was then taken to a massage room, undressed and lay on a massage bed.
Cameras show a female employee “manipulating his genitals” and later wiping with a towel and helping him get dressed.
On January 20, the day of the AFC Championship game, Kraft went back to the spa just before 11 a.m. and undressed and lay on the massage bed.
Then a woman began “manipulating Kraft’s genitals and put her head down by his genitals. This went on for several minutes,” before she helped him clean up.
According to documents, Kraft gave her a $100 bill and one other unidentifiable bill and left the room at approximately 11:13 a.m.
According to CNN, flight information shows that Kraft arrived in Kansas City at 4:25 p.m. eastern time for the 6:40 p.m. kickoff.
