He has no shame – wow
He is allegedly caught on tape soliciting prostitution from human trafficking victims. And he’s attending Oscar parties?— Michelle (@ZenShelly) February 25, 2019
If he really is doing that that is going to make him look worse he is going to go from one of the best most respected owners to the most hated and disrespected bad for him and his entire organization @Patriots @robertkraft0 @NFL @nflcommish should act quickly & sternly!

@AnitaMarks Bob Kraft is SO embarrassed he has been out in LA at the Oscar parties the past few days rubbing elbows with celebs. Guess that shows what he thinks.

Kraft, 77, was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter on Friday. It was part of a sting operation of an alleged human trafficking operation.
Kraft is expected to be formally charged and arrested today for the two counts of soliciting prostitutes, Yahoo Sports reported. Both are misdemeanor charges.
He is not being accused of charged with anything related to human trafficking.
A spokesperson for Kraft released a statement Friday denying the charges, Yahoo reported: “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
The NFL released a statement on the matter Monday.
