The owners of a Jupiter spa frequented by people like Robert Kraft apparently kept records on its clients, but those records wound up being thrown out mysteriously right around the time that the feds busted in to break up an alleged sex trafficking ring. The new information comes from a recently unsealed arrest warrant.
Jupiter detectives made the discovery by doing some classic dogged investigating, by searching through a dumpster to see if they could find anything of use for the case against Orchids of Asia Day Spa. This is how investigators discovered that the spa actually kept detailed records on clients and transactions.
The New York Post reports about one time last November when they were able to recover and compile paper documents that helped them learn various details about what was happening inside. They could see spreadsheet information that kept track of the alleged illegal activities, like what the name of the client was and other information like how much cash paid and for what services, the unsealed warrant revealed.
Investigators even sent some wet napkins to the forensics lab, and they came back positive for semen. Keep in mind that this business is supposed to just provide massages but stands accused of secretly providing sexual services.
Kraft recently made his first public comments since the shocking news that the billionaire allegedly solicited prostitution at a massage parlor in Florida, ESPN reported.
“I am truly sorry,” Kraft said in a statement. “I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.” He added that his silence is the result of his ongoing legal situation, in which he’s been charged with two misdemeanors that could mean jail time.
“Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing,” Kraft, a powerful old white man who allegedly solicited sex from young and exploited sex slaves, said.
Kraft’s lawyer, William Burck, told ESPN: “There was no human trafficking and law enforcement knows it. The video and the traffic stop were illegal and law enforcement just doesn’t want to admit it. The state attorney needs to step up and do the right thing and investigate how the evidence in this case was obtained.”
The Jewish Voice reported about when police in Florida said that the owner of the NFL’s most successful franchise in recent years solicited prostitution from a spa in Jupiter. The facility, Orchids of Asia Day Spa, was raided as part of an investigation into alleged sex slavery practices, according to police.
CNN reports that the sting was months in the making and that two separate trips he made to the spa got him tangled up in the probe. A spokeswoman for the local police department, Kristin Rightler, made sure to clarify that “charges have been filed” against Kraft, “but he has not been arrested.” The Patriots organization had only a short comment that it would provide about the ongoing situation. “We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
