Florida prosecutors say they won't appeal a court's decision blocking video that allegedly shows New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft paying for massage parlor sex, making it likely the charges against him will be dropped.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida prosecutors said Monday that they won't appeal a court's decision blocking video that allegedly shows New England Patriots ownermaking it likely the charges against him will be dropped.

If the state challenged the decision to the Florida Supreme Court and lost, it could have “broader, negative implications” on future law enforcement investigations beyond the Kraft case, the Florida Attorney General’s Office said. Last month, the Florida 4th District Court of Appeal found that Jupiter police violated the rights of Kraft and others when they secretly installed video cameras inside massage rooms at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in early 2019. The court then blocked use of the video footage at trial.

“Based on that analysis ... the decision was made not to seek further discretionary review,” attorney general spokeswoman Kylie Mason said in an email to The Associated Press. The state's decision means the charges against Kraft and about 20 other men will likely be dismissed. The recordings, which have not been made public, are the only known potential evidence that the men paid for sex.Sign Up

Money talks....sad

The things that money can buy. Criminals freedom and the presidency to name a couple small ones...

Same state the let Epstein walk

How much money did that take do ya think? Smh. Rich justice.

How do you own it? Sue to suppress the video.

Fucking rich white men.

That’s fucked up

I suppose this is acceptable behavior for the owner of an NFL team !! He good friend Trump will be happy for him !!!!

People with money rarely are punished for wronging under America's 'it's expensive to go to court for all but the wealthy' legal system.

Not surprised!

Being a billionaire has its privileges...

Trump buddy? Santis buddy? Laws for rich vs laws for normal Americans

Oh to be rich so you can do whatever you wish with no real consequences. At least no legal ones.

If the courts won't do anything, then perhaps it could find it's way to the internets conveniently by chance. Public shaming is better than nothing.

The power to sweep illegal doings under the proverbial rug but for others who don’t have millions get to go to jail. Nice 👍

Well, I guess that's a 'Happy Ending'. Oh, wait........well someone thinks its a Happy Ending!

Why not. Crimes of the rich don't get punished anymore. What is the difference?

Rich why are we surprised!

Who cares

Someone called in a favor from the orange man

Law & Order !

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...

Disgusting

He had to pay someone off

Too bad everyone doesn’t have the money to pay off judges! robertkraft0

Rich people get away with all kinda shit.

Psalm 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world, they increase in riches.

An associate of Trump⁉️

Money always wins. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A happy ending to a happy ending.

Let it Rip show it in it's entirety and commercials free. Then can we get the phone call he made to Trump after he got busted 🤣 🤣now that's worth staying up for 😆 LOL

Gee it's nice to be rich...

Shocking.

Just another old white rich guy getting away with crimes. Are we really shocked?

The fix is in.

Old rich perv's lives don't matter

stillApredator

Money talks!

Being paid up with the right ‘orange guy’ has its perks!

I guess The Beatles were wrong...Money Can Buy You Love

💰 talks and the rich guy walks

Mr. Rich Bucks beats the rap.

Two different justice systems in America. So sick of it.

So this guy committed a crime, it’s on video, and he’s gonna get off (again) because he is who he is. I guess we really shouldn’t be that surprised right?

Weirdo

NFL y’all got to do better

This is bullshit!!!

The rich bastards always get away

i'm confused...did the police not have warrants allowing the installation of video cameras ? Did the courts unlawfully issue the surveillance warrants? who else was caught on video that they must be destroyed?

So there's video of the old geezer being serviced, but it can't be used? He's still a slime ball. And has anyone given thought to the idea that many of these women 'employed' in such places are not there voluntarily?

Oh, to be a rich white guy..................

Another dirty old man getting away with evil deeds.

thanksTrump

Massage parlor sex? He was involved in a sex trafficking investigation. Guess we're just numb to all the corruption & disgusting activities by wealthy people here in the good 'ole USA. Kraft seated next to Trump after being caught. Qatar! FFS.

That WhitePrivilege and RichSupremacy is all of that and then something else ... 🤬🤬🤬🤬

corruption

🤬

Money and power talks.

So he broke the law, but no charges. Money is the best defense

American law doesn’t apply to the rich, everyone knows that.

Billionaires are above the law - we knew that already

MONEY TALKS!!

Easier to be “Patriotic” if justice system was fair for all in ALL of America.

Have you seen the video?. There was a move to force Kraft to sell allowing the 1st black NFL owners to buy his team. NFL teams are are the highest priced worldwide. There is an organized move to lower fan participation to lower sale prices: re an article implicating Soros.

🤮

It’s Florida! There are no laws.

Another rich, white man off the hook...just another day

Did Kraft get both anal or oral sex or just anal sex live President Trump got from Stormy Daniels?

Was it a Florida Attorney General that let Jeffery Epstein off the hook too?...and both offensive happened in the same county! Rich White privilege

He's been getting off in more ways than one.

Dropped because they didn't want to set a higher-level precedent about their use of hidden cameras. Presumably they can't get any witnesses to testify, since massage parlor sex only involves the 'client' and there was obviously nobody else in the room... ...except a sex slave.

If it was a hispanic guy...

The only “privilege” we should all be worried about

RICH WIN AGAIN! I'm a felon for life & did 1 year in State Prison cause I stold a payphone 20 years ago. My public defender, who was best friends with the prosecutor, too advantage of me & forced me accept a plea by saying I'd go to prison for 5 years if I didn't! FOR A PAYPHONE!

Drop Kraft's charges or don't but everybody now knows that good ol' papa Kraft pay$$ for $ex 😜

BoycottNFL one reason of many to do so. Die hard Pats fan for years. I'd rather throw it all in the trash than support these people anymore.

Again the guilty are set free and innocent people are shot, locked up, and treated unfairly.

Of course .. Big Money ... Dorks

That’s the rich justice system at work

Rich people justice

I dont understand, he's guilty of what he's being accused of so why drop the charges?

why, because he is rich?

White rich men

oh, I didn't know prostitution was illegal in the us. that kind of surprised me.

Of course not, Epstein favorable treatment. Justice for the rich.

Shaft Kings

Rich white old people have all the luck.

I wonder if this was a high profiled black man that was caught paying for sex charges for a stuck. He would’ve gone to jail or had to pay the fines.This man owns a football team and is a billionaire so it’s OK that the charges dropped! Where the fuck is the justice in that!?

How much was the donation?

So he's 'getting off' on the charges. [Thanks. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.]

It sure is nice to be an old white rich guy.

Meh....no one is surprised that the old rich white guy gets away with this

so he gets off. twice.

GayleKing you stated you really like and respect him on your show. You’re on the wrong side of history.

JeffreyEpstein like deal. GUILTY
