Via Sun-Sentinel:
Florida prosecutors just raised the stakes in New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s fight against prostitution charges.
It’s been nearly a year since the 78-year-old part-time Palm Beach resident paid for sex acts at a Jupiter massage parlor likened to a brothel.
But now lawyers for the state are arguing for the first time that Kraft — charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution — actually committed a felony.
The latest court filing from the Attorney General’s Office suggests Kraft could face a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison, if the state wins its appeal of a lower court order favoring the billionaire.
All this for a couple rub and tugs? You would think Florida would have much more pressing issues to worry about.
