Florida offers Robert Kraft deal to drop prostitution charges

Florida prosecutors offered to drop charges against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft if he agrees to a deal that would have him admit he would have been proven guilty if the case went to trial.

According to The Wall Street Journal, prosecutors offered a "deferred prosecution" agreement to Kraft and others who are charged with soliciting prostitution in South Florida.  The deal would require them to complete an education course about prostitution, complete 100 hours of community service, screen for sexually transmitted disease and pay a portion of court costs.

The Journal also reports that Kraft would have to review the case against him and agree that the state would have found him guilty if he went to trial for it.

It is not clear right now whether Kraft will accept the offer or not.  Last month Kraft pleaded not guilty to two charges of soliciting prostitution after he was among more than two dozen men arrested for allegedly paying prostitutes for sex acts at a massage parlor in Jupiter.
