Robert Kraft's Court Date Moved Up To NFL's Annual League Meeting

Robert Kraft's Florida court date has been pushed up a month. Kraft, who faces two misdemeanor counts of soliciting another to commit prostitution stemming from two visits the weekend of the AFC Championship Game, now has a court date of March 27, according to Palm Beach County court documents. His initial court date was April 24.

Kraft, the 77-year-old billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, does not need to show up to the court. He can appoint an attorney to represent him.

The new court date is the same day NFL owners meet in Phoenix for the Annual League Meeting. Owners typically discuss league matters during the meeting.

Court documents released Monday described what local prosecutors said was Kraft caught on camera paying for and receiving sexual acts at a massage parlor in Jupiter, FL.
