New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft will suffer “irreparable harm’’ by the release of video footage that allegedly captured him buying sexual favors at a Florida spa, and public disclosure could “destroy’’ his chances of getting a fair trial, his lawyers said Wednesday.
Attorneys for Kraft, 77, made the assertions in a legal filing in Palm Beach County, where he currently faces two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla., in January.
Kraft, through his representatives, has denied engaging in criminal activity, pleaded not guilty, and requested a jury trial.
