New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is facing intensifying pressure from Florida prosecutors as they seek to increase charges against him in a wide-ranging prostitution case.
According to a report from the Sun-Sentinel’s Marc Freeman, state lawyers have filed a request to the Florida Attorney General’s office to increase Kraft's charge from two misdemeanors to a third-degree felony, which could earn him up to five years in prison.
Kraft previously pleaded not guilty to the two misdemeanor charges in March — stemming from two January 2019 incidents — and has requested a jury trial.
