BOSTON (WEEI.com) -- New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was charged Friday morning with two separate counts of soliciting another to commit prostitution as part of a sting operation in Florida that followed a six-month investigation into human traffickers who allegedly had lured women to work as prostitutes.
There were 25 names released Friday, and ESPN's Adam Schefter said there will be 175 more names -- and some also may be public figures.
"Some will just be regular people of names we don't know," Schefter said on "Ordway, Merloni & Fauria" on Friday afternoon. "There could be other names we do know."
Schefter also got into what discipline could be coming for Kraft and the Patriots. Kraft, 77, is subject to discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy, which lists 14 violations, including “sexual assault and other sex offenses.”
Most recently, the NFL suspended Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay six games and fined him $500,000 for violating the personal conduct policy following an arrest for driving while intoxicated. Schefter seems to think something similar could be coming, but nothing more.
"We'll see what the league decides to do and how the league decides to handle it, but the league I would think would investigate this, come to its own conclusions and if the league finds that there's been any wrong-doing ... [things that> are in violation of the personal conduct policy there will then at that point in time be a fine levied," he said. "I would think there would be a potential suspension levied depending on what the league finds. To me, it doesn't go beyond that because that is what we're talking about -- penalizing the individual."
Police say they have video footage of Kraft in a sex act at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, which is located in a Jupiter, Fla., strip mall. Kraft has denied any illegal activity.
