Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Charged in Sex Trafficking Sting
------------------------------------------------------------

The billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, was
charged Friday for soliciting sex during a sting operation investigating
prostitution and human trafficking at day spas in Florida. Hundreds of
others have also been charged. Police officers say many of the women
involved in the case came to the U.S. from China on temporary visas, and
some reportedly had sex with 1,000 men a year. Prosecutors say they have
video evidence of Kraft engaging in the criminal acts. Super Bowl Sunday
is believed to be one the biggest days of the year for sex trafficking.
