The Associated Press says that the charge comes due to a crackdown on sex trafficking around the Palm Beach area. So far, there have been approximately 200 arrests made and more are expected.

A spokesperson for Kraft denied the owner’s involvement.

“We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity,” the statement said. “Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”

Kraft acquired the Patriots in 1994 and his teams have won six Super Bowls since he became the principal owner of the franchise.
