Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Issues Statement on Prostitution Case: 'I Am Truly Sorry'


by Josh Feldman | Mar 23rd, 2019, 2:12 pm

-snip-

In deference to the judicial process, I have remained silent these past several weeks. To correct some of the misinformation surrounding this matter, my attorney made his first public comments on Friday night. I would like to use this opportunity to say something that I have wanted to say for four weeks.

I am truly sorry. I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.

Throughout my life, I have always tried to do the right thing. The last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being. I have extraordinary respect for women; my morals and my soul were shaped by the most wonderful woman, the love of my life, who I was blessed to have as my partner for 50 years.

As I move forward, I hope to continue to use the platform with which I have been blessed to help others and to try to make a difference. I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your confidence and respect.

The NFL won't do anything of consequence to him or his team.

They need to take away draft picks or something that does damage to the team.

Kinda rings hollow. He wants forgiveness without facing the consequences.

There are far more important parts to this -- the Trump friend "madam" who is involved in large scale trafficking and selling influence/access to Trump to a bunch of Chinese delegations.

I hope FL gets to the bottom of it but with DeSantis as governor, it will probably be hushed up like the Epstein case.

If you get caught you just have apologize and that’s the end of it.

If you are a billionaire.
