“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.'
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORENew England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he was “truly sorry” in his first public statement since facing charges of soliciting prostitution in January in a Florida spa scandal.
Kraft, 77, said he had wanted to speak out for weeks, but he did not in deference to the judicial process. Kraft and more than a dozen other men face charges in the Orchids of Asia Day Spa sex-for-pay case. Kraft faces two misdemeanor charges, and he and other first-time offenders have been offered a plea deal.
“Throughout my life I’ve tried to do the right thing,” Kraft said. “The last thing I would ever want to do was to 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.”
Kraft said moving forward, he wants to “help others and make a difference,” and expects to be judged “not by my words, but my actions.”
