Prosecutors told a court Wednesday they plan to release undercover video of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and others allegedly receiving sex acts at a Florida massage parlour, but it will likely be up to a judge when or if it's released.
Palm Beach County prosecutors filed a notice in a related case saying they believe the videos are public records under Florida law and plan to release pixilated versions -- a move Kraft's attorneys quickly moved to block, accusing prosecutors of apparent "gross prosecutorial misconduct."
"Absent a Court order, the State will be releasing the requested public records" after they are pixilated, Aronberg wrote. His spokesman, Mike Edmondson, said the release is not imminent as the office is processing numerous public records requests from the case. David S. Weinstein, a defence attorney and former prosecutor who is not involved in the case, said "there is still no guarantee that the tapes will be released." Prosecutors "are simply stating that they are complying with their duties under the public records laws and they won't be withholding the tapes," he said. Even if the trial judge orders the videos' release, Kraft's attorneys could appeal, he said.
According to police records, Kraft, who is worth $6 billion, was chauffeured to the Orchids of Asia spa on the evening of Jan. 19, where officers secretly recorded him engaging in a sex act and then handing over an undetermined amount of cash. Goldberger has previously accused Jupiter police of having "deliberately misrepresented" facts used to get a judge to approve the warrant allowing the cameras' secret installation. Officers used an undisclosed ruse to gain access to the spa days before Kraft's visits.
