Is Kraft going to Florida specifically for a $50 handjob weirder than Mark Davis travelling $400 miles to get his haircut? It's a close call.

IIRC ... he was in Miami for the NBA All-Star Game, so the spa trip was for a side job.

More likely he has an assistant who uses RubMaps but has convinced Kraft he was a sixth sense for finding the rub-n-tugs in the near vicinity.

Kraft lives in south Florida. It’s his primary residence to take advantage of Florida’s generous homestead exemptions.

that's, uh, an odd offer - admit we'd find you guilty and we won't. of note, it's being given to more than just kraft, but it's reasonable to assume that everyone else its offered to is just cover.

Florida prosecutors have offered to drop charges against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and a number of other men charged with soliciting prostitution, according to a person familiar with the matter, but there is a catch. The proposed agreement calls for the men to admit they would have been proven guilty at trial.

The proposed deferred prosecution agreement calls for completion of an education course about prostitution, completion of 100 hours of community service, screening for sexually transmitted diseases and... (rest of story needs a login)

Kraft's lawyers will be able to argue it down to a doubtful shrug and a requirement to watch Taken

Basically a no contest plea, it sounds like. "I'm not pleading guilty, but at the same time, I concede that if it went to trial I'd likely be found guilty." is pretty much what it tends to be.

Not necessarily, it’s probably a deferred adjudication thing where he pleads guilty but the court doesn’t proceed to find him guilty and then it gets dismissed after a certain period of time as long as he goes that long without getting in more trouble and complies with whatever other conditions they set. If he doesn’t comply, they can just summarily find him guilty and sentence him because he already pled to it.

In this context, being allowed to do an Alford plea is a pretty big deal because it just requires him to admit there is enough evidence to find him guilty, he doesn’t have to admit that he actually IS guilty.

i think we'll need more than the intro paragraph to resolve this but when i hear "charges dropped" i interpret that as stronger than a deferred adjudication or the like, and mean that it actually gets dismissed and they're off scot-free. but it's silly to argue more without the details, either is a reasonable interpretation.

Dismissed without prejudice one would assume?

It's not a differed adjudication, alfred plea, or anything of the sort. It's a standard florida DPA. I've mentioned it in here a few times. These are routine at the misdemeanor level and are a program operated entire within the State Attorney's Office. The court is not involved at all with a DPA. It's an agreement between accused and the state attorney.

In this case, the DPA carries with it the same requirements that statutorily would come with a conviction - 100 hours community service, $5k fine, STD testing, sex trafficking class, etc. The statement admitting guilt is not an admission that can be used in court against them and they are never adjudicated in any way by a judge. They aren't on probation, either, although the DPA may be administered by the same office locally that manages probation.

Basically, if it's your first offense in Florida and a misdemeanor, it's pretty easy to get into a DPA. They're set by the SAO, so there are different requirements depending on the crime that are standard. At the end of the DPA the charges are dismissed with prejudice. They're eligible to be expunged. If he were to plea and be put on probation, he would not be able to seal this offense.
