Court Throws out Key Evidence<br />in Robert Kraft Solicitation Case A county judge has ruled video evidence against<br />Kraft inadmissible in the investigation of his<br />involvement in a Florida sex-trafficking ring. Kraft was charged in February with two counts<br />of soliciting sex at a day spa in Jupiter, Florida. He has maintained his<br />innocence throughout the<br />case, refusing to take a plea deal. Kraft’s lawyers argued that police violated<br />the fourth amendment of spa customers<br />when installing their hidden cameras. The judge agreed, ruling that the investigator’s<br />search warrant was “insufficient,” as it did not<br />properly define the parameters of their cameras. Judge Leonard Hanser,<br />via statement Evidence from a traffic stop used<br />afterwards to confirm Kraft’s identity has<br />also been thrown out as a result of the ruling. Kraft’s next step will likely be filing a motion<br />to dismiss the case, although prosecutors<br />are still able to appeal the judge’s ruling.
