that left Patriots owner Robert Kraft facing two misdemeanor counts of solicitation of prostitution, Palm Beach prosecutor Greg Kridos reportedly conceded Friday that"There is no human trafficking that arises out of this investigation."
The admission stands in contrast to earlier statements made by police and prosecutors about the case. In the February 22 press conference held by the Jupiter police department announcing the Orchids of Asia Day Spa bust, Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said,"Obviously, our concern in this investigation centers around the possibility of victims of human trafficking."

The admission came in court Friday during a hearing pertaining the pending issue of whether or not a video that prosecutors say shows Kraft paying for sex can be released, with Kraft's attorney calling it,"basically pornography," according to
