Police in Jupiter, Florida, are charging New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft with soliciting prostitution.

Police say the 77-year-old billionaire is connected to a wide-ranging prostitution investigation involving multiple massage parlors.

Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr at a press conference earlier today said he was "equally stunned as everybody else."

A spokesperson for Kraft said he categorically denies the charges.
