New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is trying to avoid all these scenarios since being charged with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution. Matta surmised that Kraft's wealth, privilege and social capital will likely shield him from life-altering consequences, no matter the case's outcome. But the humiliation of such an alleged video in the public domain is no small matter for a public figure like Kraft, Matta said. Also, if Kraft's lawyers don't have the footage, they can't give it to the NFL if the league asks for it, O'Mara said. The hit to Kraft's public stature could be as bad as it gets, "and I don't discount that," Moskovitz said.
