New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty won’t rush to judgment of his boss, team owner Robert Kraft.
Kraft is facing two misdemeanor charges of solicitation of prostitution. He was ensnared during a sex-trafficking sting operation that resulted in charges against about 300 people for their alleged involvement in the prostitution in the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida, and numerous other similar businesses.
“When you see things come out like that, you really have to just let it play out,” McCourty told NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran on Friday. “See what it is, what it isn’t, and go from there.”
McCourty added: “For me, RKK (Kraft) has been a great person to lean on as far as social justice stuff, a guy to lean on, a guy to talk to, always present in the locker room, always there to talk to guys. I’ve had the opportunity to build that kind of relationship with him. With what’s transpired you really just have to let it play out and see what happens.”
Kraft has denied wrongdoing. Police, however, say they have video evidence of Kraft committing the crimes for which he is charged.
