7 p.m.
Prosecutors can’t release undercover video of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and others allegedly receiving sex acts at a Florida massage parlor until a Florida judge rules later this month.
The Palm Beach Post reports Circuit Judge Joseph Marx barred the release of any video from the Orchids of Asia Day Spa before an April 29 hearing where he will hear from all parties.
The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office had filed a notice Wednesday saying it believes the videos are public records under Florida law and it plans to release pixilated versions.
Kraft’s attorneys filed an emergency motion Wednesday to block the release.
Kraft was charged in February with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution for allegedly paying for sex at a Jupiter, Florida, spa.
He has pleaded not guilty.
