Patriots owner Robert Kraft apologized in his first public comment since he was charged with solicitation last month after visiting a Florida day spa.
"I am truly sorry," Kraft, 77, said in a statement, ESPN reported. "I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard."
Kraft's attorney released a statement Friday night disputing the charges and questioning how the evidence was obtained.
Authorities charged Kraft in February with two counts of soliciting another to commit prostitution, a misdemeanor, after he was videotaped at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in January.
Kraft has pleaded not guilty to the charges and will not accept a plea deal.
