New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft apologized Saturday in his first public comments since he was charged as part of a human trafficking probe in Florida, saying he hopes to earn the “confidence and respect" of his family, friends, and Patriots fans.

“I am truly sorry,” Kraft said in his statement. “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.”

In his statement, Kraft said the “last thing I would ever want to do is disrespect another human being.” The Patriots owner referenced his wife of nearly 50 years, Myra Kraft, who died of ovarian cancer, saying he has “extraordinary respect for women.”

“As I move forward, I hope to continue to use the platform with which I have been blessed to help others and to try to make a difference,” Kraft said. “I expect to be judged not by my words, but by my actions. And through those actions, I hope to regain your confidence and respect.”

It's a juicy story, he has disgraced the Patriots in my opinion.  Even, if he beats the charges.

Oh...Ok then.
He said he's sorry. So, you know, forget about it.
The fact that he is a multi-billionaire had nothing to do with it at all. I promise...

Now that he's confessed, can we skip to the sentencing and the forfeiture of his NFL franchise?

I mean, Marge Schott lost everything for far less.
