Everybody man your battle stations, because we’ve got breaking news on a Friday afternoon.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who also owns a soccer team and frequently hangs out with Meek Mill and Michael Rubin, is being named in a Florida prostitution sting.

Jupiter police say they have Kraft ON VIDEO in two incidents involving the “Orchids of Asia” day spa:

You can’t make this shit up.

More details via TMZ:

Cops say they have obtained evidence from body cam video and surveillance that has been conducted over the last several months.

Officials say Kraft was driven to the spa by a chauffeur.

The average cost per visit for services is $59 or $79 per hour, according to police.

Kraft will be charged with a misdemeanor and will have to appear in court.

Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in the operation — including Homeland Security, the IRS, the Jupiter P.D.,  Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office and more.

Officials say the women accused of running the sex trafficking ring operated out of local spas which touted themselves as massage parlors.

The investigation took roughly 8 months and officials say they’ve identified more than 100 men suspected of being “Johns.”

Insanity.

It’s “fellate gate” –

I’ll update this post with more information WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

Edit: looks like this is more serious than just an old guy getting his kicks –

Patriots owner Robert Kraft being charged with soliciting prostitution related to what FL police say is a massage parlor where women – who were told they were coming to US for legit jobs – were in fact held as virtual prisoners/sex workers.

Edit 2: Damn!

Adam Schefter just said on SportsCenter that a source told him Kraft is "not the biggest name" caught up in this sting. ……………
