A new report suggests that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft may not be the biggest name involved in a prostitution sting in Florida.
Kraft, 77, was one of the dozens charged in the sting on Friday, but other warrants are expected in the case, and ESPN reporter Adam Schefter believes a 'bigger name' may be charged.
'I'm also told that Robert Kraft is not the biggest name involved down there in South Florida,' Schefter said on the network.
Jupiter, Florida, where the sting centered, is home to many celebrities and legendary retired athletes, including some of the most recognizable names in PGA Tour and NBA history.

People mill around in front of the Orchids of Asia Day Spa on Friday. Police charging documents allege the business provided 'rub and tug' services
At a press conference on Friday, Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said that no one more prominent than Kraft had been charged in the case. But he also said that the investigation was ongoing, and additional arrests are possible.
The possibility of more high-profile arrests followed the bombshell allegation that the billionaire Kraft had been caught on police surveillance cameras receiving sexual services at a strip mall massage parlor.
The 77-year-old was charged with paying for sexual services at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida on two occasions. He has not been arrested, according to police, but a misdemeanor warrant has been issued.
Through a spokesperson, Kraft has denied the allegations: 'We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity. Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.'
Under the NFL's personal conduct policy, Kraft could face league penalties. The policy not only applies to owners, but holds them to a stricter standard.
According to the policy, 'ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more significant discipline when violations of the Personal Conduct Policy occur.'

Charging documents in the prostitution ring case indicate that police built their case based in part on reviews of Orchids of Asia on a website called 'RubMaps.com,' which investigators describe as a 'forum based website which allows customers … to discuss their individual experiences at illicit massage parlors.'
Jupiter Police Detective Andrew Sharp wrote in an arrest warrant that reviews indicated that Orchids was a 'rub and tug' massage parlor, referring to the 'slang term which identifies a business as providing sexual services, specifically manually manipulating the male genitals until the point of climax.'
'Under the name Orchids of Asia Day Spa, several posting were located from February 2015 to March 2018. The postings detailed visits involving Asian females providing sexual acts, as well as massage/body rubs in exchange for payment,' Sharp wrote.
'The majority of the posts advised the female employee would provide the male client with a 'hand job,'' Sharp wrote.
The spa was one of 10 that were reportedly shut down in Florida after a seven-month investigation found women in 'sexual servitude,' according to arrest records. About 200 arrest warrants have been issued in recent days and more are expected.
According to Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder, women were forced to live in the spa and were prevented from leaving. Many of the women, Snyder explained, came from China.
Kraft is one of 25 men being specifically charged with soliciting another to commit prostitution, according to Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr.

The NFL did not immediately respond to a message Friday seeking comment. Under league policy, players, owners, coaches and other employees can be punished for 'conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in' the NFL.
'Ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more significant discipline when violations of Personal Conduct Policy occur,' the policy says.
