The NFL on Monday said it "will take appropriate action" against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who has been accused of soliciting prostitution, if necessary.
The football league's new statement on Kraft came three days after police in Florida said that the billionaire would be charged in connection with a wide-ranging prostitution probe there.
Kraft's lawyer has denied police claims that he visited a massage parlor in Jupiter, Fla., and paid for sexual services there at least twice.
The NFL said: "Our Personal Conduct Policy applies equally to everyone in the NFL. We will handle this allegation in the same way we would handle any issue under the Policy."
"We are seeking a full understanding of the facts, while ensuring that we do not interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation. We will take appropriate action as warranted based on the facts."
Kraft's Patriots won their record-tying sixth Super Bowl earlier this month.
