New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been ordered to appear in a Florida court next month for arraignment on solicitation of prostitution charges, according to court papers filed Thursday.

The 77-year-old billionaire must appear in Palm Beach County court for the hearing, which was rescheduled from March 27 to the next day at 9 a.m., the records show.

Kraft pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges last month.

He was one of hundreds of alleged johns charged with paying workers at various massage parlors for sex acts.

Prosecutors accused Kraft of visiting the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter twice — including on Jan. 20, just hours before the Patriots won the AFC Championship.

“We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity,” a spokesman for Kraft and the team said. “Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further.”
