The Florida judge in the Robert Kraft sexual massage case said Wednesday he’ll be treated like any other defendant — which means he must show his face in court at his next hearing.

The New England Patriots owner’s lawyers unsuccessfully argued that he should be able to sit out the May 21 hearing in Palm Beach County court to set the date for his prostitution solicitation trial.

“I am going to consider his case and conduct his case the way I would any other case,” Judge Leonard Hanser told the courtroom, adding he “normally requires people to be here.”

The 77-year-old hasn’t made an appearance in the case. Through his lawyers, Kraft pleaded not guilty last month on charges he paid for sexual services at Orchids of Asia Day spa in Jupiter.

His lawyers returned to court this week to try to convince the judge to throw out in the trial alleged sex videos filmed of their client at the spa.

The court rested Wednesday evening following three days of testimony in the hearing, and the judge is expected to rule on the matter within the next few days.
