Aww LT,
say it isn't so, man.
Hall of Fame football linebacker Lawrence Taylor was charged Thursday with rape and patronizing a prostitute in a case involving a 16-year-old girl, police in Ramapo, New York, said.
Taylor's attorney said the former New York Giants star denied the charges and will fight them.
"My client did not have sex with anybody. Period," Arthur Aidala said, adding: "Lawrence Taylor did not rape anybody."
Taylor appeared at an afternoon court hearing where a judge set bail at $75,000. Taylor was not asked to enter a plea and left the courthouse after posting bail.
Seeing television cameras outside the courthouse, Taylor said, "I'm not that important" as he walked away.
Taylor, 51, was arrested in a Holiday Inn room a few hours after the alleged rape took place, according to Christopher St. Lawrence, the town supervisor and police commissioner in Ramapo, about 30 miles northwest of New York City.
Police Chief Peter Brower said Taylor was charged with third-degree rape, a felony, for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with someone younger than 17. Taylor also was charged with third-degree patronization for allegedly paying the underage victim $300 to have sex, Brower said.
According to Brower, the rape charge carries a possible four-year prison term, and the patronization charge, a misdemeanor, could bring up to a year in prison.
Honestly. You're Lawrence Taylor. You have to go bang a prostitute? Ugh. Really.
You have to go bang a prostitute?
ReplyDeleteWhen you're famous, sometimes you do.
Normally, prostitutes are happy with their $300.
Many other women, however, expect more than just money. Some of them much more.
The clincher is that it's easy to know what a prostitute expects. But you can't be sure what a "respectable" woman really wants. And the ones who want "too much" conceal it until it's too late.
