NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor was charged this week with the statutory rape of a 16-year-old runaway who was allegedly forced into prostitution. Taylor, 51, allegedly paid $300 to have sex with the girl at a Holiday Inn in suburban New York. The girl told the New York Post that the man acting as her pimp beat her and instructed her to lie about her age to the former New York Giants star. Police say that Taylor has admitted to “engaging in sex acts” with the girl. Taylor is free on $75,000 bond.
