L.T. Charged With Sex Crimes

First of all, this is Lawrence Taylor, not Ladanian Tomlinson. The media must have been out of nicknames at that time. Taylor has been charged with 3 degree rape and patronizing a prostitute. The story that has been released is that he had sex with a 16 year old woman who was forced into prostitution by someone else. Police have stated that she was driven to a hotel (the Holiday Inn) where she was paid $300 to have sex with Taylor. Taylor's lawyer has said that they will fight this charge and that Taylor did not do this.

A new low for Lawrence Taylor indeed. Another athlete (well former) accused of a sex crime. I worry though that he will not be convicted. True if he is innocent, he should be let go. But we've had sex crimes brought against Kobe and Big Ben and they have beat the charges. CAN ANY PROSECUTOR CONVICT AN ATHLETE OF RAPE? We'll found out in the coming months

P.S. And no. The Holiday Inn is not a product placement. Unless you're a pimp.
