Hall of Fame linebacker Taylor accused of rape
51-year-old former New York Giants great allegedly commits crime in hotel

SUFFERN, N.Y. - Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Thursday in connection with a reported rape in the New York City suburbs, police said. The victim reportedly was a 15-year-old girl.

Ramapo Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said the former New York Giants linebacker had not been formally charged, but that police were investigating a reported rape that occurred earlier Thursday at a hotel in Montebello.

According to lohud.com, the victim was underage and was beaten during the attack. Taylor was charged with third-degree rape, the web site reported.

Police said they would hold a news conference Thursday afternoon. They did not immediately respond to questions about the circumstances of the arrest and whether Taylor, 51, had a lawyer.

Taylor was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999 and competed in ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” last year. He had a highly publicized struggle with drug addiction and has had multiple legal run-ins in retirement.

A quick, fierce and athletic linebacker who redefined his position, Taylor anchored the Giants’ defense and led New York to Super Bowls titles in 1987 and 1991. He was selected to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.

A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1986 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986. He recorded 132.5 sacks, which doesn’t included the 9.5 sacks in 1981 when the statistic wasn’t official.

In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack.

In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program.

In 2000, he drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.

The Journal News reported that Taylor is being charged with third-degree rape, a charge involving intercourse with a minor.

According to the newspaper, the alleged victim in the case is a 15-year-old girl who apparently is a runaway from New York City. The girl was treated at a hospital following the incident, according to the Journal News.

"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," Christopher P. St. Lawrence, the supervisor of the town of Ramapo, told the Journal News. "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."

An uncle of the girl contacted New York City police, according to the Journal News.

Nothing. OJ Simpson is still in the HOF and he killed two people. League will use LT as an example to younger players of what they don't want anymore in the NFL.

I didn't believe it at first, especially the way the first story was writte, until it was released that she was a hooker and the beating could have come from the pimp. I don't see LT, for all his stupidity, as someone who would attack and rape someone, especially a young girl. I DO see him as someone who would order a hooker, not realize she was underage (don't ask, don't tell), something goes wrong or the girl doesn't pay daddy all she's supposed to, gets beat up by the pimp, goes to hospital, everything gets leaked, and then he gets busted for sex with a minor. Yes, that seems like him.

Bill Parcells said a few years ago, "Lawrence is all about channeling. There is so much boiling and roiling inside that man, he needs a way for those things to come out. As a football player it was easy. I know the challenges he faces to deal with those internal issues every day now that he isn’t playing every day.”

This sounds right. Would have to say growing up in NYC in the eighties Taylor was one of my favorite all-time players. These guys definitely are not role models. Last week it was Tiger, this week it is Taylor, and next week it will be someone else.

In all honesty, this is just terrible. A 15-year old? Seriously?! This world can be so, so sick!

Really sad, speaking of that, a couple of years ago here a 12 year old girl was raped by an ice cream man.

Even worse she got pregnant, it really bothered me even tho I didn't her or her family.

Because he has no history of doing it? Because he doesn't fit the profile of a rapist? Because he wouldn't need to? Because rapists don't magically start raping in their forties?
