Lawrence Taylor, a Hall of Fame linebacker for the New York Giants from 1981 to 1993 and contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" Season 8 with Edyta Sliwinska, has been indicted by a grand jury in New York on charges of rape, criminal sexual act and sexual abuse.
Rockland Country District Attorney Thomas Zugibe says the girl claims she was verbally threatened and physically assaulted. She says she was taken to the hotel room by a pimp, who was later arrested by NYC police.
Taylor is denying the charges, claiming he didn't know the girl was 16 years old. However, ignorance of the girl's age is not a defense in the eyes in the law, according to ESPN.

I'm not defending the guy, because I know nothing about the case, but I will say this...I have gone to high school with 16 year-olds that literally look like 25. Young girls accentuate themselves to look older now-a-days, and unless you I.D. them, you'd never think they were in high school. But again, I can't defend the guy because I wasn't there.
He's been doing this for years, he just got caught, he would mess around with underage girls back in the NFL....
he should just stay with girls like Edyta Sliwinska well worth the 300 dollars lol
They just passed a law here that guys who claim "I didn't know" about a girl's age can no longer be used as a defense. Glad to see that's already the case there.
@Ell- So you're saying when I wanna go out with a girl, I need to ask for her drivers license every time? That's ridiculous. And what about girls that look way older than they are, and lie about their age? Ell, you are just the typical feminist that only sees in black and white and uses no common sense.
