Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor has been indicted on charges of rape, criminal sexual act, and sexual abuse by a New York grand jury.The indictment stems from his May 6 arrest for involvement with an underage street walker. Taylor claims he had know idea that the prostitute was only 16-years-of-age. She was allegedly hand delivered via a pimp. According to reports the pimp beat her, not Taylor. The Bishop Don Magic Juan wannabe was also arrested.
According to an ESPN report , Taylor was also indicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and patronizing a prostitute.
L.T.'s had so many opportunities in his life and this is clearly another setback for him. I hope that this will somehow shake Taylor up. He's facing some real jail time here. Dude has to recognize that celebrity is fleeting, and just because you were a sack master and defensive juggernaut 20 years ago doesn't mean you can get away with making bad choices in 2010. Maybe you could do coke and get 15.5 sacks in 88, but that star doesn't shine as brightly today.
Definitely not a good day for L.T.
Awful news about one of the greatest players ever. He's been a troubled soul for a long time and now will (hopefully) get the help he needs... behind bars.
