Former New York Giants great Lawrence Taylor was arrested for rape in New York, CBS 2 has learned. Taylor, 51, was taken into custody by the Town of Ramapo police after being accused of raping someone in the Holiday Inn Holidome Hotel in Suffern. Details surrounding the rape have not yet been released other than the location and that it occurred early this morning. Charges against the Hall of Fame linebacker will be filed once police complete their investigation. A news conference is expected later Thursday afternoon where police will reveal more details. Taylor, affectionately known by his fans as גL.T.,ג spent his entire career with the Giants and is considered one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history.
The details of the arrest of Lawrence Taylor are now filtering out of New York and the Hall of Fame linebacker has been charged with raping a 15-year-old girl, who the Westchester Journal News reported had run away from New York and was controlled by a pimp.
Taylor was arrested at the Holiday Inn in Ramapo and is being held in the jail until a court appearance this afternoon at the Ramapo Justice Court. Taylor has been charged with third-degree rape and that charge involves having sex with a minor. The girl was allegedly beaten during the rape.
According to police, the girl was brought to the Holiday Inn to meet Taylor, who has a long history of substance abuse, by the pimp.
"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," Ramapo police supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told the Journal News. "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."
Police were summoned after the victim sent a text message to an uncle as the pimp drove her to the Bronx. The Ramapo police department was dispatched to the Holiday Inn where it found Taylor and the hotel room was secured as a crime scene.
A news conference is expected to be held later today.

I still believe to this day that Mike didn't do it. No bitch that comes over to YOUR hotel room in the late night hours is going just to talk. She's going to get piped. Fuck Desiree Washington
"(CNN) -- The man accused of bringing an under-age prostitute to ex-NFL player Lawrence Taylor told her to lie about her age, prosecutors alleged in a federal complaint against the man on Friday.
The complaint says the alleged pimp, Rasheed Davis, told a 16-year-old prostitute to tell a "Client-1" that she was 19. The federal complaint against Davis does not refer to the former New York Giants linebacker by name, but the description of "Client-1" matches that of Taylor in the complaint against him."

That trail was and still is a travesty of justice. Desiree already had a false rape allegation against a high school classmate and athlete but because of bullshit rape shield laws can't bring that up. Prosecutors in Indiana at least at that time got to pick the Judge in rape cases. Don King hires Mike a fucking tax lawyer to defend him. Desiree verifiable lies on the stand and no retrial nor charges brought up against her.
I think a vast majority of athlete-related rape accusations are complete fabrications. Think about the risk involved in picking up some hot tail and smashing it, especially if you are drunk/high. Women arenגt stupid, they know they can become rich even if they consent to sex. This causes athletes to perhaps lower their bench mark and mess with some mentally unstable women in hopes of fucking and getting out unharmed. The problem athletes have is that they canגt peruse and fuck women like normal guys.
Putting the Chumuras' of the world aside, I think most athletes are victims of scandalous, cut throat, money-grubbing women whose objective is to fuck over any athlete they can lure into their web of deceit.
They say he didn't fuck her, just that he was involved in a "mastubatory act" sounds like he will probably have to register wherever he goes. Think pulling a Polanski is in order.
