Cocaine's A Helluva Drug!: Lawrence Taylor arrested for rape of 15yr old girl

So I'm thinking official last words from the backseat of a police car: "What! She was 15?? Hell naw son, somebody musta slipped some crack rocks in my Nutrisystem, or sumthin!!"

The former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was arrested early Thursday morning and will be charged with third-degree rape involving a 15-year-old girl at a hotel in Montebello, N.Y., according to police.

The Journal News reported that the girl was a runaway from the Bronx who was taken to the Holiday Inn in Montebello by a pimp, according to Ramapo supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence. She was treated at a hospital.

“She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved,” Mr. St. Lawrence told the Journal News. “She got punched in the face. We’re not sure who did it.”

The police have scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. to discuss the case, and have said Mr. Taylor will be arraigned on third-degree rape charges this afternoon because the victim is a minor.

Mr. Taylor, 51, lists his residence as Pembroke Pines, Fla., but he also owns a home in northern New Jersey. Montebello, a village in Rockland County about 25 miles north of New York City, is close to the New York-New Jersey state line; the hotel is located just off the New York Thruway.

Sucks to be Lawrence Taylor right now especially with his well known checkered past of drug abuse. He was the guy that I truly rooted for to stay on the right path while traveling down the road of recovery. Something tells me that drugs was involved - it's the only way (I think) he would have been in a situation like that where a pimp and a hooker is involved. I could be wrong, but I doubt seriously whether 15yr old prostitutes are complimentary services these days; and, usually when there's drugs and a hotel room, there are women. Even he has admitted to this in an interview on 60 Minutes some years ago.

I mean, when you're Lawrence Taylor, and you're in New York City where you've lead the home team to two Super bowl victories? Chances are, you don't have to pay to get laid; people pay you just to be seen with you, whether you're a recovering addict or not. Oh well, too bad he's retired and in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If he were a current white player with a recent Super Bowl victory, maybe the charges would be dropped, and all he would have to serve is a six game suspension.

This is gonna be quite interesting as it unfolds, folks.
