How did she end up in the hotel with him? That’s what I want to know.
If you don’t take shady women into Hotels with you, you lessen the chance of being charged with rape.

In some of the reporting that has come out subsequent to this very short story, it has been alleged that her pimp brought her to Taylor's room, against her will. Apparently, her pimp has been arrested and charged with several other crimes. ESPN has a lengthy, and updated piece, if you're interested. She is allegedly 15 or 16 years old. 17 is the age of consent, so if she's under that, clearly she's not old enough to consent.
