Retired NFL Hall of Famer, Lawrence Taylor, was in the midst of a scandal mid-last year when he was arrested and accused of the rape of a minor. But not until this week did the former star linebacker finally face the music.

As a part of a plea deal, Taylor reportedly pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges in court Thursday (January 13) in New York, stemming from a May 2010 arrest for felony statutory rape.

He is expected to be sentenced to six years of probation, and must register as a sex offender. He's also been ordered to pay $1,300 in fees.

I've always felt a connection with LT as we both have the same name but the connection stops there.

Where exactly does the connection stop? I feel a connection with a certain major recording artist because we have the same taste in music but the connection stops with the Beastie Boys.

I wonder how you can be convicted of rape with a prostitute, given that you paid your bill.

And given that the _resident hasn’t presented his birth certificate, how can you require others to do so? And without that proof, how could you know their age?

I’d have voted not guilty.

She was underage and caveat emptor. If she is 17 years and 364 days old you are a rapist because the law doesn’t recognize the ‘she said/ she looked’.

Was he not already a criminal? Tax evasion and drug use or something like that. If so, what is this in NJ, two strikes and you are “in”? I feel everyone should be given a second chance but when you get the chance number 4 or so, it should be hard time. And this from a Giant fan.

Best practice might be to radiocarbon date anybody you plan on sleeping with at this juncture. What about perverts and sheep, does anybody care how old the sheep is??
