LT was Blindsided
For years, Lawrence Taylor victimized QBs by attacking them from their blind side (unless you were a freak lefty, then you saw him hit you.) If you don’t believe me, ask Joe Theismann. In fact, he was the most feared pass rusher of his time and even helped Sandra Bullock win an Oscar. However, LT was finally the victim of a blind side attack.
In May 2010, LT hooked up with a 19-year old prostitute in New York that his friend set up for him. However, this girl turned out to be a) a teenage runaway who was forcefully coerced by his friend into sleeping with LT for money and b) lying about her age as she was a week shy of 17, the age of consent in NY. Charges of statutory rape were brought against LT, but he reached a plea agreement and was found guilty of lesser charges. He is now on probation for six years and will register as a sex offender. His friend got prison, up to nine years.
If they discover LT knew the girl was held against her will and/or underage, then he is a scumbag. However, how should he know? LT told Fox News last week, "I don't card them. I don't ask for a birth certificate." In today’s world, a lot of girls look older than they actually are. It’s possible a 16 year old looks 19. Also, prostitution is a victimless crime. Some may consider it gross or wrong, but who is the victim? Two people consensually agree to have sex for money.
LT has abused drugs and hookers all of his life. He isn’t a good role model, but he doesn’t claim to be. The only thing LT should be guilty of is having a shitty friend. He should be allowed to live his life. He should be allowed to play golf; he should be allowed to pursue horrific acting roles; he should be allowed to be the greatest defensive player in Tecmo Super Bowl history. However, he should have been allowed to pay his fine for banging a hooker and then have to answer to Mrs. Taylor, his ultimate judge. Instead, kids can’t go trick or treating by his house and he won’t be giving away any ham sandwiches anytime soon. And that’s a real shame.
