Former New York Giants star Lawrence Taylor has been arrested in conjunction with a rape investigation in suburban New York, according to local authorities.
LoHud.com, the website for The Journal News, reported that the alleged victim in the case is a 15-year-old girl from New York.
“She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved,” Rampano (N.Y.) police supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told The Journal News. “She got punched in the face. We’re not sure who did it.”
Also according to The Journal News, Taylor is being charged with third-degree rape, which is essentially the state’s statutory rape charge. However, Ramapo (N.Y.) police detective Lt. Brad Weidel told the Associated Press that Taylor had not been formally charged.
The Town of Ramapo Police Department website says it is “currently investigating a reported rape that occurred 5/6/10 in the early am hours at the Holidome Hotel in Montebello, N.Y. Currently under arrest is Lawrence J. Taylor DOB 2/4/59 of Pembroke Pines, FLA. Formal charges will be filed upon the completion of our investigation.”
A news conference is planned for Thursday afternoon at which authorities say additional information will be released.
Taylor, 51, played 13 NFL seasons, all for the Giants, from 1981 to 1993. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

Man why can we not act like elders at our age, and stop this BS. I am tried of Black men who keep acting as if they are in High School. It does not help our youth.
This isn’t the first time Taylor has been in trouble since football. So far, he has avoided jail time. This time he may well be looking at an Orange Jumpsuit as his new team colors…
Following his release on $75k bail, his attorney said he just wanted to go home and be with his wife.
I don’t know about Taylor’s wife – but most guys right about then would be avoiding any woman carrying a heavy implement like a pan…
I can’t believe she even let him back in the house.
