NFL legend Lawrence Taylor arrested and charged with failing to report move as sex offender again
NFL legend and former New York Giants star Lawrence Taylor was arrested in Florida this week and charged again with failing to report a residence change as a sex offender.
The 65-year-old former linebacker was one of the greatest players in the league, but his legacy was tainted with scandal after he was arrested in 2010 on rape and prostitution charges in connection with the assault of a 16-year-old girl.
In that case, he pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute, both misdemeanors, in 2011, NBC Sports reported. He claimed the minor told him she was 19. Ultimately, he avoided jail time but was sentenced to six years probation and to register as a sex offender.
Taylor turned himself in to the Broward County Sheriffs Office in Florida on Wednesday on a felony warrant, the sheriffs office said. The reason was his failure to report a residence change as a registered sex offender, the Pembroke Pines Police Department said.
