NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Lawrence Taylor has come clean, if you could call it that.

The pro football Hall-of-Famer now apparently admits he paid for sex with a 16-year-old prostitute, who, Taylor was told, was 19, according to documents in the case.

The insight into Taylor's case came from papers filed Friday against the girl's alleged pimp, Rasheed Davis.

In the documents, which refer to Taylor only as "Client-1" and the 16-year-old as "Victim-1," police claim Taylor admitted to taking a car service from Newark International airport to a Holiday Inn north of New York City to meet the victim.

After "engaging in sex acts" with the victim, he paid her $300 in cash, the complaint says. Davis, the girl's alleged pimp, had told the Giants legend that the girl was 19, according to the documents.

A federal magistrate ordered Davis held without bail after prosecutors said they suspect the defendant forced other young women into prostitution.

Taylor, 51, was charged May 6 in Suffern, N.Y., with third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute. His lawyer, Arthur Aidala, has denied the charges.

A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was the NFL Most Valuable Player in 1986 and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986.

The weight-loss company NutriSystem Inc. said last Friday it had dropped Taylor as a spokesman because of his arrest.

Some women are just too silly to stay with a cheating mate just to say that have a man!

If Lawrence Taylor PAID $300.00 for SEX-INTERCOURSE with someone other than his wife he should LOOK like a VILLAIN to his wife Lynette Taylor!

Allegedly Lawrence Taylor admitted he paid $300 for sex but he thought the girl was 19: well the person he made a freewill choice to have sexual-intercourse with WAS not his wife Lynette Taylor

If you are ONE with your wife or husband it stands to reason that if you can cheat on your mate you will most undoubtedly cheat on yourself!
Each time Lynette Taylor kisses Lawrence Taylor will she think about how many other women germs she might be kissing as well!

It is not about the RAPE-LAW due to age consent only it is about Lawrence Taylor unfaithfulness to his WIFE Lynette Taylor!

If Lawrence Taylor was set up he did it to himself! He should have been on the phone with his wife Lynette Taylor letting her know that he was about to invite Aids, HIV, Chlamydia, Genital warts, Herpes, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Syphilis and possibility a BABY into their marriage! Lawrence Taylor was doing what CREEPS to CREEP.

Remember God will allow wrong actions to get exposed to help one to stop doing wrongful things!

The word of God let us know why we should not swear concerning what a person will or will not do because we do not know the heart (MIND) of another person.

This man choose to buy sex that night knowing it was against the law, this opens him up to all legal liability during the process of that crime, regardless of what words were said between the pimp the victim and the buyer actions speak louder than words.

So what if the vic told him she was 19 so what that she took the money to give to the pimp, she was under forced duress having just received a beating from the pimp.

Since when are pimps know for there honesty?
What pimp do you know tells the truth to anyone lol most of these comments you people are leaving are a joke, Hey Taylor "buyer beware" lol pimps lie, steal, do drugs etc so poor taylor is a vic here too huh? Guess he should hang out with a better class of crooks
By the way did he not notice the black eye? If he had any morals at all he would have sent her out the door after seeing the condition she was in.

Taylor should confess all and receive his due punishment.
I hope the vic can get back home and sort out her troubles that caused her to run away maybe she can mature to be a law abiding citizen, go to school, work, fall in love have kids get a divorce and live happily ever after just the the rest of us.; Reply to this comment

I totally agree with both comment's why is Taylor the villain when the pimp was at fault here? He should not be charged with rape at all in fact it should not even be in the same sentence with his name! He said it was dark and didn't see the bruises so how could he tell the girl was not 19? I for one have seen many 16 year olds who look 21 or older!

by Wildwood1966 May 10, 2010 3:16 PM EDT: I totally agree! the girl wasn't forced into this deal - the pimp needs to be on trial and put his sorry butt in jail - the football player can be accussed of "bad judgement' but hey this is the oldest profession in teh book - I do not agree with it but it is what it is - wrong party in trouble here -; Reply to this comment


by porcine_aviator May 10, 2010 11:41 AM EDT: Why is this guy considered the "villian". The real villain here is the pimp, Rasheed Davis, who needs to prostituted to every HIV infected prisoner in the joint. All this guy is guity of is being a celebrity horndog. Was Taylor supposed to conduct a full background check with his rent a lover prior to playing naughty?; Reply to this comment
