Former New York Giant linebacker Lawrence Taylor has been arrested and charged with raping a 15-year-old girl.

SUFFERN, NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former NFL great Lawrence Taylor has been arrested as part of a rape investigation in a New York suburb, police said on Thursday.
The rape occurred early on Thursday morning at a hotel in Montebello, New York, about 25 miles north of New York City, Ramapo police said in a statement.

"Formal charges will be filed upon the completion of our investigation," the statement said.

The victim was a 15-year-old runaway who was brought by a pimp to the hotel where Taylor was staying, Ramapo Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told the Journal News.

Taylor, one of the greatest linebackers to ever play the game (just ask Joe Theisman), has always had trouble with drugs and alcohol, though most of his previous scrapes with the law were minor offenses.

This is, potentially, much more serious and could result in a lengthy prison sentance if Taylor is convicted.

Like my old TI used to say - "Dammit, be careful! 15 will get you 20 - so make sure you know how old she is no matter HOW willing you both are! Jailbait doesn't always look like it!"

Going from playing football to playing drop the soap is a really big fall. (I couldn't think of a really good DRY HUMPING WITH THE STARS joke).
