May 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Fifty-one year old former NFL super star Lawrence Taylor, who played for the New York Giants, has been arrested for rape, according to reports coming from CBS station WCBS-TV in New York City. The arrest took place in Rockland County by the Town of Ramapo Police. Taylor stands accused of raping someone in the Holidome Hotel in Montebello, which is north of New York City.
Details of the incident have not yet been released, other than the location where it allegedly occurred, and that it took place early this morning. Charges have not yet been filed against the Hall of Fame linebacker, but police say that they will be “upon completion of our investigation.” A news conference is expected to take place sometime this afternoon. The football star had a minor skirmish with the law last November when he left the scene of an accident and was later arrested, and has been taken into custody several times on drug charges since retiring form football in 1993. He was said to have been clean and sober since 1998.
Lawrence Taylor is affectionately called “LT” by his fans. His retirement in 93 came after he had spent his entire 12 year NFL career with the New York Giants. The team won the Superbowl twice while he was on the team. He has been considered to be the greatest defense player of all time by the media, as well as other football players and coaches.
