New York Giants great LT indicted on rape charges

Lawrence Taylor, a New York Giants legendary linebacker and NFL Hall-of-Famer, has been indicted by a New York grand jury for various charges involving the alleged hiring of a 16 year old prostitute. Charges include: third degree rape, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child, and patronizing a prostitute.

On May 6, 2010, LT was arrested at a Holiday Inn in Ramapo, NY, where he allegedly paid a 16 year old girl $300 to have sex.

Taylor, a 10 time Pro Bowler, helped lead his New York team to SuperBowl victories in 1987 and 1991.

Taylor is scheduled to appear July 13 in Rockland County, where the case was transferred from Ramapo Town Court.

Lawrence also appeared on Season 8 of ABC's Dancing With The Stars, where he appeared with partner Edyta  Sliwinska. He made it through to Week 7 on the show after strong support from the fans and swift footwork.
