Former New York Giant great Lawrence Taylor has been arrested by Ramapo police, and charged with raping a 15-year-old girl early Thursday morning at a Holiday Inn hotel.
Taylor, who as a history of drug abuse, is being charged with third-degree rape, which involves having intercourse with a minor.
The Westchester Journal News is reporting the girl was a runaway from New York and was controlled by a pimp. Taylor was arrested at the Holiday Inn in Ramapo and is being held in the jail until a court appearance this afternoon.
According to police, the girl was brought to the Holiday Inn to meet Taylor by the pimp.
"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," Ramapo police supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told the Journal News. "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."
Police were summoned after the victim sent a text message to an uncle as the pimp drove her to the Bronx.
Additional information will be released later today at a press conference that is tentatively scheduled for sometime between 2:00 and 4:00pm at the Town of Ramapo Town Hall.
