Lawrence Taylor Hall of Shame Inductee #10 with Shame-O-Meter Rating of 10

New York Giants NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor is the tenth inductee into my Hall of Shame with a Shame-O-Meter Rating of 10. In May 2010 Taylor was arrested for raping a 16-year-old girl at a Holiday Inn located in Rockland County, NY. Taylor’s storied past is well documented for his tremendous play both on the field along with his alcohol & drug use off. LT was the best football player I ever saw. Offensive coordinators would change the entire game plan in an attempt to slow down #56 as he couldn’t be stopped. Unfortunately his hard life off the field caught up with him and there is no excuse for his horrific behavior. Per Ramapo Police, Taylor paid the girl $300 for sex. The teenager sent a text message to her uncle who contacted the NYPD. The NYPD contacted the Ramapo PD who then woke up Taylor and arrested him early in the morning. The teenager was reported missing in March 2010. In January 2011 Taylor pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to six years’ probation with sex-offender status per the Rockland County, NY District Attorney’s office.
"She told me she was 19," Taylor said in court.
