What do Big Ben and Lawrence Taylor have in common?

That, and being a scumbag. Regardless of whether Taylor thought the girl was 16 or 18 or 19, these disturbing facts remain - Taylor, a 51 year old married man paid to have sex with a prostitute whom he thought was 18ish and showed signs of being physically abused. Married +Cheating + Prostitute + Young girl + Black eye = Scumbag.

Are those facts?

He should be thankful that a couple of years in prison, a ruined marriage, and a further damaged reputation is his "worst-case scenario." In my opinion, the man doesn't deserve the air he's breathing.

Let me be the first to say I don't like LT. Didn't when he was a player and I still don't. He was a great player though.

Having said that, while not trying to defend him, how would you feel if you went out to Vegas and visited the Bunny Ranch and had sex with a girl whom you were informed was 19y/o. Then within a matter of hours your being arrested cause in actuallity she was 16 and it's a Felony to have sex with some under 17?

Don't get me wrong I agree that any married man should not be seeking this kind of servatude. All I can say is I thought most everyone else was in the same boat as me or thought the same way as me when it came to sex. I'm lucky to see it once a month, while others are still going at it twice a day. I was on a 3 month dry spell and I was shocked at how some people are doing so much better then myself and they were shocked at how bad off my situation was even while being married.

So basically I'm not going to judge LT in regards to his seeking relief outside of whatever type of relationship he has ( I thought his wife left him). The law is the law. Did he have sex with a minor? yes. Does the law state he has to know she is underage? no. Maybe this case will change the law up there maybe not. But I'll say it doesn't sound fair when he might have asked the young lady how old she was and she was instructed by her pimp to say she was 19.

LT Lawyer does admit ignorance is not an excuse....

L.T.'s lawyer acknowledges ignorance of age is no defense, sets up Clintonesque defense | ProFootballTalk.com (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/05/07/lts-lawyer-acknowledges-ignorance-of-age-is-no-defense-sets-up-clintonesque-defense/)

a commenter on the PFT Girl said she was 19 story:

I'm, frankly, more concerned that TMZ is able to gain access to FBI documents.

:rofl:

Yeah how though? Drug him or get him drunk? THat usually means the guy can't perform. I am sure there are cases where women rape men, but it is probably like a Basic Instinct type deal where the woman is a psycho and wants to do more than rape the guy.Oh, she can manipulate the "powers of authority" so it appears that the guy has no credibility. If the female going to get on guy no matter what and thus will not heed a verbal refusal, force is not an option for him unless he wants to suffer the consequences of the law and/or ostracization from his acquaintances.

The parasympathetic nervous system plays a large part in erections. One can say "yes" or "no" consciously, but that doesn't guarantee immunity from erection if the woman knows what parts or areas to stimulate and how to stimulate them. A google search of "women raping men" (w/o the quotes) pulls a media report in which rubbing lotion on a guy's umm thingy was a technique used and another report (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/18595822/detail.html#-) where a woman allegedly raped a guy by drugging him.

Niiiccccceeeeee.

Niiiccccceeeeee.
It's doubtful sexual intercourse is nice when one is not saying yes. And if one does says yes to sex, then that means it is consensual, which by implication contradicts one of the constituent properties of rape; namely, the victim did not want to have the intercourse.

Rigth now LT is only guilty of being stupid.

Yeah maybe but as a Giant fan I've had it.I'm 54 years old and I know I'm getting older but ask my kids I just don't put up with the BS I use to and this is BS.On the Giants site I'm on I've made the suggestion that we "unretire "#56 and retire #53.We can talk football and I will defend him till I die ...he was the best ...ever so far but off the field ...damn man enough is enough,it's almost like he thinks well I'm LT and it's ok for me.Look what has happen is wrong on all levels all I was doing is asking some questions becuase the story ...at least to me doesn't sound right.

I've really avoided trying to get into the debate with people, because I dont want to seem like I'm defending anything that even remotley has to do with rape....but I agree 100% with this. Again, ASSUMING everything is fact, is LT a scumbag, probaboly (but we knew that already), but I think its unfair that he's now labeled a rapist. I would think the "pimp" would be the one who should fry.
