ootball Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested in a Rockland hotel overnight and charged with raping a 15-year-old girl, who apparently was a runaway from New York City controlled by a pimp, authorities said this morning.

The 51-year-old former New York Giants linebacker was taken into custody by Ramapo police at the Holiday Inn off Airmont Road, Ramapo Police Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said

Taylor was being held in the town police lockup pending arraignment in Ramapo Justice Court this afternoon. He is being charged with third-degree rape, a charge that involves having intercourse with a minor.

The victim was reportedly beaten during the attack.

Taylor, a football icon and one of the NFL's greatest defensive players, has a history of drug abuse and other run-ins with the law. He has tested positive for cocaine several times during his NFL career and has been arrested for buying cocaine from undercover police officers.

Taylor, who has a home in New Jersey, told police he was a resident of Pembroke Pines, Fla. He has frequently played golf in Rockland.

Ramapo police were planning a news conference later this afternoon to provide more details in the case.

The victim apparently was a runaway from the Bronx who was brought by a pimp to the Holiday Inn where Taylor was staying, Ramapo Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence said this morning.

The girl got beaten up at the hotel, authorities said, and later needed treatment at a hospital.

"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," St. Lawrence said. "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."

The police got involved after the girl texted her uncle as the pimp drove her down to the Bronx, St. Lawrence said. The uncle called the New York City Police Department and officers met the pimp's car in the city, St. Lawrence said.

The police took statements from the girl, arrested the pimp and called the Ramapo Police Department, who sent officers to the hotel to investigate.

Police secured the scene in the hotel room, gathered evidence and sent detectives to New York City as part of the investigation.

Sooner or later his fame as a player isn't going to carry him past his legal issues.. and hopefully he doesn't get a free pass here.. lock him up.. and try and help him overcome his demons.

And I just watched some of a program on I think A&E.. Fame and Recovery or something like that.. dude may never kick his demons.

Probably not as messed up as it's being made to sound.

LT called for a hooker, and the pimp delivered a 16 year old. What's he supposed to do, ask her for ID? And apparently she'd been punched before she got to LT's room - likely by said pimp.

Still, whether or not he knew her age, if they had sex he'll be (unjustly) charged with rape because she's underage.

The pimp is the one who should be crucified for this, not LT.

Er, isn't prostitution illegal over there? If it is, LT is in just as much trouble for soliciting it.

That's how the law in every country works. There is only one country in the world (one of those island nations -- Samoa or Tonga, maybe) in which not knowing the age of a girl -- or thinking she's of age -- is a valid defense. In every other country, she could present you with a picture ID indicating she is of age, and that will not absolve the man of responsibility if she turns out to be a minor. It's ridiculous.
