Lawrence Taylor’s son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for statutory rape and child molestation

Lawrence Julius Taylor, nicknamed “L.T.”, is an American former professional football player who spent his entire career as a linebacker for the New York Giants in the National Football League.

Aside having an outstanding career in the NFL, Lawrence Taylor was also known for involving himself in some scandals, mostly relating to drugs and wrong lifestyle choices.

Lawrence Taylor’s son,  Lawrence Taylor Jr. appeared to have followed in the footsteps of his father after involving himself in rape and child molestation.

In May 2015, Lawrence Taylor Jr. followed his football Hall of Fame father into the hall of shame, sharing space with his disgraced dad on the sex offenders list.

The younger Taylor, 33 (at the time of sentencing) was sentenced in an Atlanta courtroom to 10 years in jail and another 20 years of probation after pleading guilty to child molestation and statutory rape charges.

Cobb County District Attorney Vic Reynolds said the child molestation charge stems from unwanted sexual contact Taylor had with another juvenile, a 13-year-old girl, in 2013.
