Lawrence Taylor just pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges as part of one helluva plea deal in his statutory rape case -- and will get off with no jail time but will have to register as a sex offender.
The NFL Hall of Famer was in court in Rockland County, NY ... and pled guilty to one count of patronizing a prostitute and one count of sexual misconduct -- all stemming from his arrest last May for having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
Taylor was originally charged with a felony ... and could have gotten 4 years in prison. Instead he'll get probation -- but as part of the plea deal he has to register as a sex offender. 
Taylor has homes in Florida and New Jersey.

What's more shocking, the slap on the wrist plea bargin, or the fact that LT wasn't already a registered sex offender before this "incident"?

some of you are saying "money talks"
what we chould say is MONEY WALKS!
you know he only took the plea bargain after his high priced lawyer saw the prosecutors case and the facts/evidence whatever you want to call it
the lawyer then knew for a certainty that he'd be convicted of a greater offence and receive jail time if he went to trial
that is the only time/reason that a lawyer would convince his client to take this plea
this means we'll never know the complete story
which means that I'm greatly disappointed in LT - knowing there is more to this
and knowing that a man who truly believes his own innocence would never plead out to this kind of charge- espeicially when he has the money for lawyers to fight this

Anyone can see a setup. But did they accomplish their goal to get out of the hall of fame?

See, only in America can a wealthy ex football player can walk away from charges he raped a child and all he has to do is register as a sex offender. THIS is why med rape and kill women so easily. This pig belongs in jail for what he did to a CHILD. People are you all as sick as he is? You either defend him and say it was a set up or say money got him off. But what the hell are any of you doing to stop this kind of crap from happening??? At least I volunteer at a shelter for rape victims. Where's your giving a damn about women in this country? Or are you all just too blinded by washed up fame

Was the hooker an under aged black girl? Why isnt Al Sharpton protesting this plea deal? LT raped her! Oh, Al Sharpton is providing security for LT I see.

Lawrence Taylor had the "dime", so he does'nt have to do the time...Money makes the guilty very much innocent in our justice system..Watch out for your children (16 and under)parents, Lawrence Taylor is out looking for a SACK!!!

Lawrence Taylor. Anyone who makes excuses for him after this should be ashamed of themselves. The man brings shame to the proud Giants franchise. One man's opinion.

please people have you NOT heard of statutory rape? Which is what it IS called when you have sex with a minor whether she is a prostute or not.
