Football great Lawrence Taylor was officially declared a sex offender Tuesday for bedding a teen runaway - and faced his victim for the first time since their fateful May encounter.
Taylor was sentenced to six years probation in Rockland County Court for patronizing a prostitute and sexual misconduct.
This all seems like overkill to me. He did not know the girl was 16 or that she was beaten or anything else. I not a fan of adultery or underage prostitution, but it seems the most he should have gotten was a fine and to have his sentence taken under advisement for a year or so and then dismissed.
