Lawrence Taylor Agrees To Plea Deal

NEW CITY, N.Y. - Former star NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges related to his conduct with a 16-year-old prostitute who turned out to be a runaway from New York.

Taylor, who has a home in Pembroke Pines, will not have to serve a day in jail for his guilty plea. Taylor pleaded guilty to charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute.

Taylor was originally charged with third-degree rape, patronizing a prostitute, sexual abuse, and endangering a child. LT, as he known during his playing days, refused to take a plea deal for months.

Taylor was a member of the New York Giants when the team won Super Bowls in 1987 and 1991.
