NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) – Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute.
The 51-year-old ex-linebacker will get no jail time following his plea Thursday.
Taylor was arrested in May at a suburban New York hotel. He was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old prostitute who turned out to be a Bronx runaway.
