The bad news for Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor? He has been exonerated of civil sexual assault charges arising from a 2010 encounter with an underaged prostitute.
In yet another sad footnote to the legacy of a man whose bust in Canton will prompt many parents to nudge their kids along to the next bronzed likeness, Taylor has prevailed in a lawsuit brought by the now-19-year-old woman with whom Taylor had sex for cash more than two years ago, according to the Associated Press.
The jury returned a verdict for Taylor on Friday, after hearing testimony from the woman and from the former Giant.
Taylor’s lawyer had called the case a money grab. And while the jury may have been repulsed by Taylor’s behavior, a jury must want not only to take money from the defendant in a civil case but also give it to the plaintiff.
