NEW CITY, N.Y. – Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to an indictment that alleges he had sex with a 16-year-old girl in a New York hotel room.

The former NFL star allegedly paid $300 to the girl, a Bronx runaway, for their encounter in May. Taylor pleaded not guilty through his lawyer to third-degree rape, patronizing a prostitute, sexual abuse and endangering a child.

In the gallery, before his case was called, Taylor, 51, smiled, looked around and said, “It must be a slow news day.” He also said to a friend, “You’re not playing golf today, are you?”

Earlier, when a reporter asked outside court if he was guilty, Taylor responded, “Grow up.”

Taylor was arrested May 6, after the girl’s uncle contacted New York City police. He could be imprisoned for up to four years if convicted. (more…)
