Several reports have confirmed that former New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor was arrested again this week in Florida after being accused of failing to follow conditions imposed on him as a registered sex offender. Again.
According to reports, the legendary linebacker turned himself in to Broward County Jail on an outstanding felony warrant on Wednesday for failure to report name or residence change. Taylor remained behind bars for several hours until he was ultimately released on Thursday morning.
This is the second time Taylor has been arrested on these types of charges, going back to December 2021 when he was locked up for not complying with his release conditions.,
Mark Eiglarsh, Taylor’s attorney, said, “My client, Lawrence Taylor, will be pleading ‘Not Guilty’ to the recent charges,” Eiglarsh added, “As with the previous incident involving the same allegations, Mr. Taylor did not knowingly commit any criminal offense. This situation is a significant misunderstanding. We are confident that, once the prosecutors review the exculpatory evidence demonstrating Mr. Taylor’s innocence, he will once again achieve a favorable outcome.”
The Pro Hall Of Famer was declared back in 2011 when he was accused of being intimate with a 15-year-old girl. Taylor ultimately cut a deal with prosecutors to close out things, pleading no contest to a lesser charge of residency restriction for persons convicted of certain sex offenses.
