New York police were led to the NFL star after rescuing the teen from her abusive pimp, 36-year-old Rasheed Davis. Prosecutors say that Taylor had intercourse with the girl for $300 after she was forced to meet him at a Rockland county motel. Taylor has defended himself by saying that he didn't know the girl was underage. He's also stated that he did not touch the teenager, but instead masturbated in front of her. In an interview with the NY Daily News, the 16-year-old insisted she and Taylor "definitely had intercourse."
Taylor's agent, Arthur Aidala, has insisted that his client is not guilty, and vows to shoot down the charges when they return to court on July 13th. "Mr. Taylor and his legal team made a strategic decision not to present any evidence to the grand jury, including him testifying or any witnesses in his defense," he said.
Not sure why, but we kinda feel bad for Taylor. Maybe because his life has been a mess for the past ten years, and now he has committed the ultimate act of shame. It is possible that he didn't know she was underage... girls can wear make-up and look way beyond their years. NOT that meeting with a prostitute is ever ok....
I.O.O., the real evil force here is the girl's pimp, who repeatedly victimized a child and verbally and physically assaulted her until she would meet with "customers". Rasheed Davis deserves to be taken out in a field somewhere...
If anything good can come from it, maybe this case will shed light on the unfortunate # of young girls being victimized in the streets everyday??? We hope so.
