Very interesting comments by Lawrence Taylor on his recent guilty pleas in conjunction with having sex with a 16 year old prostitute. I think LT's comments are honest and should be read and considered by everyone here. It should be noted that the escort in question told LT she was 19.

Speaking on Fox News' "Studio B wth Shepard Smith," Taylor said, "I didn't pick her up at no playground. She wasn't hiding behind the school bus or getting off a school bus.
"That's not my M.O. I've been around kids and people all my life," added Taylor, a former New York Giants linebacker and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "I'm not the cause of prostitution. And sometimes I make mistakes and I may go out there . . . This is a working girl that came to my room. And I don't know what her age was. I asked her age. She told me she was 19. It is what it is." "It's the world of prostitution," he said during the Fox News interview. "You never know what you're gonna get. Is it gonna be a pretty girl, an ugly girl or whatever it's gonna be." "You can only ask," Taylor said. "I don't card them. I don't ask for a birth certificate."
Taylor said he had "no beef" with the girl.
"I'll take my punishment like I should, but my problem is at home with my wife, so that's really the only one I have to answer to," he said in the interview.
"I'm not looking for a relationship. Hey, sometimes I look for some company," Taylor said. "It's all clean. I don't have to worry about your feelings. It's all clean. I'm not saying it's right. It's the oldest profession in the world."
"I guess you call it a crime," he said during the interview. "It's one of those crimes you don't think about. You never think you're gonna get busted because everyone does it until you get busted, and then it's more embarrassing than anything else."
