Lawrence Taylor

Any other man convicted of having sex with a 16 year old would be sent to prison for years and then a lifetime of Sex Offender Registration. If you got money, fame' or work for our so-called Justice System - Jessica's Law looks the other way. Justice? Hardly. What about the thousands of other men who have had consensual sex with an under age girl? Their life's and the life's of their families are ruined forever. Jessica's Law fair? Yeah right.

A judge in New York gave Lawrence Taylor a low-level classification as a sex offender on Tuesday.
Taylor, who received six years probation last month after a guilty plea for sexual misconduct, must register for 20 years with the Level 1 classification after convincing a judge not to impose a harsher penalty.
Judge William Kelly said he did not think it was likely that Taylor would recommit his offense and said the fact that he didn't believe Taylor was targeting children with his crime was a factor. (Via ESPN)
Taylor admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old runaway who had been prostituted. But Taylor said he believed the girl was 19 and that she told him that was her age.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer's name will not appear on public registries because of his low-level classification.
The victim in Taylor's crime -- whose name USA TODAY will not reveal -- said after his sentencing last month that she believed he should have gone to jail.
