Lawrence Taylor was given six years' probation on Tuesday for an encounter with an underage prostitute.
One of the original charges against Taylor was for statutory rape, and if found guilty, he could have received a four-year prison sentence. He pleaded guilty in January to sexual misconduct and having sex with the girl, now 17. The Rockland County District Attorney's office did not request jail time for Taylor.
Both the victim in the case, identified as C.F. due to her age and status as a minor in a rape case, and her attorney, Gloria Allred, said Tuesday that they were disappointed that the former New York Giants Hall of Fame linebacker did not get jail time.
"Lawrence Taylor should be in the hall of shame, not the Hall of Fame," Allred said.
