Ex football player Lawrence Taylor has been accused of rapping a 15 year-old.
Taylor admitted paying the underage hooker $300 for sex - but he may not have known the girl he's charged with raping is just 16, according to court papers.
The ex-Giant star's appeared in a criminal complaint against pimp Rasheed Davis, who was hit with a sex trafficking charge in Manhattan Federal Court.
Davis beat the teenager before delivering her to Taylor's hotel room early Thursday and told her to tell him "she was 19 years old," the document states.
When Taylor was confronted by cops, he said he "met with a female" that police identified as the teenager. After "engaging in sex acts" LT paid her "$300 in cash."
Ex-wife Maritza Cruz told The Daily News "he always had a lot of no-good and crazy women throwing themselves at him."
"He's definitely no saint," she added. "But I don't believe he would do such a thing. He would have to have been in a crazy state of mind to do something like that, but as far as I know, he's been sober for years."
The hero uncle of the 16-year-old girl allegedly forced to have sex with disgraced Giants great Lawrence Taylor recalled the gut-wretching message he received from his terrified niece Saturday night.
"Tio, help me! help me!" he said the girl texted him. "She said, 'This guy is forcing me to do this. He hit me. He abused me.'"
The runaway teen had text-messaged the uncle on her way to the Holiday Inn in Montebello, N.Y., after she was allegedly beaten by her pimp, Rasheed Davis, and pressured into having sex with the 51-year-old Hall of Famer early Thursday morning, the uncle said.
The uncle, whose name The News is withholding, dialed 911 and cops were waiting for Davis, 36, when they returned to his Bronx home, where he lives with his mother.
"She just wanted to get out of the situation," her uncle said. "She said she's not the type of person to be doing this.
"I feel happy that I saved her life," he said. "It's heartbreaking."
The young girl moved in with Davis after he found her at a bus stop on Boston Post Road, four weeks after she ran away from home in March.
The ex-linebacker admitted to paying $300 for sex with the girl but said he didn't know she was underage, court papers show.
Davis - who was released from prison in 2008 after serving 15 years for manslaughter - allegedly brought the girl to Taylor's hotel room and told her to say she was 19 years old, prosecutors said.
The uncle said the teen didn't recognize her john.
"She never knew that he was a football player," he said.
"It's been very stressful," the uncle said of the past few days. "I can't sleep."
