NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) – Pro football great Lawrence Taylor has appeared in a suburban New York court, but lawyers spent most of the hearing in a sidebar discussion with the judge.
Taylor’s lawyer wants the judge to dismiss Taylor’s rape indictment.
Taylor signed an autograph on his way into the courthouse in New City, N.Y., on Tuesday, but he did not speak. His next appearance will be Dec. 23.
The former NFL MVP is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old prostitute in a hotel room in May. He has pleaded not guilty.
Defense attorney Arthur Aidala (eye-DAH’-luh) has filed a motion claiming that Taylor’s arrest violated his rights. The motion says Taylor was asleep and alone when police entered without a warrant.
